Board of Trustees
March 26, 2009
Members: President Keith Corbett, Vice President Roberta Olson, Secretary Jim
Booher, Dan Little, Al Baker, Debra Johnston, Rob Jones, Dianne Evers, Sandra
Faltemier, Jeff Weldon, ex-officio
Guests: Kevin Coffey, CFO and Interim CEO, Tammy Hillestad, CNO, Steve and Chris

President Corbett called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m.
Corbett informed the members that board member Booher is retiring from SDSU. A
retirement party is scheduled April 18 and members are invited to attend.
Corbett asked that agenda item 8A be moved to the first item on the agenda. Steve
Larson from NEXT, Inc. updated the members on the status of construction
administration. NEXT, Inc. has met frequently with the Strategic Planning Committee
since their being hired as construction manager. Larson provided a brief history of the
various firms that have been involved with the health system on various building projects
(Ellerbe/Beckett; Banner, Walker and Associates and HGA). Larson also revisited the
six phases of design and construction as well as the costs noting a cost savings of nearly
$178,000 for the programming and schematic design of the campus master plan and
programming, schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding
and construction administration of the emergency department (ED). The aggressive
timeline was reviewed by Larson, citing an August 1st target date for construction to
begin on the emergency department remodel. Since Larson represents the owner’s
interest, the timeline presented also noted each phase will require the board’s approval
throughout the entire process. Larson noted the board needs to make a decision as to
where to put the ambulance during the ED remodel. It was proposed a hospital support
building be evaluated. Evers made a motion, seconded by Olson to have the Finance
Committee look at the financial feasibility of purchasing land to house a hospital support
building. Motion carried.
Larson proposed the board authorize NEXT to pull together an A/E team and have
Banner do the civil engineering. A motion was made by Johnston, seconded by Faltemier
to do concurrent programming to determine the cost of a hospital support building.
Motion carried.
Having no further business, NEXT, Inc. was excused.
Consent Agenda
A motion by Baker, seconded by Olson to approve the following consent agenda items:

Committee Reports
QI/Personnel Committee: The QI/Personnel Committee met on March 12, 2009. There
were not action items to report.
Strategic Planning Committee: The committee met on March 17, 2009. A motion made
by Olson to further investigate if a joint venture with Avera on a DME (durable medical
equipment) service would be a viable venture. Jones seconded the motion. Motion

Development Corporation is interested in BHS having a clinic in their community.
Coffey noted as part of the strategic plan and the recently approved rural demonstration
project funds, this would fit well.

Reference Questionnaire was handed out. This form will be further developed by the
CEO Search Committee and brought back to the April Board Meeting.
Long Term Care: The Executive Committee had invited BEDC’s director Heuton to
attend tonight’s meeting to clarify the intent of the contract, but Heuton’s schedule did
not allow him to attend. The board members expressed concern about the additional
research and it delaying the health systems timeframe to move forward with the campus
master plan. It was further noted that BHS’s attorney advised the board not to sign the
current contract since the contract is between BEDC and Lewin Group. A motion was
made by Evers to sign the contract once the language is cleaned up. Olson seconded the
motion. Jones amended the motion to include Brookings Health System is the owner of
