As we all know, healthy employees make for a productive <br />workforce, fewer insurance claims, and less use of sick time. The city has always <br />been a big supporter of employee wellness programs, and to that end, has always <br />been a supporter of good quality and appropriate wellness equipment. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Please see the attached quote that fitness instructor Ron Nierenhausen obtained <br />regarding replacing an older, non-used treadmill with a newer model. The wellness <br />room gets much more use during the winter months than the summer months and <br />the treadmill is the most used piece of equipment, so replacing this treadmill now is <br />appropriate. <br /> <br />Staff supports this requested purchase and the source of funds for this expenditure <br />would be the city insurance fund. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Council authorize the purchase of the exercise <br />equipment with funding to come from the city insurance fund. <br /> <br />s:council \exerpurc <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
