SAN JUAN COUNTY COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 9, 2006 The regular meeting of the San Juan County Commission was held on October 9, 2006 At 10:00 A.M. in the Commission Room at Monticello, Utah. Present: Lynn Stevens , Chairman Manuel Morgan, Vice Chairman Bruce Adams, SJC Commissioner Tammy Gallegos, SJC Administrative Assistant Norman Johnson, SJC Clerk /Auditor Dianne F. Neuss, SJC Deputy Clerk Commissioner Bruce Adams made a motion to approve the minutes of October 2, 2006 with corrections. Commissioner Manuel Morgan seconded the motion and Commissioner Lynn Stevens declared the motion carried by unanimous vote. Evan Lowry - Planning Office Evan reported previously that he sent out applications to various businesses in the County to give them the opportunity to apply for the Enterprise Zone Tax Credit status, but received only one application from the International Uranium Mill. Upon compliance with the requirements they will receive a tax credit in the amount of $50,000 this year and $25,000 next year. This credit is granted for businesses who can demonstrate that they have created new jobs with better salaries, among other requirements. Evan reviews the applications and forwards them to the State for processing. Commissioner Morgan asked Even to provide him with an application packet. The application and information can also be obtained by going to the Utah State Website. Evan met with the Forest Supervisor last week regarding wildlife issues. He said that the newly formatted Plan will be out this Friday and there will be two weeks to review and respond and that the Plan will be sent out on a CD. At the end of the month there will be a two-day meeting in Price for review and input. Once the changes are incorporated, it will go to Washington for finalization, and then released publically. Evan will provide a disk, and other information to go along with it, to Commissioner Stevens and he will deliver it to John Harja. Commissioner Morgan asked if the Plan includes Native Americans having access to unroaded mountain areas for their traditional needs. He said it did have some provision relating to that issue. Walter Bird, Attorney - Personnel Office Walter requested approval to hire Jonathan Nielson for the full time laborer position in the Road Department at Step 33, Grade 5. He also requested approval for an alternate for the position, Tyrel Cressler, in the event that Jonathan Nielson does not accept the position. Commissioner Bruce Adams made a motion to approve hiring Jonathan Nelson for the full time laborer position and also for Tyrel Cressler as alternate for the position. Commissioner Manuel Morgan seconded the motion. Commissioner Lynn Stevens declared the motion carried by unanimous vote. Tammy Gallegos - SJC Administrative Assistant Tammy presented two building permits for approval and signature. Jaron Carling - 32 East Merriam Court, Spanish Valley - Manufactured Home Charles Laurencis - 165 West Rio Grande Drive - Spanish Valley - Manufactured Home Commissioner Manuel Morgan made a motion to approve the building permits provided all appropriate information and signatures are in place. Commissioner Bruce Adams seconded the motion. Commissioner Lynn Stevens declared the motion carried by unanimous vote. Tammy, Rick and Commissioner Stevens attended the CIB Meeting in Salt Lake City where a request for $120,000 for the LaSal Senior Center project was awarded to the County. Tammy said that after the County receives the funding from the USDA, and when the paper work is completed. The project should begin, by the first of the year. Tammy presented a plat for approval for the Flat Iron Mesa Subdivision (Lot 20, Phase 18). Commissioner Manual Morgan questioned whether the developers know that there is a difference in County regulations for major subdivisions. Tammy will let them know that the requirements change when the subdivision is considered to be a major development. Commissioner Bruce Adams made a motion to approve the plat for Lot 20, Phase 18 of the Flat Iron Mesa Subdivision. Commissioner Manuel Morgan seconded the motion. Commissioner Lynn Stevens declared the motion carried by unanimous vote. Norman Johnson - SJC Clerk/Auditor Norman provided a calendar detailing the election process over the next month. He reported that Diebold was a week behind in the data base for the ballots. All absentee ballots and by-mail ballots will be sent out on October 23rd or before, if possible. Public notices are already in the hands of the media, Senior Centers and Native American Chapters. Ballots have also been mailed to military personnel and other people who are overseas. These ballots will be handled personally by Norman and will then be scanned. Early voting will begin on October 24th. Anyone who resides in the County can come in and vote here at the SJC Court House. Norman explained that an absentee ballot is defined as one that is sent through the mail to someone who cannot travel to a polling location. Commissioner Morgan had several questions about the primary election procedures and registration. He was concerned because he had heard that some people said that they could not vote because they were not registered in a particular district. Norman explained that if a person who registered to vote arrives at a polling location and is not listed at that particular location, they can still vote "provisionally" and their vote will be counted. The last day to register to vote is on October 23rd and all registrations must be in the Clerk's office by the 24th of October. Commissioner Morgan asked if he could obtain a sample ballot. He said that there are several rallies planned before the election. The Clerk's office has distributed the budget material to all Departments. The due date for Departments to complete their 2007 budget is October 20th. On November 6th the preliminary budget and the schedule of individual department meetings will be set by the Commission. A public hearing will take place on December 4th , 6:00 p.m., and the final vote on the budget is planned for December 18th. Norman suggested that more time than last year be scheduled for the individual department meetings. Commissioner Adams noted that he will not be available for the Public Hearing, but only one Commissioner is required to be present at the hearing. Open Time and Other Business Sheriff Mike Lacy presented the 2007 contract with the Forest Service, which is up for renewal. The contract is for payment of $5,600 for patrol on Forest Service roads. Commissioner Bruce Adams made a motion to approve renewing the contract with the Forest Service. Commissioner Manual Morgan seconded the motion and Commissioner Lynn Stevens declared the motion carried by unanimous vote. Sheriff Lacy reported that three vehicles, one in Arch Canyon, one at Clay Hill Crossing and one in the Cottonwood area were severely damaged by the floods that took place in the area. Several people who were camping and two BLM employees were also stranded in various areas because of the severe flash flooding. Commissioner's Reports Commissioner Stevens attended the Statewide Coordinated Homeless Summit last Tuesday and Wednesday. Two hundred and fifty people attended the Summit from state, community and church-based agencies to discuss the process and funding for the homeless. Mayor Turk, from Blanding, attended the Summit as well. Commissioner Stevens said that this was a good meeting. On Thursday, Commissioner Stevens attended the CIB meeting in Salt Lake with Rick and Tammy. After presentation of a brief summary, the request for $120,000 for the LaSal Senior Center was approved. Commissioner Stevens attended a Mineral Extractions Impact Working Group. Forty people from six counties were in attendance. The Group will make recommendations to the Governor on Thursday to bring him up to date on this issue and provide recommendations. The recommendations will help the Governor's office in drafting legislation regarding the impact to communities. Commission Morgan attended the 638 Celebration. It was the sixth anniversary of the creation of the Utah Navajo Hospital Service providing health care on and off the Reservation and employing 140 people. The celebration was very well attended. Commissioner Morgan will be in Denver this week to attend the National Indian Health Board Meeting. He will also attend the Red Mesa Chapter meeting this week. Commissioner Adams noted that he had a call from Brien Torgensen regarding 4000 acres of State Trust Land. He said that developers are interested in purchasing this land. Brien had questions regarding water and sewer systems for the area. He indicated that Grand County would like to work with San Juan County to obtain grant money for the water and sewer systems in the Spanish Valley area. 11:15 a.m. - Recess until Public Hearing at 11:45 a.m. 11:45 a.m. - Public Hearing - Resolution #2006-09 - Reaffirming the decision of the SJC Board of Commissioners to discontinue the San Juan County Hospital as an acute-care facility, converting it to function as an urgent care clinic upon the completion of construction of the Blue Mountain Hospital in Blanding. Commissioner Stevens welcomed everyone to the Public Hearing and assured everyone that they would have a chance to be heard on the subject. Sixty four people were in attendance and two petitions were presented by members of the public. One petition listed 265 names of people who opposed the Resolution and one petition list 987 names of people who supported the Resolution. He then gave an overview of the events that have taken place over the last 10 years and specifically over the last few weeks regarding the construction of the Blue Mountain Hospital and the closure of the San Juan County Hospital as an acute care facility. The main issue is that the Blue Mountain Hospital needs to obtain loan insurance from HUD and HUD's requires that the hospital be eligible to apply for "critical access designation" before they will insure the loan. The Blue Mountain Hospital can only become eligible to apply for this standing if there is no other hospital within 35 miles that is, or could be, designated as a "critical access" facility. This designation (which comes from Medicare) allows for a hospital to receive higher reimbursement (100% vs. 85%) from Medicare for services to Medicare patients. This would bring a higher income to the hospital. According to HUD, even though they must be eligible for the designation, they are not required to apply for it, for example, if there are too few Medicare patients utilizing the hospital, but they still need to be eligible to apply for this status. This decision will be made after the hospital is up and running, but in the meantime, assurance must be given to HUD that they are eligible to apply. Commissioner Lynn Stevens then referred to the letter read by Commissioner Bruce Adams, at the last Commission Meeting, regarding conflict of interest issues relating to Commissioner Morgan. Commissioner Stevens wrote a response to Commissioner Adams' document and asked to read it and to have it included in today's minutes. The letter is as follows: Commissioner Lynn Stevens' statement for the record of the 9 October 2006 Commission Meeting and Public Hearing on Resolution 2006-09 During the Commissioner Meeting and Public Hearing held 2 October 2006, Commissioner Bruce Adams read a statement which he requested to be included in the record of the proceedings. I have passed my seventieth birthday. Since age 15, I have served virtually non-stop as a member of athletic teams, professional teams, volunteer work teams, task forces, international military teams, war-fighting teams in combat, Congressionally-chartered study groups, on the staff of the Secretary of Defense, ten years in the Pentagon at Headquarters of the Department of the Army, as a Vice President of one of America's largest publicly-held corporation, church groups, statewide associations, the staff of the governor of Utah, and for the past nearly four years, as an elected County Commissioner. In the past 55 years of working with other, I have never heard, in public or in private, a more shameful, vicious, unresearched, unsubstantiated and inappropriate attack on a fellow team member than the contents of Commissioner Adams' attack on his team mate, Commissioner Morgan. Commissioner Adams' statement is a matter of record, and will not be restated here except to say it contains declarations that were proved to be false even before the day was over. Additionally, Commissioner Adams, as you know, this Commissioner has received a letter from the law firm of Ray Quinney and Nebeker that refutes every point made in your statement. It also refutes every allegation contained in the letter from the law firm of Smith/ Hartvigsen, which represent San Juan County Health Service District. Commissioner Morgan is an independent contractor of Utah Navajo Health Systems and a board member of both Utah Navajo Health Systems and Blue Mountain Hospital. He has not been compensated by either of these tax-exempt, not-for-profit companies for his service as a director. He does not profit financially when either of these entities is involved in a transaction approved by the County. Your statement was an extremely aggressive effort to totally discredit Commissioner Morgan as a person, as a private citizen, and as an elected Commissioner of San Juan County. Commissioner Morgan was not simply "thrown under the bus," he was thrown in front of an entire convoy of buses. Predictably, Commissioner Adams' statement received strong support from a large number of citizens from the northern part of the county, who filled the Commissioner Chamber. When I stated that his comments were fraught with shamefully unsubstantiated allegations the room erupted with jeers, cat calls and "barking," much like a pack of wolves seeking the destruction of one target of prey -Commissioner Morgan. My mother, Afton Stevens, was a highly-respected pioneering matron in San Juan County. She taught school here for over thirty years and motivated thousands of students to be the best they could be. One of her hallmark warnings was, "if you set low standards for yourself, you will feel too good about your poor performance." Her sage wisdom has been validated one more time. Commissioner Adams' statement set the stage for the next two hours of public discussion. Many of those who spoke emphasized their points with insults, foul language and disrespectful tones. It was the ultimate proof for what I have stated publicly for the past five years, and that is that the citizens from the northern part of the County will use whatever measures they can to block private enterprise and preserve their privileged situation of tax-supported, government- controlled monopoly hospital health care, regardless of the fact that the Native Americans in our County are largely unserved or under serviced with hospital availability. A private enterprise hospital project is available. Support of Resolution 2006-09 to be discussed and voted on today will facilitate construction and operation of that hospital and will be a giant step toward improving health care throughout the County. Last week's public meeting was embarrassing and disgraceful. Blatantly demonstrated was an obvious lack of understanding, sensitivity or even concern for the situation faced daily by our Native American citizens. After one of the Navajo women stood and described circumstances which contributed to the death of her relatives, and, just a few weeks ago, the passing of her own mother, one response was that her comments could be considered racist and another particularly inappropriate, insensitive and shocking response was that she should have had her mother treated in Monticello. That spokesman was oblivious to the reality of how impractical such a suggestion was. I request the today's discussions not include a continuation of last week's embarrassing performance. The three men on this commission have worked together very harmoniously for the past two years. We have arrived at agreement on nearly every issue, and have been professional and respectful toward each other in situations of disagreement. The result is that much progress has been made throughout the entire County. Health care is extremely important to all our citizens, but it is by no means the only important thing this Commission deals with. The statement read by Commissioner Adams last week will serve to disrupt and destroy our harmonious relationship unless it is retracted and a sincere and believable apology is expressed publicly to Commissioner Morgan. Approval of Resolution 2006-09 today will remove the last barrier to having private enterprise hospital care in this county. The Blue Mountain Hospital will be extremely helpful in meeting the needs of the Native Americans in the southern part of our County. Even though each Commissioner is elected by voters in designated districts, once elected, we represent the entire County. I say to Commissioner Adams that if your actions last week were motivated by pressures from constituents who elected you, I remind you that nearly half of the people who vote in your designated district are Native Americans who live on the Reservation without adequate hospital services. You have been very public in expressing your desire to heal the difference in our County. Your statement last week created a barrier between the Native Americans and the white residents of our county comparable to the Comb Ridge Reef first seen by the pioneers in 1880. Over the years, the Comb Reef has been penetrated by roadways. It no longer stops the progress of those who want to get beyond it. If we commit to do so, we can get beyond the racial and community barriers in this County! Commissioner Adams, last week you called upon Commissioner Morgan to recuse himself from voting on the Resolutions both last week and this week. If he had done so, he would have failed to represent the people who elected him. Today, I call upon you to apologize to Commissioner Morgan and to represent the people who elected you by voting in favor of Resolution 2006-09. A unanimous vote today will demonstrate to the citizens of the County that the Commissioners are united in actually working toward breaking down the barrier which have stopped collaborative efforts on may important issue3s in the past. It is the honorable thing for you to do. Commissioner Stevens asked if Commissioner Adams if he would like to respond to his letter. Commissioner Adams referred to Commissioner Morgan for his comments first. Commissioner Manuel Morgan said that he appreciated Commissioner Stevens' comments and that he would like to commend Commissioner Stevens for his efforts to bring back good relations between Commissioners. He stated that his goal has always been to do away with barriers between the people in the County and to be a voice for Native Americans and feels that we have come a long way in this direction. He said that he became a Commissioner to represent and make decisions that will benefit all citizens of the County. He said that the Utah Navajo Health System has clearly been successful in providing quality healthcare and he will continue to try and provide improved health care for everyone. Commissioner Morgan was upset and said that he has worked very hard as a Commissioner and felt that the statements made discredited him. Commissioner Adams said that he did not want to rehash his statements from last week and that his letter was not an effort to discredit Commissioner Morgan in any way, but only to point out the legal ramifications, that may result in the future, related to his voting on healthcare issues. He apologized and said that his letter was not meant to be a personal affront. Commissioner Adams said that there is no question that there is a significant number of people who want a hospital built in Blanding but that it was not going to make everyone happy. He said that he has been in touch with HUD and with others in the community to try and work this issue out. He said that after his communication with HUD he feels that there is a window of opportunity in the next 18 months to two years, while the private hospital is being built, to take steps to keep the San Juan County Hospital opened. He is convinced that there is a way for both communities to have what they want. He said that with more board members on the SJC Health Service District Board, and with an increased effort and desire to keep both hospitals open, he is optimistic and personally committed to see that his happens. Two hospitals would also provide a choice which could possibly result in better healthcare for all. He said that if everyone works together toward the same goal, to see that the needs and wants of the people are addressed, the end result will be better healthcare for everyone in the County. Mayor Doug Allen said that he wanted to state publically that after speaking to Mayor Turk of Blanding, and assurances from the Commission and in the spirit of cooperation he is in favor of clearing the way for the Blue Mountain Hospital with the understanding that there will be an effort to keep the San Juan County Hospital open. He is optimistic that all efforts will be made by the Commission and others to support the San Juan County Facility and he is committed to make it work. He anticipates a solution that will work and meet the needs for better healthcare in the County. Cassie Boyle, a member of the Monticello City Council, first made a suggestion that the San Juan Hospital could be made available to provide health service for Monticello residents who were exposed to mill tailings, who have cancer and who are in great need treatment including radiation and chemotherapy. She said that she appreciated the efforts of Commissioner's to bring and end to the conflict regarding Health Care in the County in the spirit of compromise and cooperation to try and develop a plan that is successful. Donna Singer, CEO of the Utah Navajo Health Systems said that the plan for the Blue Mountain Hospital is the same as it was years ago when it was first proposed. She is in favor of the hospital being built in Blanding and said that the UHS would like to work together with the S.C. Health Service District to coordinate this effort. She said that it has always been the patient's right to go to any provider that they choose and that distance and preference are also factors. She explained that the DHS (Indian Health Service) provides only .43 on the dollar for payment of healthcare for Native Americans. She noted the 58% of San Juan County is Native American and that they should work together to create a master plan for healthcare. Mr. Moser, CEO and Administrator of San Juan County Hospital, was optimistic that both facilities can function and that it may be that the Blue Mountain Hospital, with referrals from the Utah Navajo Clinics, and low number of Medicare recipients in that area, may not want to apply for critical access designation. He said that the San Juan Hospital could possibly provide special healthcare services that will not be offered at the Blue Mountain Hospital. Elaine Atticity, Council Member of the White Mesa Reservation and representing the Ute Tribe voiced her support for the Blue Mountain Hospital and said that there is a great need for healthcare, in addition to better education, transportation and law enforcement in her area and that she would like to see the project get underway. Victor Dee from the Red Mesa Chapter, which is in the extreme southern part of the San Juan County, spoke in favor of the hospital being built and said there is a great need in that area for healthcare as did Gloria Begay of the Blue Mountain Dine' group in Blanding. Other suggestions from the Public, including comments from two physicians, who are employed by the San Juan County Hospital voiced their concerns about the risk related to distance people in Monticello would have to go to receive emergency treatment and hoped that Commissioners will follow through with their efforts to keep the San Juan County open. Other suggestions were to investigate putting together a management team to oversee the process and to provide services such as mental health, physical therapy, and other needed health services in the Monticello facility. A question was asked of the Commission as to what the actual "plan" is. Commissioner Adams said that the short term goal was to allow funding for the Blue Mountain Hospital by supporting the Resolution allowing for the Hospital to be eligible to apply for the critical access designation needed to insure the loan through HUD. The greater goal is to provide quality healthcare for everyone in San Juan County with the commitment from the S.C. Commission and other city officials and community members make every effort to find ways to keep the San Juan County Facility in operation. Commissioner Stevens noted that there are three vacancies on the Health Service district Board and encouraged everyone to consider serving on the Board. He said that they have been advertising for these vacancies and will review applications when they are received and that they will continue to recruit for board members. Commissioner Manuel Morgan made a motion to approve Resolution # 2006-09. Commissioner Stevens passed the chair to Commissioner Adams and seconded the motion. Commissioner Stevens and Commission Morgan voted aye and Commissioner Adams voted no. Commissioner Bruce Adams declared the motion carried on a two to one vote. Resolution No. 2006-09 RESOLUTION TO REAFFIRM THAT THE BOARD OF SAN JUAN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE CONCEPT OF PRIVATE ENTERPRISE WITHOUT COMPETITION FROM GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDING LIKE SERVICES, AND TO DOCUMENT SUPPORT FR THE BLUE MOUNTAIN HOSPITAL CORPORATION PROJECT TO CONSTRUCT A PRIVATE ENTERPRISE HOSPITAL IN BLANDING, UTAH, AND ALSO REAFFIRM THE DECISION OF THE SAN JUAN COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS TO DISCONTINUE THE SAN JUAN COUNTY HOSPITAL AS AN ACUTE-CARE FACILITY, AND CONVERT THE COUNTY-OWNED MEDICAL FACILITIES IN MONTICELLO TO FUNCTION AS AN URGENT-CARE CLINIC WHEREAS, a group of healthcare professionals, under the leadership of the Executive director of the Utah Department of Health, evaluated healthcare delivery with San Juan County; WHEREAS, this group recommended that San Juan County would be best served by only having one acute-care hospital; WHEREAS, the recommendation was to locate the Hospital in the City of Blanding, Utah; WHEREAS, they recommended that basis healthcare services need to be preserved in Monticello, Utah, e.g. preventative healthcare, screening, primary care, and "urgent care" for non- life threatening injuries and illnesses. These services could be provided in a well-equipped healthcare facility setting with after-hours, and urgent care that could triage for emergent care situations; WHEREAS, for several years the Blue Mountain Hospital Corporation has pursued approval for constructing an acute-care hospital in Blanding, Utah; WHEREAS, the final approval for guaranteed loan insurance by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Blue Mountain Hospital's private loan is contingent upon having no other acute-care hospitals within 35 miles of Blanding, Utah, after becoming operational; WHEREAS, it is inappropriate to burden the San Juan County taxpayers with the costs of construction and operation of a hospital as a monopoly and to preclude private enterprise investors from providing hospital services in the county; and WHEREAS, the State of Utah Special Districts Act, Section 17A-2-1328, authorizes a governing authority of a service district by resolution and without dissolving the district to discontinue a specified type of service supplied by the district. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNTY LEGISLATIVE BODY OF SAN JUAN COUNTY, UTAH, that it reaffirms support for the construction of the Blue Mountain Hospital in Blanding, Utah, and when the Blue Mountain Hospital become operational, to discontinue the County's hospital currently operating as an acute-care facility in Monticello, and convert those existing medical facilities to function as an "urgent-care" clinic, as recommended by the State Department of Health.
