B. Review of Proposed Extended Care Unit, Kodiak Island Borough Hospital.
Rev. Johnson, Vice - (Maintain of the Comprehensive Health Board gave a
resume of the investigation made concerning the need for such a unit.
The research has shown that there is a need for such a facility, at
present there are approrvnately ten individuals that would enter the
facility and several others being treated through ANS either here or
in Anchorage that would also use the extended care unit. The cost
estimates have varied with a low estimate of $215,000 and a high of
$830,000. It is assumed that it will be possible to receive a grant
under Hill - Burton, an application will have to be made and see if
funding if available. The application world be made on the basis
of 22 beds, 21 regular and 1 intensive care bed. It is anticipated
that incase will be between 800 - 900 dollars per month; and possible
that sane of the inane may be set aside for helping to retire the
debt fled. This portion could be placed in the contract agreement.

The Clerk noted that the overall anticipated income would be
in the area of $18,000 per month; spending $6,200 for staffing
and approximately $9,000 to rover all additional costs. It is
anticipated that approximately $120,000 would care from local
support and the remainder from revenue sharing under the Hill-
Burton Progzmn.
Dennis Kouloff of the Careage Corporation, a development company,
presented the proposed design of the extended care unit and noting
changes which had been made during meetings with the hospital and
the Comprehensive Health Board. These changes will also add to
the efficiency of the hospital's overall operation.
In order to make application for the Hill -Berton Grant, plans
have no be submitted and costs have to be strewn. It is anticipated
that the cost will be based on a figure of $467,601 which will
include any change orders.
The Borough Chairman raised the question as to whetter or not the
Borough can negotiate this type of construction without going to
public bid. It was thought that this would have to be verified
with the lawyer before proceeding into construction stage.
The cost does not include $2500 for drawing up the plans that we
have to submit with the application for the grant. The plans and
estimate of cost rust be submitted along with the application.
Mr. Sims moved that we go ahead with the application for Hill- Burton
finding, seconded by Mr. Clowes.
The Borough Chai+nan asked that the Comprehensive Health Committee
study the possibility of funding and retirerent of the debt service
from the profits rather than from shared revenue.
The question was called for and the motion passed by unanimous roll
call vote.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 1:10 P.M.
