Hochatown adopts employee wellness policy covering base gym membership after 60 days
Summary
Trustees approved Resolution 2026-02 to offer a base-level gym membership ($48/month) to employees after 60 days with a staff-recommended minimum of six uses per month; staff estimated total annual cost if all 23 employees enroll at $13,248.
Trustees adopted an employee wellness policy (Resolution 2026-02) to pay for base-level gym memberships after 60 days of employment, with a staff-recommended minimum of six uses per month to maintain participation. "Base level membership... That's $48 dollars per employee per month," Staff member (S4) said, adding that if all 23 employees enroll the town's monthly cost would be $1,104 and the annual cost $13,248.
Trustees debated start eligibility (60 vs. 90 days) and how to accommodate employees who work limited shifts (for example, fire department personnel who work roughly 10 days per month). Members agreed to leave some administrative flex to staff to prorate or otherwise assess use levels for employees with atypical schedules. The motion to approve the base-level membership after 60 days with a six-uses-per-month requirement passed by roll call.
