EDUCATION
Walsh gave a presentation on the cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program at BHS. The program
officially started in 1972 by physician Scotty Roberts. It was the first cardiac rehabilitation
program in South Dakota. The program is medically supervised and is designed to help patients
return to an active, healthy lifestyle and uses a multi-disciplinary approach that focuses on
exercise, education and behavior modification. There are four phases to the program and it is
designed for people who have or had heart and/or lung problems. Walsh also informed the group
on the other wellness and community education activities that are planned as well as other recent
programs. Walsh was excused at 6:23 p.m.
GUEST
Jack Arnold, via phone and Toby Morris from Dougherty and Company, LLC, presented the
results of the request for proposals (RFP) on the financing of the skilled nursing facility. Baker
recused himself and Wicks then chaired the discussion. The Finance Committee met on Monday
and reviewed in detail the results, as compiled by Dougherty and Company. Seven banks
received the RFP. Three banks responded to the RFP. Of the three banks, Dacotah Bank, First
Bank & Trust and Wells Fargo, Dougherty and Company then did a side-by-side comparison of
the 15 questions that were asked in the RFP. An Interest Cost Summary was shown that outlined
the true cost of the loan and the importance of converting the loan from taxable to tax-exempt
rates once there is bank qualified bonding authority in the City’s debt capacity.
Motion from the committee was made:
Based on the responses to the request for proposal from Dacotah Bank, First Bank & Trust and
Wells Fargo; and the comparisons made by Dougherty & Company, LLC, the Finance Committee
recommends going with the 15-year fixed interest rate option proposed in the First Bank & Trust
proposal. (Booher/Brown).
There was a concern about converting the primary deposit relationship as proposed within the
FB&T proposal. Currently the City determines the banking relationship and the electronic funds
2 of 8
are set up with many third-party entities/payers for payments to go directly into the account,
which is currently with Dacotah Bank. Wicks moved to amend the motion as follows:
Amended Motion:
Based on the responses to the request for proposal from Dacotah Bank, First Bank & Trust and
Wells Fargo, and the comparisons made by Dougherty & Company, LLC, the Finance Committee
recommends negotiations proceed with First Bank & Trust on the 15-year fixed interest rate
option and terms contained within the First Bank & Trust proposal (Booher/Brown).

Johnston, aye, Justin Sell, not present, Julie Whaley, aye, Zeno W. Wicks, III, aye, Walt Wosje,

REPORTS
Operational
CEO Report
Construction of the new skilled nursing facility is on schedule with very minimal change orders
thus far. An article in the Brookings Register recognizing the Home Health staff for performing
in the top 25 percent of home health services nationwide for the past nine months as surveyed by
auditing firm NRC Picker. Ninety-two percent of patients surveyed in the past nine months rated
overall care by home health at a nine or a ten on a scale of zero to ten. Merkley noted the
emergency department area is being utilized for specialty outreach clinics. In addition to CORE
Orthopedics, an ENT and Allergy clinic will be serviced there. Brookview Manor received the
results of the resident satisfaction survey. A fifty percent response rate was received and 20 out
of 21 questions saw an increase in satisfaction with 91% recommending the facility to others.
Merkley commended Jason Hanssen and his team for all the great work and results as indicated in
the survey. This data will now be reflected in the TeamShare Dashboard.

Brian Sterud. The position is now being advertised.

something is trending up or down.
