?Commentary . . . Reflections, Observations, and Expectations |
|
|
|
|
Tuesday, 30 December 2008 00:00 |
? I have to say up front that I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions. I don’t have anything against them but the practice of making such promises to myself simply because an arbitrary calendar date rolls around seems wrought with potential for me to disappoint myself. I would prefer to set goals for myself rather than make promises to myself.
I know that may be a distinction without a difference; in my twisted way of thinking a goal involves strategies whereas a resolution can lead to all sorts of self imposed guilt and disappointment as well as shortsighted rationalization.
I do, however, see benefit in assessing progress toward goals and the setting of new goals at this time of year based on every changing conditions. Some of these changed conditions have been of my own making while others have been totally out of my control.

Tuesday, 30 December 2008 00:00 |
? In an abbreviated public meeting following an extended executive session, the Washington County Memorial Hospital (WCMH) Board of Directors received still more disappointing financial information. According to Chief Financial Officer, Patricia Ellison, WCMH lost over $228,000 in the month of November and a total of $1.6 million, year-to-date. The financial report was accepted and approved by the Board without question or discussion.
In other business, the Board heard from WCMH Chief Executive Officer, Randy Lindauer, about efforts and progress in recruiting Family Practice Physicians and Pediatrics Physicians. According to Lindauer, negotiations are going well with several doctors and it is expected that some sort of formal announcements are forthcoming after the first of the year.
The Board also appoint three of its own members as representatives to a committee charged with negotiating a binding affiliation agreement with Saint Vincent Hospital of Indianapolis. In addition to members of the WCMH Board, members of the Washington County Council and the Washington County Board of Commissioners will also serve on the negotiating committee. Formal negotiations between the two hospitals are set to begin in January.
With no further business to discuss, the Board adjourned until its next regularly scheduled meeting on January 29. |

?Commissioners encumber funds for horse arena improvements |
|

Monday, 22 December 2008 00:00 |
? The Washington County Board of Commissioners met in regular session for the last time in 2008 on Wednesday, December 17. All members were present, unanimously approving minutes of previous meetings, all claims, and payroll.
Stating that the fairgrounds horse arena generates more revenue for the county than most people realize, Commissioner Byron Green, along with Commissioners Mike Goering and Lana Sullivan agreed to encumber $11,448 from the 2008 Fairgrounds Fund to be used in 2009 for the construction of a new building at the arena.
According to advocates for the project, the estimated cost for the new building will be in excess of the encumbered amount. However, both the Commissioners and the project proponents agreed that the final decision should be made by the new Board of Commissioners taking office in 2009.
