Assembly Chambers after presentation of the Hospital Master Plan
alternatives by Jonathan Rigdon of Mills, John & Rigdon° Members
present included: Wayne Coleman, Chairman; Chuck Winegardenv Bill
Beaty, John Witteveen, Art Bors, Donnell Rounsaville' and Robin
Heinrichs° Others present included Jonathan Rigdon, and Ray
Camarde]la, Facility Coordinator.
A general discussion of the two alternatives regarding the
Hospital Master Plan occurred with the following comments made:
^~ A remodeled and expanded facility would have greater O & M
costs than a new facility.
^~ Providing quality health care with the complicated phasing
required to renovate would be difficult to accomplish.
~ Site constraints were viewed as an extreme negative factor
since future expansion beyond what is proposed would be costly if
not impossible.
- The low cost differential between the two schemes could be
reduced further when considering the reduction in revenue that
would occur during remodel as well as higher O & M costs and the
value of the existing building and site were taken into
consideration.
Bill Beaty motioned that the Architectural Review Board recommend
the Assembly strongly consider new construction in lieu of
renovation and expansion of the existing facility" Seconded by
John Witteveen and passed by unanimous vote.
