REPORTS
Operational CEO Report From his report, Merkley noted that open enrollment for benefits has concluded. New this year, employees were able to enroll online and could choose from 7 different Dakotacare health plan options to suit their needs. The Human Resources Department did a great job in steering the enrollment process. Also, plans for a Leadership Development program have been finalized. The program will be available to all directors and supervisors and will cover important leadership topics over the course of 10 months.

A short list of 3 to 4 firms will be selected and on-site interviews will be conducted mid-January. HGA was recently onsite for the kickoff/prevalidation phase meeting that was held with the internal project leadership team represented by Senior Leadership and department directors that will be impacted by the project. Merkley stated that he will be working on an internal building project organizational chart for the formation of additional committees to assist with communication and decision making. Merkley is also in the process of firming up the schedule with HGA to meet project expectations due to the tight timeframe. To assist with the Capital Campaign, The Renaissance Group was recently hired. Merkley stated that he was very impressed with a sample booklet that they developed. The cost is reasonable for the feasibility study and up front work is being provided by The Renaissance Group. Financing Toby Morris and Jack Arnold from Dougherty and Associates have been busy researching possible financing options and sources of funding. There is still a fair amount of work to be done.

More exploratory work is currently underway and education of options with City Council and Mayor involvement will be critical for future approval.
