FROM: Contra
Phil Batchelor, County Administrator Costa
DATE: July 15, 1985 County
SUBJECT:
of the Councty H®sgpital
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Clarify the Board' s action of May 21 , 1985 changing the name of
the County Hospital to reflect that the official name is to be
Merrithew Memorial Hospital, and that the name change is
effective August 15, 1985.
BACKGROUND•
On May 21 , 1985, the Board approved a change in the name of the
County Hospital. In preparing the Board Order, staff
erroneously included Dr. Merrithew' s first name in the name of
the hospital. This makes for a very long and unwieldy name.
We believe it was the Board' s intent to name the hospital
"Merrithew Memorial Hospital" . For purposes of State
licensing, it is important that the Board' s intent be clear.
We are, therefore, asking the Board to clarify that this was,
in fact, its intent.
Also on May 21, the Board authorized the Health Services
Director and the Board' s Chairwoman to select a date and plan
an appropriate dedication ceremony, at which time the name
change is to become effective. The date of August- 15 , 1985 has
been chosen and an appropriate dedication ceremony is being
planned. Invitations will be mailed shortly. It is,
therefore, appropriate to clarify that the name change will be
effective August 15 , "1985.
