participation from staff. The mock disaster was a charter bus crash with 30 victims which were

handle a disaster if it were to happen in Brookings. Merkley also noted the Mental/Behavioral Health
discussion held at the City Council Study Session went very well and was a good exchange of

STRATEGIC DISCUSSION
Strategic Plan – Finance Pillar
Lindemann presented an overview of the Finance Pillar which states “We will achieve profitability and
strengthen the financial positon of Brookings Health System”. The five objectives were reviewed along
with corresponding key accomplishments, as well as current results and recommendations.
After discussion, a recommendation was made to redefine the pillar as Brookings Health System has
achieved profitability over the last 5 years and is in a good financial position. It was suggested to
remove Excess Margin and replace with Debt Service Coverage at a rate of 2.5% and an investment
rate of return of 2%. The Operating Margin, Days Cash on Hand, Current Ratio and Net Days in AR will
remain the same.
Board members were in agreement with the recommendations and the updated Finance Pillar shall
reflect the same for 2016 – 2018.
The remaining pillars will be covered in upcoming board meetings.
