SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION

Background:
On March 2, 1987 the Employee Wellness Program established the Contra Costa
County Exercise Program. The program currently has five low-intensity,
noontime and after work exercise classes in four locations, and has
approximately 120 regular program participants. The rationale behind
establishing this program is the belief that exercise is an essential
ingredient to overall wellness. It can improve physical strength and
flexibility as well as to positively affect many health related conditions.
Exercise also provides a relief valve for the physical effects of stress and
helps improve mental functioning while improving self image.
In order to motivate employees to attend classes on a regular, ongoing basis
and to provide recognition and reinforcement for those who are attending, the
Employee Wellness Program has developed an incentive plan. This plan utilizes
various types of promotional incentives to accomplish this goal . They
include, but are not limited to such items as:
- Celebrate Health T-Shirts,
- Exercise Bags,
- Wrist Weights,
- G-ift certificates,
- Award plaques,
- Luncheon gift certificates,
- Certificates for free health-medical tests related to fitness and
wellness,
- Certificates for half price fitness classes and two-for-one classes,
and other promotional events and prizes which should encourage
continued participation in the program.
The Personnel Department's Petty Cash Revolving Fund has been in the amount of
$200.00 for at least ten years. Not only have costs ally, but he

disbursements from petty cash often deplete the fund entirely. With the
expanded Wellness and Exercise programs, an additional $300.00 is sorely
needed.
The larger petty cash fund for the Personnel Department would enable the
Employee Wellness Program to obtain various incentives and promotional prizes
on a cash basis to award small cash prizes, and to ensure that they can be
distributed on a timely basis. In order to assure the flexibility necessary
to implement a creative and effective incentive program, the Employee Wellness
Program encourages the Board's support and approval of this. Revolving Fund.
