Rob Jones, Chairman called the meeting to order at 6:05 p.m.
Jones noted City Councilors, Mike McClemans and John Kubal will be the new ex-officios on the
Board. Mike will be Julie Whaley’s replacement and John will replace Jael Trieb. Introductions
were made.
Thompson, Environmental Services Manager, was present to provide status updates on the
sprinkler system at the nursing home, second water line and repair from the snow damage at
Brookhaven Estates. Banner Associates recommended PE Group, a consultant from Parker, SD
to assist in the development of the RFP bid information for BVM. Currently negotiating PE
Group’s fees. As was noted in previous meetings, two of the three nursing home wings currently
have a dry system. These two wings need replacement. PE Group is recommending going to a
wet system. Thompson noted he has been in contact with the Department of Health regarding the
timeline. It is possible we might be granted up to two years if BHS provides a building plan of a
new building, if that is a viable option.
Thompson noted the location of the second water line has been evaluated by engineers from
HGA. The engineers have determined that the water line, as originally proposed, will work.
Thompson went on to note the roof leak and water damage repaid at Brookhaven Estates is
almost complete. Intek has performed the air quality test and provided an assurance to BHS. All
that remains is sheetrock to be replaced and walls painted. It was determined that due to snow
and winds an ice dam developed. Recommendation was to increase air circulation and limit vinyl
wall coverings. Thompson was excused at 6:33 p.m.

Unfinished Business
Construction Update
Oberg noted one of the five phases has been split into two phases making the total number of
phases 6. Phase 2 is nearing completion. Equipment will be moved in around August 16 and the
punch list reviewed August 23. Doors to the new area of the ED will open on or about August
30. The third through the sixth phase is internal remodeling of the existing ED and Laboratory
areas. Marketing is planned for the completion of phase two.
Support Service Building
As discussed previously, two plan options were presented for the support service building. Plan
A would house the Ambulance, Home Health and Hospice and is 9,000 square feet and Plan B is
11,100 square feet and would be home to Ambulance, Home Health, Hospice and retail for
durable medical equipment. Cost estimates thus far are $880,000 and $1,150,000 respectively.
Plan B is no longer an option since the additional 35 feet of land is not available. There was
discussion about what is the best utilization for the building. Oberg noted the durable medical
equipment joint venture is close to being finalized.
Spiritual Care Program
Hillestad noted the job description is finalized and a program is being developed. The position
would provide support to inpatients, outpatients, long-term care, emergency department, families
and employees. Hillestad noted Pastor Gehant has been a great resource during the process.
Reports
CEO Report
Oberg noted the GPO (group purchasing organization) analysis has been completed. BHS will
stay with the current vendor, Amerinet. A 10-point plan will be implemented between now and
