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. Respectfully
