Plan to enhance employees lives in the works

Coulee Dam employees could be on the road to wellness.

Town clerk Stefani Bowmen is working on a plan that will enhance the lives of town employees in several ways.

The plan also, if enough participate, would enable the town to get a 2-percent discount on its insurance from the Association of Washington Cities.

Bowmen instituted such a plan when she was deputy clerk at Wilbur.

The plan would attempt to improve general health by encouraging employees to eat right, exercise, work safely and encourage employees to get along, which would contribute to their overall well being. She said employees would be encouraged to use jogging trails within the town.

The town hopes to pass a resolution so Bowmen can get started on getting the pieces of the program together, and to advise employees of what it is all about.
