Organizer asks city to help launch PEP 'GetFit Hampton' program after $10,000 grant
Summary
Veronica Elise Davis said she secured a $10,000 grant to start a Personal Empowerment Plan (PEP) initiative at three sites and asked staff to investigate administrative delays holding up rollout and to help promote the program.
Veronica Elise Davis, who identified herself as leading a GetFit Hampton initiative, told council she had secured a $10,000 grant to start a Personal Empowerment Plan (PEP) program with three sites — LaSalle social services, City Hall and the Franklin/Rupert Sargent Building — and asked staff to investigate why city procedures were delaying implementation. "PEP is Personal Empowerment Plan," Davis said, describing a program with nutritionists and fitness leaders and a planned stairway challenge and Buckroe Beach biathlon.
Davis said the program could yield about $36,000 a year in benefits and noted local partners and donated incentives; she asked that someone meet with her and city staff to address risk management and HR hold-ups. A council member requested a short explanation of the PEP program for the public, which Davis provided during her allotted time.
