FIT CITY WELLNESS PROGRAM I
PROCEDURES FOR USE OF WELLNESS INCENTIVES
The Wellness Committee is pleased to present information about the city
employees Fit City WellnessProgram. As there are many new employees
since the initial development of this program, we hope this information
explains and clarifies the various components within the program.
The Wellness Program was established in 1987 by the Wellness Committee,
with the support of the Mayor, City Councilmembers and the Department
Heads. It was initiated through the Association of Washington Cities
(AWC), as part of their Health Care Cost Containment Program. The
purpose of this program has been to provide education and opportunities
to help you make choices towards lifestyle changes, which in turn will
enhance your overall health.
The Wellness Committee offers various health related presentations and
acti vi ties on a regular basis throughout each year. These informal
presentations and activities will continue as the primary means to convey
healthful information, featuring guest speakers and video presentations.
Weight Management, Humor & Health, Stress To Your Advantage, the annual
Physical Fitness Appraisal and opportunities for blood pressure rechecks
are examples of presentations and activities offered.
As we gain on our healthier life styles, the program has an incentive
point system to entice and reward your efforts. You can acquire wellness
points for participating in each wellness event. Points will also be
given for activities done on your own time as outlined in Appendix B.
Accumulated points can then be used for time off from your work day, or
you may choose our newest option to select health related tangible items
or services. See Appendix A.
In order for the wellness committee to keep record of your participation
and incentive points the following guidelines apply:
1. If you attend a Wellness Presentation or Video you will be asked
to sign in on a participation form.
2. If you have a Personal Exercise Proqram as outlined in appendix

Re:
1990 ~'lellness Budget
Dear Alice,
Attached is our proposed Hellness budget for 1990. We have listed
Salary and Benefits seperatly fran other ~'lellness expenses, as these
costs were not originally expected to cane out of the overall Wellness
budget set in 1988. Salary and Benefit costs absorbed a high percentage
of our 1989 Wellness budget.
The ea.ui:p:lent budgeted for 1990 is tentative, contingent on whatever
plans the City r.E.y have for increasing the available space at City Hall.
Tangible i teJns have not yet been approved by CDuncil. vIe are in-
cluding them on our p:Jrposal for 1990, as we wuld like to offer a
suJ:stitute to those employees who find it diffic'Ult to take time off of
wurk to use their earned Wellness points.
to decision has been reached as to \.,hether or not employees will be
allowed to carry over vJellness points into 1990. Please advise.
~']e have COl'1e up vlith some great ideas for rrBk:ing our 1990 prograI'l ~
a rmre interesting and enjoyable one, while still passing on the importance
of keeping fit and healthy. He are looking forward to an even better
FIT CITY.
Again, we thank you for your active support of our vlellness P=gram.
Sincerely,
~~
