At the meeting (date not specified), the chair read resignation letters from Nathan Bowles and from Corinne (no last name given in the record). The board moved to accept both resignations; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor.

Trustees discussed steps to advertise the openings. The board agreed to advertise for two weeks, set an application deadline of Aug. 1 and to hold interviews beginning the week of Aug. 4 with a tentative group interview session scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 5 at 5:30 p.m. The motion giving the chair latitude to schedule interview times based on the number of applicants passed. Members said applications will be made available at the health services front desk and on the website, posted in local newspapers (the Gazette and the other local paper were named in discussion), and posted on local bulletin boards such as the post office notice board and via Facebook to increase outreach. The board emphasized that applications must be notarized per special district board requirements.

Allison (staff/counsel) advised the board that the applicable statute contemplates a 30‑day period for appointment, and the board agreed to move to complete the appointment process within that timeframe if possible. Trustees discussed interview logistics including standardized questions and 15‑minute interview slots if there are many applicants.

A motion to advertise as stated — two weeks of advertising, application deadline of Aug. 1, and interviews on Aug. 5 beginning at 5:30 p.m., with the chair given scheduling latitude — was moved and seconded and later approved. The board recorded that accepted resignations were returned with property belonging to Weston County Health Services.

The board closed the meeting by moving to adjourn; that motion also carried.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Weston County Health Services budget hearing and special meeting.

The presentation detailed revenue and expense assumptions and staffing changes intended to sustain services at the Manor and the hospital.

Kathy said the FY2025–26 revenue budget was created using the prior year’s revenue with no increase in charges and that patient and department revenue figures came from the EPIC medical and billing system rather than the accounting system. She told trustees department managers provided expense estimates, and the CEO and the CFO had encouraged “compromise reductions to expenses and define methods for saving and increased revenue.”

The presentation listed the following budget elements as presented: a gross patient revenue figure of $30.9 million; gross revenue deductions of $9,702,000; net patient revenue of $21,200,000; total revenue of $27,900,000; and expenses about $27.9 million. Kathy said operating income and nonoperating revenue would bring the presentation’s total projected net income to $1,091,291. These numbers were given by the presenter during the hearing.

Kathy said salaries and wages were increased in the budget to cover hiring a clinic director and to convert an HRO position to an HR director role. The budget includes funding for 11 certified nursing assistants (CNAs) to replace staff and account for increased census in the Manor; Kathy said the CNA starting rate in the budget is $18 per hour. She also said “no raise will be provided until and unless we see performance aligned with budgeted expectations.”

On capital spending and reserves, Kathy said reserves were not made in 2025 and that the budget used a calculation of 29.5 (as presented) to account for that; she said there are currently no plans for capital purchases until performance metrics are met and funds are available. She also said volume assumptions were modest increases (for example, a 2% increase for Manor bed volume and a 0.5% increase in radiology revenue based on added modalities).

A public commenter earlier in the hearing described living at the Manor as pleasant and referenced organized activities and social life there. That comment was part of the public hearing portion of the meeting and was recorded before the board’s deliberation and vote.

After discussion concluded, a board member moved to approve the FY2025–26 budget as presented; the motion was seconded. The board chair called the vote and the budget carried by a 3–2 tally. The transcript records the outcome “The budget is passed, 3 to 2.”

The adopted budget provisions and the vote mean the board expects to proceed with the staffing and revenue assumptions as presented; trustees directed that capital purchases be deferred pending performance metrics and available funds. The board did not adopt a general wage increase in this budget and included the listed position changes and CNA hires.

The board will reconvene for regular business at the scheduled board meeting times; any future changes to the adopted budget would require formal board action.","After a public hearing, the Weston County Health Services Board of Trustees approved its fiscal year 2025–26 budget by a 3–2 vote. The presentation listed hiring a clinic director and 11 CNAs, no across‑the‑board pay raises in the adopted budget, and a projected positive net income of $1,091,291 based on presented figures.","actionData","errors"]
