Present: Dana, Meagan,Jennifer, Brady, Ken, Brian, Kathleen
Brainstorming:
Dana-We've had this format where we have a couple people handle a quarter and cover a subject,
which has worked pretty well to manage work. We might consider changing it up a little like doing a
couple projects.
-Changing out our vending machines?Jennifer will talk with Jamie about the vending machine
purchase.
-Sustainability-such as changing out our practices to move away from plastics and toward more
environmentally friendly.
Lunchrooms
Parks
Bigger city operations
-Ken brings up the cafe at the library. Healthy options for breakfast/lunch would possibly be a
walking draw.
-Brady-Interconnected,what about an article from Wellness?
-Group activities,such as team activities-5K, maybe with a themed shirt? Hikes,or something
like that?
-Discussion about perhaps skipping a year of wellness affair.That might leave room to do a
different bigger project. Perhaps we should include in survey?
-Wellness activity tied into DEI?
3rd quarter wrap up!
Meagan-Albert Sheilds was puzzling away during his lunch hours. 34 separate people participated, but
those that participated really participated! Every department was represented.
Question about whether 34 is good participation? Do we have any metrics around this? Dana will
research whether there is a norm we should be trying to hit.
