Summary

At meetings from April through July 2021 the committee handled leadership changes — Tim McDermott resigned; Jamie Woltemath served as interim; Brandi Klaassen was appointed chair on July 1 — and agreed to place a newspaper and newsletter ad for a part-time Wellness Committee Chairperson (10–20 hours/week).

The Saline County Wellness Committee addressed leadership and staffing during spring and early summer 2021, including an interim assignment and a permanent appointment.

Following Tim McDermott’s resignation the committee discussed reorganization on April 6; Jamie Woltemath offered to serve as interim chair while the committee considered options. The committee asked staff to obtain WorkWell availability for a future presentation on the MyVia portal and requested current Wellness budget expenditures.

On April 20 the committee approved Jennifer Filipi’s membership after she attended two consecutive meetings. The committee also agreed to place an advertisement in the newspaper and the May newsletter for a part-time Wellness Committee Chairperson position (10–20 hours per week); the Saline County Board of Commissioners will determine the wage. Jamie was tasked with compiling a list of duties to share with Anita Bartels.

At the July 1 meeting Jamie introduced Brandi Klaassen as the newly appointed chairperson. Brandi said she would host a 'Colors' class, explore a Blood Pressure Clinic with Madonna and build a mid-July mini-challenge ('100 Miles in 100 Days'). The committee agreed a user-friendly program redesign is needed for 2022 and discussed next steps with contributions from the Nebraska Safety Council example that was previously reviewed.

The minutes show multiple interim and permanent leadership actions, a hiring advertisement for a part-time coordinator role, and follow-up assignments for staff to provide budget and vendor availability information to the committee.
