Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, September 18, 2023 <br />Page 6 <br />Mr. Meyers asked, is there a way to find out? <br />Chief Matias replied, we could probably get some stats, yes. <br />Mr. Meyers stated, I would just like to know how many people are actually using the program to <br />see if it's worth it. <br />Chief Matias replied, we are not paying anything. <br />Mr. Meyers replied, I know. But still if we got the program and we are not using it, it's kind of a <br />waste of money for the grant. That's why I am asking the question. Is it possible that we can get <br />some stats? <br />Chief Matias replied, sure. <br />Mr. Meyers stated, okay. I appreciate it. <br />Chief Matias stated, no one is using the mental illness part because we are not part of it yet. <br />Mr. Meyers stated, right. I am just curious as to the original program. Is it being used or is it not <br />being used? That's my question. <br />Chief Matias stated, to answer your question, yes, it's being used. There isn't a number of <br />participants that we are required to have. <br />Mr. Meyers stated, I was just curious. But is it something that they actually wanted and are using? <br />Something that's good for the Village. <br />Chief Matias stated, it's definitely good for the Village. <br />Chief Carcioppolo stated, we do have a trainer that comes to the Fire Station three times a week <br />for a couple of hours. Because it's not mandatory, we can't force everyone to do it. He's there <br />and puts people through a workout that he designs them. You can talk to him and ask questions <br />and he can build a workout that you can do on your own time. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, so it's done at our facility basically? <br />Chief Carcioppolo replied, we do it at our facility, but they also gave us access to go to their facility <br />if they want to. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, do they do that at the police station also? <br />Chief Matias replied, yes. Part of the grant was on -site. The one guy we communicated with from <br />Health 360 said during the month of August, they had 61 check -ins at the gym. I don't know how <br />
