Reading and Information: Board members received for information and reading,
minutes from Executive Committee, Medical Staff, and Quality Council

Brookview Manor Residents/Families; Correspondence from the City
Utilities on Water and Sewer Main Changes for Congregate Living.
Inpatient/Outpatient Satisfaction survey results were reviewed.
Comments: Tom Bezdichek noted our publishing of minutes was not like other
city boards in that we did not publish motions, etc. He added that the
city council would be looking at this in the near future; he expected
them to forward us a request to publish in a manner that is consistent
with other city Boards. Tom also asked if the Board would consider
donating money to the school district for East Central Multi District.
He stated that when we purchased the land for congregate housing we would
not be paying taxes on this property so the school district would be
short money and estimated the money to be $148,848 annually.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 p.m.
