non-medical equipment will go to bid April 15. Project is approximately 25-30 days behind
scheduled. There have been no life safety or infection control issues.
Ambulance Service Building and/or Support Service Building
Oberg noted contingent upon land availability, which he is currently in discussions over, a
recommendation, will be made at the April Board meeting to do either the Ambulance Service
Building or the Support Service Building.
Remodeling Projects
Oberg updated the members regarding possible projects. He noted enhanced revenue streams
may result. Planning is in the early stages and as viability of projects unfolds, he will keep the
Board informed as well as provide an implementation and feasibility plan.
New Business
Policies
5 of 6
Extended Illness and Injury Bank (EI&I) Policy.
The EI&I is a new policy. In order to transition to a true PTO (Paid Time Off) system this new
policy will bridge a current employee's sick leave hours for use on any FMLA related OR an
infectious disease that precludes the employee from working, as outlined in the existing Infection
Control policy. There was considerable discussion regarding the proposed policy. The Board
realizes BHS is facing difficult financial times and benefit costs need to be reduced. A motion
from Schroeder, second by Faltemier to approve the policy as written. The adoption date will be
May 1, 2010 with staff education in April regarding the changes. Motion carried.
Paid Time Off (PTO) Policy.
The current policy factors in holidays and vacation time based on number of years employed at
BHS with sick leave accrued separately at a specified rate based on full time or part time status.
In order to bring the current policy into a true paid time off policy the following changes were
proposed: eliminate the accumulation of sick time and establish the EI&I Bank for employees
who have hours in their sick leave account; change the time frame of completed years of service
to completed paid hours (proposed tiers: 0-8320 hours; 8321-20799 hours; 20800+); increase the
accrual rate (proposed per hour: .081; .100; .121); only regular scheduled employees working 20
or more hours/week will earn PTO; reduce the maximum accrual of PTO to 360 hours (currently
employees with 21 or more years of service can accumulate 544 hours, PTO hours would be paid
to bring balance down to 350 hours). A motion from Schroeder second by Faltemier to approve
the policy as written. The adoption date would be May 1, 2010 with staff education in April
regarding the changes. Motion carried.
On Call/Call Back Policy.
The existing policy 8311.105 titled Shift Differential & Call Pay outlined the pay difference that
would be paid based on differential in shift. The employee handbook addresses call pay. The
two have been combined into the policy presented. A motion came from the QI/Personnel
Committee to recommend approval of the On Call/Call Back Policy adopted April 1, 2010 as
presented. Motion carried.
Computing Password Policy
Computing Password Policy was another new policy presented for review and approval. The
purpose of the policy is to establish acceptable password selection and maintenance to maximize
computer system security throughout BHS. The policy is common place throughout businesses.
It was noted in the future only new operational policies will be brought to the Board for review.
A motion came from the QI/Personnel Committee to recommend approval of the Computing
Password Policy adopted April 1, 2010 as presented. Motion carried.
CEO Report
In July 2009 paperwork was submitted to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for
provider-based status for Brookings Health System Yorkshire Eye Clinic. Approval was granted
on March 22, 2010. The Executive Summary from the Operational Analysis Report was

in their respective departments. Oberg noted there are no layoffs planned in the immediate future
and hopes the staffing models being developed will result in improved financial performance.
