Rob Jones, Chairman, called the Board meeting to order at 5:35 p.m. The Brookings Economic
Development Corporation Board of Directors was invited to talk about partnership efforts and
expectations and ways to collaborate. There was a 30 minute tour of the hospital provided to those in
attendance. During the meal Coffey and Hillestad presented to the members of the BEDC highlights of
what has been happening at Brookings Health System the past 24 months. Coffey talked about the
support that Brookings Health System has given to the community either through partnering to help bring
physicians to the community or to provide new or increased services such as orthopedics. Hillestad spoke
to the various outreach services that are provided by Arlington Medical Center, Home Health, Hospice
and Hearth. There was mention of the technology that is in place at BHS such as the electronic medical
record (EMR) and another upgrade will take place in June. Coffey then summarized the total donations,
charity, and bad debt for the past three years. Lastly 75% of the over 400 employees employed at BHS
resides within Brookings County. Fishback asked what BEDC can do for BHS. Heuton expressed his
appreciation for the support that has given by BHS to BEDC and in the future they will put health care on
their agenda. Jones noted in 2003-2004 there was discussion as to whether the Health System should sell,
be managed or remain independent. The Board felt at that time what is best for the community is to
remain independent and the Board still feels that way today. Bender commented that the hospital needs to
get the message out to the community of the great things that are happening at the Health System. Otsuga
commented that the new software the BEDC recently purchased could assist the Health System to become
more strategic in their marketing efforts. It was agreed by all that tonight’s meeting was informative and
would like to meet more frequently to keep the lines of communication open.
At 7:42 p.m. the BEDC Board Members were excused. There was a 10 minute break and Jones called the
regular Board meeting to order at 7:53 p.m.

Board
Finance Committee:
Booher presented the Finance Committee report. The committee met on March 17, 2011. The committee
brought forth two recommendations which are addressed under New Business and Unfinished Business.
Q/I Personnel Committee:
The QI/Personnel Committee met on March 15, 2011 to review the fourth quarter data for Infection
Control along with other quality updates. There were no action items.
Strategic Planning Committee:
The Strategic Planning Committee met on March 15 and March 23, 2011. The group had received
several days prior to the meeting proposals from 7 firms who expressed an interest in providing
architectural/engineering services for the nursing home. The members, again prior to meeting,
individually ranked the proposals. References were also conducted by NEXT, Inc. and presented to the
committee. The cumulative outcome from the group ranged from most preferred 1.5 to least preferred
6.8. The top three firms were contacted and interviewed by the Strategic Planning Committee on March
23, 2011. The committee then narrowed the top three firms to one firm. The firm of choice was Horty
Elving. Because of the community’s political environment, the two local firms, who previously
submitted a proposal (Banner Associates and DesignArc), will be asked, along with the top ranked
candidate, Horty Elving, to present their proposals to the entire Board at a date within the next two weeks.
Executive Committee:

New Business
2011 BHS Foundation Budget
A motion was brought forth from the Finance Committee (Wicks/Booher) to recommend approval of the
2011 BHS Foundation Budget. Baker questioned Wicks if the Finance Committee was satisfied with the
Foundation’s long term plan. Wicks noted expectations were set. There was unanimous approval of the
motion. This motion was later rescinded by Wicks, seconded by Whaley, expressing the need to obtain
further detail regarding contractual services and to relook at the proposed budget at the next scheduled
Board Meeting.
Unfinished Business
Construction Update
Coffey noted the new water line needed to be used in March when the City’s main water line burst on
22nd Avenue. The City opened the valve on the new waterline that BHS installed in October located on
the north side of the building and was able to maintain water flow to the facility. The dollars spent on the
redundant water line was well spent. New internal signage is being put in place throughout the
organization.
Project Delivery Systems
A sub-committee composed of Jones, Faltemier and McKnight was tasked with evaluating the four
project delivery systems to determine and recommend to the full Board which system is the best fit for the
nursing home project. The sub-committee’s recommendation to go with option two, Construction
Manager (Not at Risk) delivery system, which is similar to what was done with the ED/Lab Project. A
motion by Whaley to accept the sub-committee’s recommendation to choose the Project Delivery System
– Construction Manager (Not at Risk). Wicks seconded the motion. The motion was approved by all
Board members present.
Jones noted there were several firms that have indicated an interest in interviewing for the construction
manager on the nursing home project (Mills Construction, NEXT, Inc., Waltz Construction). A motion
by Baker to limit the number of construction managers (CM) interviewed to three. McKnight seconded
the motion. It was suggested that Phil Wagner write the criteria for questions the three interview
candidates need to respond to. There was lengthy discussion as to whether a CM is needed and if so,
when do you bring the CM on the project. A motion by Wicks to hire the CM first and then the architect.
Whaley seconded the motion. There were pros and cons discussed. Wicks removed his motion. The
original motion was voted on and approved unanimously by all Board members present. A full Board
meeting will be scheduled in the near future to interview the three candidates.
Due to the amount of business items, a motion by Whaley for the Board to meet two times a month in
April, May and possibly June. Faltemier seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Davis will
follow up with the new dates.
Nursing Home A/E Request for Proposals
Discussed under Strategic Planning Committee

Baker, along with two other Board members (to be determined) agreed to take the lead and research the
options regarding the CEO Search. Whaley asked that all options be considered. Baker indicated he
would design the process and bring back to the full Board. A motion by Wicks to give Baker the
authority to design the process and bring back to the full Board. Faltemier seconded the motion. Whaley
amended the motion to include Baker be open minded and look outside the box. She withdrew her
motion. The main motion was voted on and approved by all Board members in attendance.
