Baker called the Hospital Board of Trustee Meeting to order at 6:05 p.m. He noted there was one guest from the Brookings Chamber of Commerce. Invited Guest Susie Ryks, Chamber Director, thanked the Board for considering the resolution authorizing a local professional services preference in purchasing policy. She summarized other communities in Iowa, Montana and Wisconsin that have adopted a resolution similar to the one being proposed. Locally the City Council took action to set up a committee to evaluate, the County is also reviewing the document. Ryks was excused at 6:05 p.m. Baker informed the full Board that legal counsel for BHS indicated that there are restrictions on contract bidding; however, the Board has the flexibility to choose professional services. It was the consensus of the group to let the City Council take the lead and to have the CEO review the language of the resolution. Informational In addition to the National Healthcare Conference, two more conferences are scheduled in February. One from Avera Rural Leadership Conference and the other event is being organized by the South Dakota Independent Hospitals. Baker encouraged Board members to attend one or both of the local conferences, if their schedule permits. Baker then noted BHS’s legal council needs to review the Bylaws before they are adopted.

Reports Operational CEO Report Merkley noted since his arrival there has been two surveys conducted by the Department of Health. One survey in the nursing home resulted in six citations; all of the concerns were addressed quickly and will favorably raise the rating of the nursing home. This week the hospital was surveyed. The official report will be sent within 10 working days, but overall the visit went well. As a result of last month’s approval of the one-time PTO cash out, 43 employees, out of 77 eligible employees, took advantage of the cash out. CFO Report Coffey presented the financial summary for December 2011. The corporation made a slight profit for December. Even though volume was strong, contractual adjustments were higher, resulting in a $39,657 profit; missing the December budget by $99,990. Year-to-date figures show the organization missed the budget projections for 2011 by $70,787. Charity write-off for December was $98,083 with year-to-date deduction of $305,024. Fiscal year 2010 Charity write- off was $311,830 and in 2009 Charity write off was $284,470. Total cash disbursements for December totaled $3,753,298.35. Payroll and benefit expenses (excluding MRI and YEC) were $1,571,906.
