Council approves employee recreation benefit: 5% discount and $20 monthly reimbursement
Summary
The council approved a corporate membership arrangement with the Rush County Recreation Center that includes a 5% discount on monthly membership fees and a proposed $20-per-month reimbursement for employees who visit the center at least 10 times; the health-insurance committee proposed paying the benefit from the county's self-funded health insurance fund.
Staff asked the council for permission to use the county—s self-funded health insurance fund (Fund 52.02) to support a new employee wellness benefit. The proposed program would secure a corporate membership discount of 5% from the Rush County Recreation Center and reimburse up to $20 per month for an employee—s membership fee if the employee visited the center at least 10 times in that month.
The health-insurance committee recommended funding the reimbursements from the county—s self-funded insurance fund. Staff noted about 140 employees would be eligible; current rec-center membership data showed eight eligible employees already members. The presenter said that if 25 employees sign up, it would be considered a success.
A motion to approve the proposal was made and the transcript records "Motion passes." The meeting did not record mover/second or a named vote tally in the excerpt provided.
