Sublette County Rural Health Care District
Regular Meeting
May 12, 2003 - 7:30 p.m.

Press Reps: George Wilkes, Cat Urbigkit
Other: Roger McMannis
CALL TO ORDER
Walt Bousman called the meeting to order at 7:36 p.m. and set agenda. Jerry Jensen motioned to accept agenda. Mary Lynn Worl seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
GENERAL BUSINESS
Roger McMannis of Home Improvement Specialists gave an update of his progress regarding the necessary changes to the ambulance carport. He also submitted a proposal of the cost. Mr. McMannis will contact the State after the work is done, which is expected within five weeks. Jerry Jensen motioned to approve the proposal. Bill Barney seconded the motion. Motion carried with the vote being Jerry Jensen, Bill Barney, Mary Lynn Worl in favor and Garry Eiden opposing.
MINUTES/PHYSICIAN CHECKS APPROVAL
Mary Lynn Worl corrected a section under EMS business regarding the desktop placement on page 3 of the April 14, 2003, minutes draft. The motion was not unanimous as she voted nay. Jerry Jensen motioned to accept the April 14, 2003, Regular Meeting Minutes with corrections. Mary Lynn Worl seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Discussion turned to the special meeting minutes of January 21, 2003. The fourth sentence under "general business" was questioned in reference to political correctness and accuracy. Walt Bousman, Jerry Jensen, and Mary Lynn Worl felt the statement was accurate, although the wording was strong. Bill Barney felt the statement was inaccurate. Bill Barney motioned to amend the minutes by striking the paragraph. Discussion continued regarding the events of the meeting. Jerry Jensen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mary Lynn Worl motioned to accept the physicians' checks. Jerry Jensen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. The board approved and signed the checks.
GENERAL BUSINESS
Walt Bousman stated an idea to allow the publishing of unofficial minutes for public review prior to the meeting has been brought to his attention. Suggestions were given for the means to accomplish this. Not only could this be difficult and burdensome, but also cause confusion due to the publication of unofficial and official minutes. Bill Barney motioned this issue be tabled until next month to allow reflection. It was noted the minutes are for the most part accurate and there have been very few corrections. Jerry Jensen seconded the motion. Motion carried with the vote being Mary Lynn Worl, Jerry Jensen and Bill Barney in favor and Garry Eiden opposing.
PHYSICIAN BUSINESS
BUDGET REQUESTS
The board obtained information pertaining to the requested budget items of the Marbleton-Big Piney Clinic.
Autoclave - Product information was obtained on this item.
Ice Machine - The Marbleton Clinic does not presently have an ice machine. The amount given was a rough estimate.
Infusion IV Pumps - The purpose for requesting four units was likely based on the number of ER beds.
Counter Tops - The amount for the ER counter tops from last year's budget is to be included with the addition project rather than an individual project.
Air Conditioning - The need for air conditioning was discussed. It was determined it was reasonable to include this item with the addition project rather than an individual project.
OTHER
Dr. Turner requested to receive an agenda prior to the meeting in order to be prepared for the meetings. The chairman suggested the agenda be faxed the morning of the meeting.
Discussion pertaining to seminar expenses requested by Dr. Boyle was addressed. Dr. Turner felt it was not for patient education but rather for her to gain more money.
Dr. Turner questioned a statement made by Jerry Jensen pertaining to the priority of an addition to the Pinedale Clinic. Although Dr. Turner felt the Marbleton Clinic should have the priority, the board agreed a needs assessment will be conducted as honestly and reasonably as the board can and a determination will be made from the information.
Dr. Turner stated he was interested in the loan program but would not put in for it if it was illegal. Bill Barney reiterated the program was not retroactive and summed up the legal opinion from attorney Ed Wood. The loan is tied to the clinic contract and is legal. Dr. Turner continued the discussion regarding his qualification for the program if he left and returned. Mary Lynn Worl stated criteria and guidelines will be used for any new hire. Bill Barney stated one of the principle criteria is if the individual will stay. It was noted that Dr. Burnett did not approach the previous board for this kind of help, only moving expenses. Jerry Jensen stated future program use would be looked at on an individual basis.
EMS BUSINESS
DESKTOP COMPUTER PLACEMENT
Legal counsel has determined that the responsibility and liability in relation to HIPAA lies with the Marbleton Clinic, not the district. Therefore the computer location in the Marbleton Clinic is acceptable and does not pose an extra burden on the district.
SIGN
A design for the Pinedale Ambulance Barn sign has been decided upon. Wil Gay questioned if it should be made of metal or wood. It did not matter to the board. Pinedale EMS will go forward with the estimate process. Garry Eiden will give Wil Gay information on the person who built the Midway Mall signs.
GRILL GUARD
A request was put in by Wil Gay to transfer a grill guard over to a non-profit organization. Since the organization is not within the realm of district purposes, it will need to be put through the bidding process. Mary Lynn Worl motioned that the grill guard be put out for bid. Jerry Jensen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
POLICY AND PROCEDURE
IMPLEMENTATION
Wil Gay was concerned about sections vs. the entire policy being implemented, thus causing confusion. Walt Bousman stated that after implementation at a meeting, those in attendance need to take the information back to their groups, and then a memo should be sent in order to keep the line of communication open. It was noted that the EMS supervisor job description is in effect and official as written. It was also suggested if there are problems with the policies, they should be brought to the board for discussion through the clerk. If there are any questions regarding policy, Jauna McGinnis is to be contacted for an answer.
OTHER
Pinedale EMS has received an enhancement award from the State. They plan to purchase one of the stair chairs requested in their budget. They will also be receiving a donation from EnCana in the amount of $2,500, which will be turned in to the district. Scholarships were awarded to four graduating seniors. Since the recipients have not been informed, the names will not be released at this meeting.
The State has granted AEDs to the Bondurant Fire Department, Sublette Hi-Country Senior Center, Pinedale High School and the sheriff's office. This will ensure public access to defibrillators for trained lay persons. A PEPP class is scheduled for June 21st. A BEC class is scheduled also. The purpose is to implement a first responder unit in the Jonah Field. Wil Gay requested the ability to run the expense through the district, which will be reimbursed by the State. The board agreed to this process.
Big Piney Ambulance Service President Don Pope questioned whether or not Rich Anderson could be the supervisor due to the wording in the policy, which states the supervisor must be an EMT-I. Jerry Jensen stated he had already contacted Rich Anderson regarding this matter. It means EMT-I or higher.
Rich Anderson was contacted by the Chuckwagon Days Rodeo committee regarding whether or not they would be charged. Garry Eiden motioned to add the Chuckwagon Rodeo to the list of exempt organizations in the stand-by policy. Bill Barney seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Discussion ensued regarding public versus private events. Jerry Jensen motioned to change it to any public event will be exempt, if a private entity; $150 plus $5 per roundtrip mile. Bill Barney amended the motion to clarify the public exemption to supply an ambulance without charge to any non-profit organization in Sublette County with an event open to the public for the benefit of the public. Mary Lynn Worl seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Jauna McGinnis was instructed to send a letter to the organizations listed in the policy stating the new policy.
BUDGET REQUESTS
The board obtained information pertaining to the requested budget items of the ambulance services.
BPAS - The ambulance carport is in need of signs to signify exits, no parking, etc. Folding tables and chairs are needed for the outer room and CME use. A tire shed is needed to store the extra sets of tires (i.e., studded tires during summer months)
PEMS - Pinedale EMS requested an increase in professional development and uniform monies in anticipation of increasing their census. The issue regarding what constitutes a uniform was discussed. Jauna McGinnis reminded the board of the uniform allowance purpose, in that it was to help defray the cost, not outfit the EMTs with a full uniform. It was suggested hats and coats should be owned by the district. Wil Gay clarified UPS system as a back-up power supply for the computer in the event of a power outage.
CLERK BUSINESS
Jauna McGinnis requested the ability to sign up for the electronic federal tax payment system. Garry Eiden motioned to allow the clerk to sign up for EFTPS. Jerry Jensen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
GENERAL BUSINESS
BUDGET WORKSHOP MEETING
The board agreed an acceptable date for the budget workshop meeting would be May 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the Marbleton Fire Hall.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS REPLY
Walt Bousman and Jerry Jensen approached the County Commissioners with a request for permission to build additions to the clinics. The commissioners granted permission.
HIGH COUNTRY COUNSELING
There is a concern about who is going to fund mental health this year. Jeff Swain of High Country Counseling had approached the County Commissioners for funding also. Mary Lynn Worl suggested Jeff Swain be communicated with regarding the budget process and the board's consideration of the request. Bill Barney felt it would be inappropriate to fund their building project, but rather fund an assurance of services available to those without money. Jerry Jensen would also like to see an accountability of the funds. Walt Bousman stated a decision needs to be made regarding who will be funding mental health - county commissioners or district.
CLINIC ADDITIONS
The board discussed the process for the clinic additions. It was decided to research architectural firms.
BASE STATION RADIO UPDATE
A letter of update from Sublette Communications was read. Also, the new radio systems for the clinics are in the process of installation.
LIGHTS
The lighting for the helicopter pad was discussed. Garry Eiden suggested an individual who specializes in helicopter pad lighting be contacted. This individual is currently performing work at the Big Piney Airport. The board agreed to have Garry contact him to receive a recommendation and cost regarding the lights. He is to call Jauna McGinnis to relay the information to other board members.
TRAUMA CONFERENCE LODGING
The board discussed recent lodging problems at the Jackson trauma conference (i.e., what is district expense, what is not). It was decided that those individuals who had a room to themselves would be overlooked this time. This issue will be discussed more closely and the policy will be written to reflect the district's expectations. Mary Lynn Worl will put together the wording regarding lodging.
DISBURSEMENT APPROVAL
Mary Lynn Worl motioned to pay the bills as presented. Jerry Jensen seconded the motion. Motion carried authorizing vouchers for payroll and vendors numbered 2640 through 2739 and Direct Deposit transactions 3133-1 through 3148-1127 totaling $116,583.50.
ADJOURNMENT
Without any further business, Bill Barney motioned to adjourn the meeting. Jerry Jensen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned 10:13 p.m.
