TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, AND GOLF BOARD
FROM: CITY OF CALDWELL EMPLOYEES
RE: GOLF PASSES FOR EMPLOYEES WORKING PRIOR 1991
As you are aware, the employee golf passes were part of
an employee benefit package given during Al McClusky 's Mayoral
term. This included both the golf pass for fulltime/permanent
employees and swimming pool and minature golf passes for
employees and their families . Council members , appointed officials ,
and our Mayors have also received these benefits .
These recreational passes have been a great morale booster
and a good way for the employees in different departments to
become better acquainted.
As these are benefits , not all employees take advantage
of them. Approximately 50 employees pick un a golf pass each
year . Many employees and family members use the pool pass each
year . These benefits cost the city nothing out of budget funds .
Around ZO employees use their golf pass on a regular basis .
Others use it occasionally. Almost everyone brings others
(friends , relatives) to the golf course and these people do pay
for green fees .
Many of the employees who have passes are members of the
Golf Association and have helped support the course. Without
the pass some employees would not be able to afford to use our
city recreational facilities . Some of the employees pay for
trail fees and cart storage to the city .
As this is a benefit some employees choose not to take
advantage of it . The employees who do not take advantage of
the pool pass are not complaining . Some employees do not have
the time to participate in the Wellness program, but they have
not been complaining .
We feel that it is not ethical to take away a benefit
given to an employee. Please consider the loss of income and
loss of morale by rescinding these benefits . Would a better
solution be to allow the dedicated employees use of their
benefits as long as they remain employed by the City of
Caldwell? Thus recreational passes given to employess would be
resolved by attrition.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
