Committee Reports
Joint Conference Committee – Did not meet.
Strategic Planning Committee – Committee revisited the Mission Statement and brought forth another version
for the board members to consider. (See Unfinished Business – BHS Mission Discussion for further discussion.)
Finance Committee – The Finance Committee reviewed with minor suggestions the Brookhaven Estates Lease
Agreement. The committee also discussed ways to streamline the financial data that is in the board packet. Rather
than provide a lot of financial detail, more concise one-page statistical summaries will be looked at. The group also
recommended to the full board to absorb the entire cost of the health insurance increase for the 2006-2007 year.
(See New Business – Insurance and Brookhaven Contract for motions.)
QI/Personnel Committee – Did not meet.
Executive Committee – Committee talked about ways to streamline the information in the board packet. Future
thoughts were to move to a web based product to view materials on-line instead of the current paper method.
Unfinished Business
Executive Session. At 8:07 p.m. a motion by Blazey, seconded by Wicks to move the meeting into executive
session SDCL: 1-25-2.4. The board exited executive session at 8:40 p.m. A motion was made by Evers seconded
by Blazey to leave the sick leave policy the way it currently is stated. The vote was narrowly defeated with Blazey
and Evers voting in favor of the motion; Jones Wicks and Corbett voted against the motion. The QI/Personnel
Committee will review and bring a recommendation back to the board.
BHS Mission Discussion. Didem Koroglu, Marketing Director, provided a background of the evolving
mission statement and the importance of the mission statement to define and drive our branding. The Executive
Committee recommended to the board members that the following statement be adopted: “Brookings Health
4 of 6
System provides customer-driven excellence”. After discussion a motion by Corbett to approve the following
statement “Brookings Health System: Providing customer-driven excellence”. Wicks seconded the motion. Motion
carried.
New Business
Insurance
The members reviewed the Life and Health Insurance figures for the 2006-2007 year. A motion to have the Board
absorb the entire health insurance rate increase of $537.24 for the 2006-2007 year (as opposed to it being split
50/50) was made by Jones, seconded by Wicks. Motion carried.
Brookhaven Contract
Proposed changes from the Finance Committee were brought forth. The committee recommended deleting the
following statements item 2, 7th bullet “Carpet and vinyl floor covering in apartment (replacement when needed by
BH/BVM)”; item 3 “month to month” and add to item 6 “Tenant may request an independent review to determine if
he or she is able to live independently.” A motion was made by Blazey to accept the Finance Committees
suggestions but to also add in item 2 “State of the art security system.” Wicks seconded the motion. The motion
carried as amended.
Name Change
To ensure the correct legal name is used on critical documents, such as insurance, clarification was requested from
Rich Helsper regarding the hospital’s legal name. The legal name is Brookings Hospital (along with Brookview
Manor and Brookhaven Estates). More recently Brookings Health System is the name of choice. Legal council
recommended that we file for a trademark for Brookings Health System. Jones made a motion to accept legal
council’s recommendation to trademark Brookings Health System, Corbett seconded the motion. Motion carried.
