Summary

Jody Larsenbach presented a resolution to amend county resolution 2014-141 to reassign the employee wellness program to the Employee Input Committee and introduced drafted bylaws; legal and HR reviewed the documents. The transcript records presentation but no recorded board vote.

Jody Larsenbach of the Employee Input Committee presented a resolution that would amend the county's original resolution 2014-141 (which established the employee wellness program) to transfer oversight to the Employee Input Committee and to adopt newly drafted committee bylaws. Larsenbach said legal counsel and Human Resources have reviewed and approved the changes.

Larsenbach described the bylaws as a new governance structure for the wellness program; the proposed change formalizes the committee's role and sets operating procedures that had not previously existed. The item was placed on the consent agenda for the board's consideration; the transcript does not record a motion, second, or vote.

Why it matters: the change alters which county body has program oversight and creates written rules for the Employee Input Committee, potentially affecting how employee wellness initiatives are planned and funded.

Next steps: if the board adopts the resolution at a subsequent formal vote, the Employee Input Committee would assume the responsibilities described in the amended resolution and bylaws.
