Board approves $100/month fitness reimbursement pilot for volunteer firefighters
Summary
Trustees approved a pilot program reimbursing active volunteer firefighters up to $100 per month for gym or fitness-class memberships to meet NFPA health and wellness guidance; trustees emphasized documentation and attendance requirements.
The board approved a pilot reimbursement program allowing active volunteer firefighters to claim up to $100 per month for gym memberships or fitness classes as part of a health and wellness initiative tied to National Fire Protection Association guidance.
Trustees discussed documentation and attendance requirements; the board said proof of membership (receipt or invoice) plus an attendance record or facility-generated log for the month would be required to receive reimbursement. A fire department representative said the program could aid retention and recruitment while interim in-house facilities remain a goal.
The resolution was approved, and staff will track participation and report back to the board on program uptake and cost implications.
