Unfinished Business
Construction Update
Steve Larson and Chris Larson from NEXT, Inc. provided an update on the new construction and
remodeling project in the Emergency Department and Laboratory areas of the hospital. Steve
Larson noted the total project was bid at $4.3 million. The amount included all construction
costs, fees and equipment. The bid was one million below what was originally estimated. Larson
indicated as the project finishes there should be minimal unforeseen conditions. He noted early
on in the project there were many unexpected finds underground, which is typical in a project
such as this. Larson stated that the main contractor, Mills and architect HGA, have been great to
work with. Mills has done an excellent job doing the constructing and remodeling as well as
HGA with their design of the two areas. Larson noted as the project nears its completion there
should be no surprises regarding additional dollars being owed. Although the project will finish
over the original projected date, the new date of April 1, 2011 should be met. Steve and Chris
Larson were excused at 7:31 p.m.

Nursing Home
There was discussion on the square footage of the existing land and how much physical space
would be needed if a new facility is built. Coffey noted there is approximately 200,000 square
feet of land south and east of the hospital. Current square footage of the existing nursing home is
90,000 square feet. It is anticipated a new structure, depending on number of beds, would require
double the existing square feet of the current nursing home.
