c., d. e. Lease Discussion, Financial Health, Project Management
Aimee Williams provided an update and summary of where we are currently at for the
new members and new representatives on the Board. At this time the cost per square
foot for the lease agreement is approximately $1.16 per sq. ft. The goal is to start
conversations to increase lease payments to subsequently increase the R&R Funds
to cover all the costs of anticipated projects and envelope maintenance. There was
discussion among the Board that there should be inclusion or consideration for
aligning funding accounting, building envelope items, mission creep, in-kind
replacement contributions, annual increase considerations, and designation of who
should manage the projects.
The Board reviewed the misunderstanding of how funding approvals have been
interpreted. Every step of the approval process should be balanced — no remaining
funds to be rolled into next step. Remaining funds are released back into R&R fund
and the next step needs to be approved separately.
The Board discussed the difference between operational projects and capital projects
and the process for requesting reimbursements.

The Board discussed the possibility of PKIMC purchasing the building, however that
is not feasible at this time.
There was a brief discussion regarding the Long -Term Care Facility Lease. There
needs to be an addendum to the current lease to designate the held funds to be used
for R&R needs for that building and it needs to be kept separate from the main
hospital R&R funds.
BOARD MEMBERS COMMENTS
Scott Smiley — The Assembly was collectively upset that PKIMC does not seem to be
using local contractors for work at the hospital. Tyler responded that PKIMC attempts to
when the contractors schedule will allow them to respond to an emergency.
Aimee Williams — Travel caused the last item to reach the dollar amount threshold to
have to go to the Assembly.
Dave Johnson — Thank you for your patience with me as I start to learn about all of this.
Codi Allen — We can add to the lease a stipulation for local preference or KIB term
contractors for different trade disciplines. Codi and Tyler will talk off-line about insurance
requirements needed. Thank you for looking into the future.
