Walter Moyle, RE: Extended Care Unit at Hospital - Mr. Moyle is from the Office of Comprehensive Health Planning in Juneau. Mr. Moyle stated that the application has been presented, requesting $150,000 Federal Hill Burton funds, in addition to that, there would be $327,500.00 of other State funds and $119,281.00 local funds; totaling $596,781.00. The project was set up for 22 long term care beds. This amount, Mr. Moyle stated is not sufficient. He further stated that the State Legislature has brought about a 10 million dollar bond issue, to be voted on this fall for medical purposes. One million dollars of these monies has been allocated for Kodlak's extended care unit. Mr. Moyle stated that since we will not know if this money will be available at this time. the question Is now, does the Borough want to proceed with the planning of this project or wait until after the general elections for the outcome of the bond issue. Mr. Moyle further stated that if the Borough moved now to approved the preliminary planning of an extended care unit, possible ..construction could begin next spring. Mr. Nelson asked what the cost would be now to build the proposed-extended care unit. Mr. Moyle stated based on other construction, that it would look like $70,000.00 a bed. For our proposed unit, would be one and half million dollars. The preliminary work of an architect on the extended care unit done at this time would amount to 15% of his total fee. Mr. Brechan stated that in the event that.41. bond issue does not pass, this would be money spent on the project. 14 Schematic plans have been drawn up by the Careage Corporation on Kodiak's extended care unit. Mr. Moyle stated that the question to the Assembly at this point, is do they feel that we need an extended care unit? Mrs. Springhiit stated that there is really no comparison between an extended care unit and an acute bed hospital. The reason why they proposed to put it in connection with the hospital, is that you could use the central heating, inter - personnel. use the same kitchen facilities, etc. Mr. Moyle noted that State Revenue Sharing is based on the number of beds located in the hospital.
