Title
Authorizing an expenditure not to exceed $32,000 from the General Fund (Employee Engagement Committee) for the provision of an employee engagement activity with the Toledo Mud Hens Baseball Club, Inc; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Employee Engagement Committee (EEC) is composed of City of Toledo employees representing multiple departments and divisions throughout the City that meet on a monthly basis to discuss work culture and ideas for employee engagement. A major goal of the Committee is to present city-wide employee appreciation events throughout the year. One such event is an annual Mud Hens Employee Night. The EEC respectfully requests up to $32,000 for the 2024 Mud Hens Employee Night event on July 26, 2024. The requested amount will provide 1,200 home terrace tickets, a 2-hour buffet, an announcement of the event, and entry in a raffle for free Mud Hens apparel. The Department of Human Resources and the Office of the Mayor supports this initiative and the EEC’s commitment to employee appreciation.
