concerns. She said that when developing a Master Plan, the

in healthcare - changes in care and needs of the community. In

The Chair thanked Mr. Hyer, Ms. Kowalczewski and Mr. Rountree
for their presentation.
Don Prochaska began his presentation and introduced his
associate, Steve Riley. A presentation handout was passed to
the Board. Mr. Prochaska began by telling the Board that his
firm is a member of NOVATION a kind of "Cost Savers for
Hospi tals" . This membership provides tools and resources to
healthcare planners that are invaluable. Mr. prochaska and Mr.
Riley began a slide presentation showing various healthcare
facilities throughout the lower 48 and Alaska where they had
done work. A diagram of the process for developing a Master
Plan was shown and discussed.
Both Mr. prochaska and Mr. Riley Stressed two important points:
the first is that prochaska & Associates worked on the new wing
of PKIMC a number of years ago, so they are intimately familiar
with the location, the space and the needs of the staff and
patients. Secondly, the firm is a "single source" firm. Within
prochaska & Associates are qualified personnel representing all
areas of skills and expertise to cover the requirements of the
Proj ect. This kind of an operation allows for more
accountability, availability and clear communications between
the firm and the owner.

After the departure of the gentlemen, the Chair opened the
meeting to discussion.
The general consensus of the Board was that prochaska &
Associates would be the better choice based on the fact that
their core business is hospitals and they have in house
capabilities architects, engineers and interior decorators.
The Board felt that ECI/Hyer was certainly capable, but given
Prochaska & Associate's prior history with the Hospital, which
was a successful project, and in conjunction with their being a
"one stop shopping" firm, they would be the better choice. A
voice vote was called for. The vote to recommend to the Kodiak
Island Borough Assembly the architectural firm of Prochaska &
Associates to create a Master Plan for PKIMC passed 5 to 1.
B. Cassidy spoke briefly about the next steps in the process,
financial negotiations and the development of the Master Plan.
There being no further business before the Board, the meeting
was adjourned at 10:15pm.
