CURRENT BUSINESS

Mexican Water Chapter President/David Yanito - Mexican Water Chapter President David Yanito met with the Commission and presented a resolution for the Mexican Water Chapter road priorities. Those road projects have been delayed because the BIA has not completed the archaeological clearance needed to receive permission to use the white shale in the area. Mr. Yanito requested that the County go ahead and use the shale pit near Richard Yanito's and the Mexican Water Chapter would take responsibility for any problems that may arise. David Yanito has the grazing permits in the area and has given his permission to use the permit.

Harts Draw Road/Crowley Construction Payment - A motion to approve the payment of $49,563.90 to Crowley Construction for work on the Harts Draw Road was made by Commissioner Bailey and seconded by Commissioner Maryboy. UNANIMOUS.

San Juan County Personnel Policy - The Commission reviewed the San Juan County Personnel Policy, making the needed changes to update the policy. A motion to approve the policy as amended was made by Conmissioner Bailey and seconded by Commissioner Maryboy. UNANIMOUS.

Montezuma Creek Police Station Remodeling Bid - The only bid on the Montezuma Creek Police Station remodeling was received from Tri-Hurst Construction for $112,932. This bid exceeded the budgeted amount of $60,000, however the Commission felt that adjustments could be made in some other areas and that the bid should be awarded. A motion was made by Commissioner Maryboy and seconded by Commissioner Bailey to approve the bid from Tri-Hurst Construction pending approval from the Community Impact Board. UNANIMOUS.

Crew-Cab Pickup/Surveyor' s Office - One bid was received for the purchase of a one-ton crew-cab and chassis from Mike Young, Inc. for $17,375 for the surveyor's office. A motion to accept the bid was made by Commissioner Bailey and seconded by Commissioner Maryboy. UNANIMOUS.

Cherokee Jeep Bid/Sheriff's Department - A bid of $17,400 each was received from Mike Young, Inc. for the purchase of two Jeep Cherokees for the sheriff's department. The Commission deferred action on the purchase until such time as the tax initiative issue is decided. If at that time the funding is available, the bid will be accepted and the two Jeep Cherokees ordered. There will be no rebidding process for the jeeps. Mr. Young said that if a rebate becomes available they will allow it.

Beer License/Sand Island Trading Post - An application for a beer license for R.D. Price dba the Sand Island Trading Post was approved and signed upon completion of the application The motion was made by Commissioner Maryboy and seconded by Commissioner Bailey. UNANIMOUS.

Monticello City Mayor Sonderegger/Impact Board Request - Monticello City Mayor Ernest Sonderegger expressed appreciation to Commissioners Black and Bailey for their efforts and help in obtaining the grant and loan for Monticello City from the Community Impact Board for the proposed tannery project.

San Juan County Health Care Audit - Hospital Administrator John Fellmeth met with the Commission to comment on the 1987 San Juan County Health Care Audit. Mr. Fellmeth was unable to attend the meeting where the audit was reported and felt that certain points ought to be recorded that may not have been clarified in the last commission meeting. Mr. Fellmeth felt that the account in the paper was erroneous in that it stated that the audit for San Juan County was sound in 1987 with the exception of the health care. The article pointed out an operating loss of over $400,000 and accounts receivable balance of $734,000 plus bad debts which were excessively high. Mr. Fellmeth is not denying that in 1988 the hospital has had considerable financial difficulty but in 1987 there was considerable progress made in several areas. In regards to the accounts receivable balance of $734,00, Mr. Fellmeth felt that Mr. Stagg misunderstood what was happening in the hospital as well as a misstatement in the audit report. When Dr. Redd left, the health care staff agreed to collect his accounts receivable for him even though they were not formally purchased. In exchange for him leaving his medical records the hospital agreed to collect the accounts receivable for five months, which would be through the end of 1987. Then every month they would send him a check for the amount that came in on the accounts. Rather than set up a new account and set of books to handle these accounts they were just run through the hospital books and accounts. At the end of 1987 the total amount of Dr. Redd's accounts receivable that was still on the hospital books was over $100,000. This was explained to the auditors but apparently the decision was made to leave those on the hospital books. Shortly after the first of the year, these accounts were returned to Dr. Redd. The hospital's actual gross accounts receivable declined $20,000 and the net accounts receivable declined $15,000 during 1987. Even with that decline the accounts receivable were higher but the numbers given by Mr. Stagg and the general concept given to the Commissioners that the hospital was running out of control with their accounts receivable and collection was not the case. Mr. Fellmeth and the Commission agreed that the accounts receivable are excessively high. The Commission also felt that Mr. Fellmeth should draft a letter to Mr. Stagg outlining Dr. Redd's accounts receivable. The point that Mr. Fellmeth wanted brought out was that the hospital was making significant strides in the right direction in 1987. However, during 1988 things have deteriorated significantly, due to problems already discussed. The reported book loss during 1987 was $400,000 and the hospital asked for $100,000 of operating money from the County. The difference reflects the fact that money was being collected faster than being billed and the hospital was staying ahead cash wise. Mr. Fellmeth also reported that $65,000 was spent on physician recruitment during 1987 and also lost $65,000 to $70,000 on the operation of the Blanding Clinic during six months of 1987. Some basis in fact was made for the recommendations issued in the management letter.

Hospital Policy/R.N.Status - Hospital Administrator John Fellmeth reported to the Commission that one of the graduate nurses who has taken the additional training required to obtain her R.N. degree did not pass the state board exams. When she completed her training a special dispensation was given to her to act as a registered nurse with the back up of another registered nurse on call until such time as she had passed her state boards. The graduate nurse has been paid an entry level registered nurses salary since she returned to the hospital but since she did not pass the exams she cannot continue acting as a registered nurse and can only act as an LPN therefore, her wages will have to be returned to that of an LPN. She has requested additional compensation for the additional training she has received above the normal LPN

salary. The Commission felt that there ought to be some level of pay more than an LPN but less than an RN for that person as long as they are in that position. The consensus was that she should be paid according to her previous LPN salary until the matter can be decided at the next Hospital Board meeting at which time an adjustment can be made.

LHS Management Company - Tom Mingen, president of the LHS Management Company, met with the Commission to discuss the contract for the management of the San Juan County Hospital. Mr. Mingen reviewed his background and the background of the LHS Management Company, a subsidiary of Lutheran Health Systems in Fargo, North Dakota. The Management company operates in nine different states with 23 different hospital contracts as well as a number of consulting job they do throughout the West. The management company has dedicated themselves only to concentrate on rural health care facilities. They do not go into facilities with over 100 total beds. The board of directors of the company is made up of active board member of facilities managed by the company, thereby the management company really is working for the facilities they are contracting with. Basically, the major points they try to emphasize is (1) flexible management by presenting the options, what will happen and their recommendations but the final decision will be from the local board. (2) They believe that professional management is important to the success of any operation. (3) They also believe in a lot of organization. A plan of operation is presented and reviewed with the board of directors. All of the recommendations do not need to be bought but everyone including the medical staff, the employees and the community need to understand how the goals need to be accomplished. Two requirements are placed upon Mr. Mingen by his board of directors before a management contract can be signed. (1) He has to assure them that the management company can help San Juan County Health Care, and (2) that they can add value to the operation. Mr. Mingen indicated that if an agreement is reached today that an interim administrator will be at the hospital by next Tuesday. He would also consider those applicants already interested in being a permanent administrator of the health care facilities. Commissioner Black indicated that the County was in the preliminary stages of creating a health service district and Mr. Mingen said they have worked with this type of situation in other facilities. The Management Companies philosophy on rural health care management is that the less dependence on government the better regardless of which direction the County goes.

The contract was reviewed and changes suggested by the Commission. Mr. Mingen indicated that he would have no problem with the suggested changes and will call the changes into the management company and a corrected copy of the contract will be presented at the next commission meeting for signing. The Commission expressed the desire to proceed as soon as possible. Mr. Mingen indicated that he would be willing to proceed with a verbal agreement from the Commission. The Commission felt that Dr. Warren should be given the opportunity to go over the contract but with his concurrence they agreed to sign the contract as corrected and for the LHS Management Company to proceed with their plans.

COMMISSIONER CALVIN BLACK'S REPORT

Blanding Airport - Commissioner Black reported that Blanding City has nearly completed the installation of a security fence around the Blanding airport.

Department of Natural Resources Grant - The Community Impact Board unanimously approved a $49,500 grant to the Department of Natural Resources to pursue the Lake Powell land exchange proposal. The Department of Natural Resources will be making some studies about what can be done and the economic aspects of the exchange.

Blanding Clinic Physician - A letter has been received from Dr. De Lamar Gibbons indicating he would be interested in caning back to Blanding. The letter will be given to the San Juan Health Care Board for further action.

Congressman Wayne Owens Letter - Commissioner Black received a copy of a letter from Congressman Wayne Owens to Mr. Kemp Conn, acting State Director of the BLM regarding his concern about the San Juan Area Resource Management Plan. Congressman Owens stated that he wanted the BLM to leave the SJARMP as it is presently written. He is opposed to it being changed or being made less stringent.

An article in the Utah Mining Association Digest Report stated that Congressman Wayne Owens is going to introduce a bill in 1989 to designate 5,000,000 acres of BLM land as wilderness. That is in contrast to the BLM's preliminary report that found 1.9 million acres suitable.

Ccmmission Workshop/Sweetwater - On September 8 and 9 the Utah Association of Counties is holding the Fall Workshop for Commission and County Executive/Council members on the shore of Bear Lake at the Sweetwater Resort. Commissioner Black reported that one of the major points of discussion will be the special service districts to receive the mineral lease and state PILt funds. Other issues to be discussed will be a section on informing the electorate on the tax limitation, defining the role of county government and an interim recommendation involving the assessing and collecting, highway funding, the status of the district court transfer, JP court legislation and the use of mineral lease and other federal monies toward UAC dues.

Environmental Impact - Commissioner Black reported on an article in the Mountain States Legal Foundation publication. The Forest Service is proposing to close a road that serves a town in Wyoming. It is the only access that the town of Yellow Pine, Wyoming has during the winter months. The road goes through the Boise and Payette National Forests and the Forest Service has been encouraged to close the road by the wilderness society and other environmental group to protect the area as grey wolf habitat. In a court case on the issue the Mountain States Legal Foundation asked the court to order the Forest Service to recognize that congress and federal law gives rights of access to people living within the boundaries of the national forests. The article further stated that pressure from environmental groups on Forest Service officials caused the Forest Service to overstep the bounds of the law. The reasons given for closing the road were tenuous at best and must be concluded that environmentalists are attempting to use the Forest Service to create defacto wilderness outside the congressional process. The judge has ruled that landowners have to be given a key to the gates that are blocking the road but the general public can't use them.

Other information in the Mountain States Legal Foundation publication stated that environmentalists are also using the spotted owl to stop timbering and other things even though it is not an endangered species. The Forest Service made a mistake by signing a memorandum of understanding with one of the environmental groups that they would study the spotted owl and it is now being used to stop productivity within forest areas. These are just a couple of examples of what is being done all over the country.

National Park Service Lands/Mining Claims - The National Park Service has issued a final rule affecting mining claims held on National Park lands under the mining act of 1872, which states that when a national park is created if there are valid mining rights they will be valid. National Park Service says the rule clarifies that its regulations control all activities within National Park Service units regardless of how access is gained to a claim or whether a claim was located before or after the land was incorporated into a park. The Interior Department has asked Congress for authority to protect national parks, trails, wilderness areas and wild and scenic rivers from coal mining activity. The bill would allow the department to trade private coal rights inside such units for leases elsewhere.

Uranium Industry - The U.S. Energy Department told Congress that federal legislation is needed to restructure the enrichment business and revitalize the domestic uranium industry. The U.S. Senate has adopted a budget amendment to provide 1.75 billion for a uranium revitalization fund.

Green River Museum - Green River is going to be breaking ground for a John W. Powell Museum on September 17th. The San Juan County Commissioners have been invited to the event.

Noxious Weed Coordinating Committee - A noxious weed coordinating committee is being formed by the State of Utah. They are concerned about new noxious weeds that have shown up in Box Elder County. Commissioner Bailey will see that a questionnaire sent to the County by Congressman Howard C. Nielson on the noxious weeds within San Juan County will be filled out and returned to Congressman Nielson's office.

Health Service District - Commissioner Black had previously authorized a notice to be published for a public hearing to be held on September 26th at the County Courthouse. At that time public commnents will be taken with regard to establishing a San Juan County Health Service District. The purpose of the health service district would be to own maintain, conduct, operate and carry on the business of health care services which are hospitals, clinics, ambulances, etc. Taxes may be levied annually upon all taxable property within the service district and fees and charges may be imposed to pay for all the services provided. After the hearing, if the Commission determines to go ahead with that, the County would propose a taxing rate that the district would be able to levy for operations. The current consensus is that the County would authorize a tax rate of .0006 which would be the equivalent of 3 mills which would yield, under present tax valuation, $401,000. If the district were created, it would be anticipated that the County's budget would be reduced by exactly the rate which would be authorized by the health district. A five member board, or more, could either be appointed or elected, three for a four-year term and two for a two-year term. If the process is approved then it would be put on the ballot in November for authorization by the voters as the tax rate cannot be levied unless approved by the electorate. The issue cannot be put on the ballot unless the process is begun now. If at any point in time, reasons and evidence comes out that its not a good idea then the Cortmission can abandon the process at any time. The Conmission felt that in the event the tax initiatives pass, a health service district would enable the hospital and health care services to continue. It would also enable health care services to be funded in the event the assessed valuation continues to decline. A motion to propose the establishment of a health service district and authorize the notification of a public hearing was made by Commissioner Maryboy and seconded by Commissioner Bailey. UNANIMOUS.
