HelloFresh Boxes are Coming Soon!
Get ready to cook some delicious foods delivered right to your door! All for FREE!
Starting Jan. 27 at 10 a.m., an email will be sent to all city of Clearwater employee emails to sign up for one FREE HelloFresh delivery box. The first 148 employees to register will receive a meal kit.
A few guidelines for the 2025 HelloFresh delivery box:
- Only one box delivery is allowed per household. If you live with another city of Clearwater employee, the first to sign up will have the box delivered to them. Please discuss and plan who will sign up for the box ahead of time.
- Boxes can be delivered to home addresses only, not post-office boxes and no work addresses. Any address that is a PO box or city of Clearwater work address will not be accepted, and the next person on the list will be sent the meal kit.
- Boxes will be delivered between Feb. 26-28. We cannot change the delivery dates. If you will be out of town those days, please do not sign up.

New Year, Healthier You With Omada
Three Tips to Replace an Unhealthy Habit
 Tip 1: Make a List
Reflect on your daily routine and write down habits you want to change, like skipping
breakfast, sitting for long periods, or opting for sugary snacks.
Tip 2: Choose One Habit to Change
Pick one habit to change and make a simple plan. For instance, swap out an afternoon
sugary drink with water, or take a 10-minute walk during your lunch break.
Tip 3: Commit to Seven Days
Focus on the new habit for the next seven days. If you slip, no worries. Simply start over for another seven days. Change is challenging, but Omada is here to support you every step of the way.
You have access to Omada as you pursue your health goals in 2025. Get personalized health support from anywhere, at no additional cost to you, if eligible.
If you or your covered adult dependents are enrolled in the city's medical plan offered through Cigna, are at risk for type 2 diabetes or heart disease, and are accepted into the program, you'll receive the program at no additional cost.

Age-Based Catch-Up Limits Increase for 457K Investment Contribution Limits
Did you know your investment plan allows for a higher catch-up limit if you are age 60, 61, 62 or 63?
We understand that saving for retirement is an important goal and that you might like to save a bit more than you could in years past. Starting in 2025, if you are age 60, 61, 62 or 63, you can choose to save more.
Discover the Benefit
Your plan allows those between ages of 60 and 63 to save more than the age-50 catch-up limit:
- The higher limit is an additional $11,250 for 2025, in addition to the normal contribution limit of $23,500 per year.
- This limit applies for each year you are 60, 61, 62 and 63.
- For the year you turn 64, the limit will revert back to the age-50 catch-up limit, which is $7,500 for 2025.
The higher catch-up limit of $11,250 is instead of the normal catch-up limit of $7,500, not in addition to it. The higher catch-up limit is indexed and may change each year.
