Meeting Date:	05/10/2021
Submitted for:	Samantha Sanchez	Prepared by:	Samantha Sanchez
Department:	Risk Management

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve, by Order, the following budget amendment (line item transfer) within the General Fund:

	Acct. Number	Acct. Name	Adopted	Request	Current	End Bal.
From:	1001-1180-001-457502	Safety Fair	$1,500	$1,499	$1,500	$1.00
To:	1001-1180-001-457502-005	Safety Fair Safety Incentive Program	$1,500	$1,499	$1,500	$2,999

Issue: Due to pandemic, Risk Management is not able to have a safety fair, and our Safety Specialist created a program to reduce WC claims. Risk Management has seen an increase in Workers Compensation claims this fiscal year, the Safety Specialist would like to use those funds to purchase Safety incentive items (Steel Toe Boots).

Solution: By adequately funding the safety fair safety incentive program account, we will be able to target individuals who have not had any injuries or workers comp claims during this fiscal year 2020-2021.

Result: We will be able to purchase safety incentive items (Steel Toe Boots) for employees who follow safety practices and did not have any injury claims this fiscal year 2020-2021. This incentive program will motivate employees to practice and adopt safe work habits, thus helping to mitigate any future injuries, and workers comp claims ultimately saving Webb County money.
