Title
Matters relative to Employee Wellness Program
Body
SUMMARY: Mr. Rutherford will present a proposal for an employee wellness program. According to the survey presented last month, over 100 employees stated they would be interested in a wellness program. If 70 or more join, the cost to the employee would be $13/month and the cost to the City would be $13/month for a total of $26. The total for the rest of the fiscal year would be approximately $4,000 for the memberships plus incentives for weight loss. A budget amendment would not be necessary. The cost for the total program (memberships, weight loss incentives, fitness assessment rewards) for fiscal year 2014/2015 would cost the City approximately $50,000. However, Blue Cross/Blue Shield will cover a portion of the cost through a premium reduction for the program. A copy of the proposed City of Crossville Wellness Program is attached.
