CR2002-169 Wellness Committee bylaws CITY OF October 29, 2002 ~ Council Report 2002-169 HOPKINS . Wellness Committee Bylaws Amendment to the Membership Provision Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the amended wordinq in the Wellness Committee Bylaws under 'Members' to allow better representation within the Public Works Department. Adoption of this motion will result in better representation from the Public Works Department, which now includes the Activity Center, Pavilion, Arts Center, and Depot. Overview The current bylaws state that there shall be "two members from the Public Works Department, one member from the Activity Center." The Activity Center is now a part of the Public Works Department; therefore, the members of the Wellness Committee feel it would be more efficient to change the wording to "three members from the Public Works Department" and eliminate the mention of the Activity Center. This will allow more people to participate in serving on the Committee and will no longer require one of three people from the Activity Center to always be a member of the Committee. -primary Issues to Consider . Will this change the number of members on the Wellness Committee? No, there will still be a total of nine members on the Committee, three of them from the Public Works Department.

Overview The city of Hopkins has had a Wellness Committee for the past two years and, in fact, it has received a budget allocation in each of those years. However, the City Council has never formally adopted a resolution supporting and encouraging the Wellness Committee activities. staff is recommending the proposed resolution as a means of formally recognizing and supporting the activities of the . Wellness Committee. Primary issues to consider 0 Why is the Council being asked to support this resolution? While the Wellness Committee has been in existence for the past two years, it is now receiving more formal recognition by the administration and hopefully, the City Council.
