Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the approval of gym service agreements for the continuation of the employee gym membership benefit.  (Olivia Jenkins, Director of Human Resources and Wellness Committee Representative)

The Wellness Committee met to discuss employees gym services and are recommending switching to 24/7 Get Fit gym for the remainder of the fiscal year, January 2018 through June 2018.  The recommendation was presented to City Council at the December 6, 2017 Work Session and City Council directed staff to come back with options to be presented in the regular council meeting of December 27, 2017.  Staff has met with both gym owner's 24/7 Get Fit and Border Fitness; which resulted in proposed contracts for both facilities. Border Fitness contract is for three (3) months contingent on improvements recommended by the wellness committee.  24/7 Get Fit act has been amended to address the concern for the penalty provisions, and is for six (6) months.

Gym membership benefit for city employees is part of the City's Wellness Program to provide options and encouraging employees to become physically active in a non-work related environment, adopt and maintain healthy habits.  Employee enrollment is limited to 50 employees per month, and in the last 12 months, the average enrollment number has been approximately 40.

I MOVE TO APPROVE BOTH CONTRACTS AS PRESENTED.
