In other business, Councilman Bryant discussed the new curbs along East Harrison Street and. asked if the council could see if the curbs could be continued all the way to Franklin Street and also on West South Street including Lockerbie Street. Joe Beikman, Street Superintendent, will get prices for this project which would probably be a continuing project each year. He suggested requesting TIF money for Harrison Street and one side of South Street since curbs are in the redevelopment plan, but wants to keep the two jobs separated. Councilman. Shields talked about the ID cards for each employee. When employees go to Care Fitness they need to show their ID card. He had also made up a draft concerning the 1D cards for the council to consider inserting into the personnel policy. Councilman Shields had been working with St. Francis Hospital on a wellness program and he gave council members a packet to look at and study. He would like to have a day long wellness fair. The Town of Mooresville Self Funded Health Insurance plan provides for a wellness program, but Councilman Shields feels this is not being taken advantage of by the employees. Councilman Shields asked Police Commissioner Dennis Knierim if the Palice Department had taken the occupational physical. Police Commissioner Knierim answered he was sure they had not. Councilman Shields asked the council haw they felt about mandatary occupational physicals. Money was put in the 2006 Police and Fire budgets for this type of physical. He wanted to know if Council members would be willing to recommend to the Folice Department or make mandatory they each get this type of physical. Street Department Superintendent Joe Beikman told the council if an employee goes to their personal doctor to get a physical the co-pay is $20 and if they would get their physical at a wellness fair it would cost the employee $30. He asked if the council would consider a list of what tests they want done and then each employee could take this list to their personal doctor. Police Commissioner Dennis Knierim commented he did not think the Council could mandate this physical for the Palice. Councilman Bryant said Dean Mayfield, insurance agent, should come to the next council meeting on February 21, 2006. ___
