David Conrad introduced Corey Wall from Jensen Yorba Wall and David Frum from
DLR Group. Corey and David both summarized the project, what they expect to
accomplish, and what roles they are playing in the study. The end goal of the study is to
have a concept and cost estimate for a three- or four-story addition, have a road map for
the future and current maintenance items on the current building. Their estimate is to
have the study completed by the end of October 2023.
B. MRI Module
_ David Conrad summarized the situation. The new module is on its way and discussing
best placement, there will be exterior upgrades to help transport patients to and from the
module, the existing module has been moved. Karl Hurtz added the current MRI Module
is ageing out and the changes are going to be positive all around. Easier access to the
MRI with a larger unit to allow more patients be seen.

C. Air I Iandling Unit
David Conrad reviewed the topic. Everything in the building is aging out and the
intersection of all the items needs to be thought about and approached as cost effectively
as possible. Karl Hurtz announced that they fixed all the fire and smoke dampers and
that helped to increase airflow. The biggest decision on the whole building is when and
how to spend money. All systems are interconnected and any failures cascade into each
other. Tyler Steele announced they are still waiting on cost estimates for other systems
fan wall and chiller, and they asked for a time waver from the Joint Commission.
D. Sterilizers
Karl Hurtz announced that they are planning to purchase a secondary sterilizer unit.
Sterilizers were overhauled four years ago, but the are operating on one currently that the
Kodiak Island Borough purchased last year. They need another to be more efficient and
to make sure that the surgery department can continue to provide services. Tyler Steele
provided a history of issues and suggested that they purchase a new steam generator
(quote for $16,000 from Cole Industrial), obtain quotes for the Sterilizer unit itself, and
possibly look at a remodeling the department.
4. COMMITTEE MEMBERS COMMENTS
Jared Griffin — Alaska's cost of living is one of the highest in the country. Kodiak is
highest in medical costs in the U.S. It is important that we keep costs down for the
community.
Aimee Williams Thank you for the neon sign with the issues that are coming up. This
helps focus our attention on what needs to be done.
David Conrad — Super important that we have this group. Communication and
collaboration to keep our realistic views is very important. This study we are doing is
very important for us to plan for the future. PKIMC and other health care providers,
thank you for your cooperation and participation.
5. VISITOR COMMENTS — none.
