Financial Report
Due to the deed exchange of the CHCSI building, year end financials for DCH appear to be adverse. Tara Spidle presented the preliminary unaudited year end financials for the month of June. The operating revenue for June was $724,813.48 with operating expenses totaling $744,232.67. Non operating revenue was ($814,679.31) due to recognition of the disposal of the CHCSI building that had only depreciated 40% of its original book value. Net income for the month was (834,098.50). Year to date net income was at ($218,333.29).  It was moved by Tom Thomas and seconded by Sherry Untiedt to approve the financials subject to additional contractual entry if recommended by Seim Johnson, auditors. Motion carried.
Tara reported next year there would be a request to move the meeting to the fifth Monday of the month due to yearend and the need for more expenses to be recorded in the appropriate fiscal year.
A motion was made by Gwen Simpson and seconded by Sherry Untied to add BTC Bank as an authorized depositor. Motion carried.
VII. MERCY REPORT
Sam Ayres gave the Mercy Report.
VIII. ACTION ITEMS
Proximity Cabinets / Cordless Scanners
The laptops have already been acquired and received because the availability of these was very time critical. We had attempted to make this decision and order these laptops in months prior, but the supplier sold out before we could get out approvals in place. The total cost for the laptop computers was $7,040.52. What is needed not are scanners to scan patient ID’s in and drugs to go in our CPSI system and a system to again store these. The board received quotes.  The total amount is $29,258.68.
A motion was made by Linda Chastain and seconded by Leon Kessel to approve the acquisition of the bar scanners and proximity cabinet system in the amount of $29,258.68. Motion carried.
IX. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 5:58 p.m.
