Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Intergovernmental Agreement between Cochise County and the City of Douglas for the Exchange of Services and Facilities for the period of March 26, 2013 through December 31, 2014, for the purpose of providing exercise and health coach services for the City of Douglas and County employees.
Background:
Because the newly renovated government building in Douglas, AZ, does not have a space allocated for employee physical activities, it was brought to our attention that there is a room located in the City of Douglas building that is already equipped with some exercise equipment. This IGA would allow county employees to utilize this room and the equipment in the room during regular business hours. In addition, city employees would be allowed to meet with our Active Adults Exercise Specialist for brief coaching services.
The Active Adults Program aims to improve the health of employees and assist those who currently struggle with a chronic condition. In addition to approving this IGA, it allows the Active Adults Program to accomplish one of their state deliverables by partnering with other worksites in assisting them in the development of their own worksite wellness program. This sets the stage for implementation of a wellness policy either by the county or the city which is another state deliverable.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Your approvals are respectfully requested.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Not approving this amendment would not allow county employees to use the exercise room within the Douglas City Hall building; and would not allow city employees to utilize our Active Adults services.
