Joint Meeting Between
Brookings Health System Board of Trustees
And City Council
September 23, 2010
Board of Trustee Members:
Chair Rob Jones, Vice Chair Al Baker, Secretary Sandra Faltemier, Jim Booher, Debra Johnston,
MD, Teresa McKnight, Ruth Schroeder, Julie Whaley and Zeno Wicks, III
City Councilors:
Mayor Tim Reed, Deputy Mayor Mike Bartley, Tom Bezdichek, Keith Corbett, John
Kubal, Mike McClemans, Jael Trieb and City Manager Jeff Weldon
Guests:
Steve Britzman, City Attorney, Rich Helsper, Hospital Attorney, Roger Oberg, CEO, Kevin
Coffey, CFO, Tammy Hillestad, CNO, Brenda Johnson, DON Brookview Manor, Linda Minor,
V.P. of Professional Services, Kandace Hartneck, BHS Foundation Development Officer and Deb
Davis, recorder
Rob Jones, Chairman called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. The group was taken on a tour of
the new areas of the ED and Lab. Mayor Reed expressed appreciation of everyone’s hard work
on the project. He noted a good emergency department is important to have in the community.
Jones noted the focus of the meeting was to clarify three items that were mentioned at the past
July City Council meeting. Bonding, purchase of land and surplus property. Helsper was present
to clarify the intent of whether or not the hospital has the right to bond. Helsper noted state law
overrides the city. In 1996 Helsper drafted the original charter. The home rule section (Article
VI, Section 6.01 a and 6.01 b) was created to place Brookings Municipal Utilities (BMU) and
Brookings Hospital (BHS) free from political influence. This Article was approved by the voters
by a wide margin in 1996. Both BMU and BHS have their own Boards. BHS Board members
are appointed by the Mayor and County. The city does not manage or control either entity nor
does the city have financial responsibility for debt incurred. As part of the operations of the
hospital, BHS Board has the authority to purchase land and borrow money. Issuance of bonds
would require city approval. Helsper’s opinion to make a change in the charter would need to go
to a public vote, otherwise the charter is violated. Britzman disagreed with Helsper’s
interpretation. Jones stated that BHS follows the state statute for surplus sale items. He asked
Bartley, who inquired at the July meeting, if there were particular concerns. Bartley indicated
there was nothing in particular. He noted the public wants to know what is going on in the
community.
Reports
CEO:
The construction project is moving toward an April 1, 2011 conclusion and remains on budget of
$4.3 million. Other areas of the hospital will receive new flooring. Front lobby, surgical waiting,
therapy areas and the cafeteria. Continue to work on the RFP for the sprinkler system in the
nursing home. The legal documents for the joint venture with Avera on durable medical
2 of 6
equipment (DME) are being finalized. A location to house the DME remains to be identified.
This joint venture will be 50/50. The other two joint ventures are 51(BHS)/49(Avera). Other
new revenue streams include outreach clinic by Orthopaedic Consultants and Arlington Medical
Center (AMC).
CFO Report
Coffey summarized the August financials. He noted the hospital in August saw a profit of
$204,324. However, year-to-date stands at a loss of $5,237. The corporate profit for August is
$249,564 bringing the year-to-date profit to $522,407. Coffey noted as part of the Rural
Demonstration Program, Eide Bailly will conduct an interim cost report to review if allotment of
additional Medicare dollars is appropriate. If so, it could enhance the bottom line by up to
$300,000. Total expenses for August of $8,392,548.54 ($5.5M was placed into long term
investments). Payroll and benefit expenses (excluding MRI and YEC) for August $1,032,719.63.
The charity write off for August was $7,955 with the cumulative total for the year of $157,684,
compared to 2009 calendar year’s audited total of $284,470.
CNO Report
Hillestad noted a new diagnostic cardiovascular study called an Echo Bubble test is now currently
being offered in-house. An education session was provided to the Brookhaven tenants on
emergency services. Eight ambulance personnel attended an Emergency Vehicle Operations
Course.
Brookview Manor
Johnson noted preparation continues for the transition of Minimum Data Set (MDS) 2.0 to MDS
3.0. The MDS drives the entire care planning and reimbursement system. A new communication
tool, VOCERA, is being implemented throughout the organization. This new means of
communication will be less taxing for the residents. The residents are having a Hot Stuff pizza
fundraiser. Funds will go toward the resident’s activity fund. Orders can be taken by contacting
the receptionist’s desk.
Foundation
Hartneck informed the group that notification was received granting BHS Foundation 501(c)(3)
status. She was happy to report that the special fund raiser to minimize childhood obesity met its
goal of $10,000 and cleared $10,033.73. The funds will be used to help families who cannot
afford dietetic consultation. Several other grants have been submitted and are awaiting funding
decisions.
Mayor Reed inquired about the future of the nursing home. He noted City Council needs to be
kept abreast of what plans the hospital is pursuing. He suggested BHS look at all options and
bring forth to the City Council a list of the top recommendations with justification/data to back
the recommendations. The community should be involved with the decision. Johnston inquired
if the City would help with funding a nursing home. Reed indicated no. It was agreed by all a
decision regarding the nursing home needs to be made soon.
Jones thanked the City Councilors for attending. The joint Board of Trustee and City Council
meeting concluded at 7:55 p.m.

Campus Master Planning – BVM “Options”
As follow-up discussion from the Joint City Council/Board of Trustee meeting, there was a
proposal to hire Phil Wagner to assist in the recommendation to the City of what is the best
direction to take for the nursing home. Jones and Wicks felt Wagner is a qualified individual that
could assist the Board in determining the best solution for the nursing home. A motion by
Whaley to hire Wagner to provide nursing home options and estimates, before the end of the year.
The findings/recommendations would be presented by the Board to the City Council at a January
2011 City Council meeting. Wicks seconded the motion. McKnight amended the motion to
include establishing criteria and guidelines for Wagner in evaluating the options and decide the
recommendations by the end of 2010. Whaley and Wicks agreed to the amendment. It was
agreed Finance Committee would meet to develop a contract to employ Wagner as well as
establish guidelines and timelines for Wagner to follow. Motion carried.
