This would replace the gym <br />equipment at both the North and South Precinct. <br />If awarded these funds there would need to be a budget amendment and there are no <br />matching funds required for this grant. <br />Project summary statement: <br />Officer Wellness is a focus for the department to recruit and retain staff in this highly <br />stressful but important job. Part of wellness is physical health, currently the <br />Department has 2 gyms, one at each precinct, for staff to use. Our current equipment <br />was purchased more than 20 years ago. Some of the equipment has become unsafe <br />from age and prolonged use. Other pieces are beyond repair, and we are spending more <br />money to repair it than its value. To continue providing our employees with <br />opportunities to increase their physical fitness and improve their health, we would like <br />to be able to provide quality equipment for our employees to use. Focusing on fitness <br />as part of employee wellness helps and benefits both the department and the city. It <br />keeps our officers physically prepared for the physical strain of this job which also helps <br />the mental wellbeing of the officer. Keeping our officers physically and mentally healthy <br />keeps them working and helping the city. Also, by making this a focus and adding better <br />gym equipment it will help us in recruitment and retention. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Authorize city staff to apply for and if awarded authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary <br />documents and agreements with the Criminal Justice Training Commission, regarding <br />the application, acceptance, and utilization of the Police Wellness Grant, in the amount <br />of $120,000. <br /> <br />City Council Agenda Item Cover Sheet
