Selection of Broker for Employee Insurances
A motion was made by Heidi Bell and seconded by Linda Chastain to continue with current broker for one more year and next year the Board will look at all options. Motion carried.
Organizational Chart
The Board received a copy of the new organizational chart. QA, Risk Management, and Utilization Review/Social Services, and Discharge Planning reporting to the Director of Nursing was the only change that was made. It was moved by Linda Chastain and seconded by Heidi Bell to approve the organizational chart as presented. Motion carried.
Immunoassay Analyzer
The Board received three different pricing quotes. The Johnson & Johnson analyzer is the lower bid and was recommended to the Board.
A motion was made by Leon Kessel and seconded by Sherry Untiedt to approve the purchase of the Johnson & Johnson ECiQ immunoassay analyzer in the amount of $138,205.90. Motion carried.
Furnishings for the Patio
At last month’s Board meeting, we created a budget for the patio addition to the cafeteria in order to move that process along, the budget was $15,000. Unfortunately, the bid for the concrete work came in slightly over $13,700. This created the need to return to the Board for the approval to acquire the actual furnishings. The low bidder is Yutzy’s Greenhouse for a total of $5,478.00. The grant for this project was for $25,000 so this still allows us to complete this project without getting outside of the donated amount. A motion was made by Linda Chastain and seconded by Heidi Bell to approve the acquisition of furnishings for the patio in the amount of $5478.00. Motion carried.
Surgical Equipment
Carol Hanthorn, Surgery Director, distributed information to the board asking for surgical power equipment at the request of Podiatrist, Dr. Frerichs. It was moved by Heidi Bell and seconded by Linda Chastain to approve the Stryker quote for $29,570.74. Motion carried.
