Campus Master Planning – BVM “Options”
Oberg noted a decision needs to be made in the near future on the nursing home. The nursing
home appears to be in the way of any future growth of the organization. Jones noted financial
models were also done to determine the cost feasibility of the entire project as well as the
development of different phases. The model compensates for lean years the organization may
incur. McKnight noted she needs more information before she could make a decision. Johnston
noted a decision needs to be made sooner rather than later. Oberg noted the Executive Council
compiled, summarized and ranked 10 possible options for the nursing home, half of the options
are not recommended. Options ranged from building new to keeping status quo. To provide back
ground to the new members, he handed out schematic design drawings of the hospital, as well as
calculations to support the square footage, that were developed in July 2009 that outlined the
expansion of Brookings Health System. Further discussions will continue.
Unfinished Business
Construction Update
Oberg noted the new area of the Lab was in full operation on Wednesday, August 25. The new
area of the ED will open for business on Monday, August 30. The panels on the outside of the
building will be installed next week and the asphalt in the parking lot will be laid Friday with the
new parking spaces stripped on Saturday. Outdoor signage is in place as well as a marketing
news release to the public. The construction contingency dollars are almost exhausted; however,
there are reserves in the furniture and equipment budget to help off-set any future unexpected
issues should they arise during the remainder of the remodel. Completion date for the entire
project is April 2011.
Support Service Building
The question still remains as to the final configuration and tenants of the property.
Spiritual Care Program
Hillestad noted the job description is finalized as well as the program and philosophy. The
position has been posted and applications are being received. Community clergy will be invited
to a lunch in September to update them on the status of the program.
Long Term Care Study
Oberg noted there has been no response regarding the letter that was sent from Attorney Rich
Helsper to The Lewin Group regarding the terms of the contractual agreement. Helsper will be
asked to prepare the appropriate documents to finalize the situation.
Reports
CEO Report
An update to his report, Oberg noted attendance at the all staff picnic that was held yesterday was
good, approximately 255 people enjoyed the food and nice weather. The final repair to the roof
leak and walls at Brookhaven Estates is estimated at $17,000.
CFO Report
Coffey summarized the July financials. He noted the discounts were higher than anticipated
which attributed to the corporation as a whole reporting a loss of $118,752 for the month. Coffey
pointed out that net patient/resident revenues were lower than budget ($445,848), so too were
7 of 8
salary and benefit expenses by $130,082. Total expenses for July of $3,392,645.06. Payroll and
benefit expenses (excluding MRI and YEC) for July were $1,444,567. The charity write off for
July was $35,204 with the cumulative total for the year of $149,729, compared to 2009 calendar
year’s total of $303,063. There was detailed discussion about possible causes for the corporate
loss as well as other revenue generators that have recently been implemented and others that are
on hold pending a decision on the support services building. Oberg provided a summary of
marketing efforts that are in the development phase.
