SUBJECT: NEGOTIATIONS WITH DELTA MEMORIAL AND LOS MEDANOS COMMUNITY HOSPITALS
The Board on February 28, 1984 having directed the County Administrator
to continue negotiations with Delta Memorial Hospital and the Los Medanos Community
Hospital District in an effort to reach agreement on the conditions under which
the Board would agree to delicense certain of the County's licensed hospital bed
capacity and return to the Board in one week; and
The County Administrator having presented a letter to the Board dated
March 6, 1984 requesting a two-week delay in presenting a proposal from Los Medanos
Community Hospital in order for the Administrator of the hospital to have time to
meet with his Board, and having reported that discussions with Delta Memorial
Hospital have resulted in staff's being unable to reach any agreement within the
negotiating parameters provided by the Board; and
Mr. Lee Domanico, Administrator, Delta Memorial Hospital , having presented
a letter dated March 5, 1984, and having summarized its content for the Board,
and having pointed out that because Delta Memorial Hospital handles a relatively
high proportion of Medi-Cal patients its revenue per bed is lower than would be
expected in the San Ramon Valley and that, therefore, Mr. Domanico believes the
Board should take into account this reduced value in determining how much should
be received from Delta Memorial Hospital for the twelve (12) beds they have
requested versus the value which has been committed by National Medical Enterprises
for the beds they requested in the San Ramon Valley; and
The Board Members having generally agreed that Mr. Domanico made some
valid points and that this should be taken into account in any negotiations, and
that because a two-week delay has been given to Los Medanos Hospital , a similar
two-week delay should be given to Delta Memorial Hospital and the matter should
be referred to an appropriate Board Committee to continue the negotiations; and
Supervisor Fanden having moved to refer Delta Memorial Hospital 's March 5,
1984 letter to the Internal Operations Committee to continue negotiations with
Mr. Domanico and report back to the Board on March 20, 1984; and
Supervisor Powers having seconded the motion; and
Henry Clarke, on behalf of Contra Costa Employees Association, Local No. 1 ,
having expressed the opinion that the County is being too hasty in disposing of its
hospital beds which may be required by the Contra Costa Health Plan once the
current financial crisis is over, and that at the least the County should receive
$21 ,000 per bed;
The MOTION was APPROVED unanimously, Ihereby Certify that this isatrue ardcorrectcopyof
