Press Reps: George Wilkes, Cat Urbigkit
Other: William Belveal, other community members
CALL TO ORDER
Walt Bousman called the meeting to order at 7:38 p.m. and set the agenda. Mary Lynn Worl motioned to accept agenda as stated. Jerry Jensen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
MINUTES/PHYSICIAN CHECKS APPROVAL
Dr. Burnett questioned whether or not the statement in the June 9 minutes pertaining to strip/wax floor from the attorney was presented at the meeting. The board stated it was. Jerry Jensen motioned to accept the June 2, 2003, special meeting, June 9, 2003, regular meeting, June 23 special meeting and June 30 special meeting minutes as presented. Bill Barney seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mary Lynn Worl motioned to accept the physicians' checks. Bill Barney seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. The board approved and signed the checks.
GENERAL BUSINESS
William Belveal requested the board to have a hospital feasibility study done. A Montana firm could do the study for $38,000 and the State of Wyoming has available grants to pay for $30,000. The board is currently working on a master plan for the county. A similar feasibility study is included in this plan. The board's direction is to initiate planning for the immediate and future needs.
PHYSICIAN BUSINESS
BUDGET PROCESS
Dr. Burnett questioned what the board's individual philosophy is in regard to parity. Mary Lynn Worl stated she ran to represent Sublette County, to be equitable and provide for both clinics, not dollar-for-dollar or item-for-item. Bill Barney agreed with Ms. Worl, stating the board looks at the needs, appropriateness of requests, and does not look at parity as the only issue. Jerry Jensen agreed with Ms. Worl and Mr. Barney, stating monies can't be split down the middle, and he looks at Sublette County as a whole. Walt Bousman stated the board would get as close as it can and cover the needs. Discussion continued regarding the board's process of approving requested items.
SOFTGOODS INSURANCE UPDATE
Dr. Boyle had previously requested the board inquire if softgoods could be insured under the county policy. It has been determined the softgoods are not district assets and therefore cannot be insured under the county policy.
CONTRACT ADDENDUM
Mary Lynn Worl motioned to accept the addendum to Dr. Boyle's contract as presented. Jerry Jensen seconded the motion. Discussion ensued. Motion carried unanimously. The board signed the contract.
Dr. Burnett was given the opportunity to read the addendum.
CME
The board at this time is not in favor of approving the CME voucher submitted by Dr. Turner. They would also like to explore this issue at a later date and possibly include it in a retention package.
CONTRACT ADDENDUM
Discussion returned to the contract addendum. Dr. Burnett questioned a statement in regard to past monies spent for a physician search in Big Piney. Walt Bousman will research and get back with Dr. Burnett.
REIMBURSEMENT CHECK
Dr. Boyle submitted a check to return the reimbursed expenditures for the rural health clinic seminar. The board did not accept the check. Dr. Burnett questioned the process for the approval of this item. It was determined it was approved in the physician checks or disbursement approval process, not as a formal discussion. The board will look into this.
EMS BUSINESS
PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYEES
Kris Bacheller, Pinedale EMS president, gave an update to the board. Pinedale EMS has finished a BEC class. Four of the nine students have submitted applications for membership. The applications will be presented to the group for acceptance. The accepted applications will be brought to the August regular meeting for the board's acceptance as an employee.
A full-time EMT has resigned her full-time position. No applications have been received. The board discussed an alternative to obtain two part-time employees instead of one full-time. Bill Barney motioned to authorize obtaining either a full-time or two part-time employees. Jerry Jensen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Pinedale EMS was given permission to ensure weekday coverage by splitting the salaried personnel. The part-time person will only work with the full-time person on one day during the week.
FULL-TIME COVER PAY
This issue was discussed briefly. The board will put some thought into it.
SIGN
The production of the Pinedale EMS ambulance barn sign is in the final stages.

Jauna McGinnis is to draft a thank you letter to John Haugh and Lucy Fandek for their contribution to the service.
AMBULANCE ENGINE UPDATE
This replacement cannot be done locally. It must be through a dealership. The new engine will cost $10,000. The exhaust will be replaced also. Gillette Diesel in Salt Lake City can install the new engine.
BUDGET QUESTIONS
The board obtained information pertaining to budget requests.
GENERAL BUSINESS
CLINIC ADDITION PROCESS
The board members who were able to participate with the architect tours summarized their visits with them and expressed a greater confidence in the Denver firm.
