Clay County hears hospital update; approves hospital payments, payroll and CEO bond renewal
Summary
The Commissioners Court approved payment of hospital bills and payroll by unanimous consent, heard updates on upcoming hospital events and renewed a $10,000 fidelity bond for the hospital CEO at a $50 fee.
The Clay County Commissioners Court approved payment of bills and payroll for Clay County Memorial Hospital and renewed the hospital CEO’s fidelity bond, and heard a brief update on upcoming hospital events.
Jim Colato, CEO of Clay County Memorial Hospital, provided the court with event dates and registration details. He said the hospital will host a lunch-and-learn at the community center, with Dr. Zarraga presenting; a foundation bingo night on March 29 at 7 p.m. at 113 West Gilbert; a mental-health walk on May 1 at 1 p.m.; and a hospital 5K on April 12 tied to Turkey Fest. Colato told the court event registrations are available on the hospital’s Facebook page and by calling the hospital.
The court voted to approve hospital bills (item 4) and the hospital payroll (item 5) by general consent (each approved 5–0). The court also approved renewal of the CEO’s $10,000 fidelity bond at a $50 fee (item 25), recorded as approved 5–0; the clerk will confirm which budget line will cover the fee.
Nut graf: The approvals allow hospital operations to proceed with payroll and scheduled community events; the bond renewal maintains the county’s formal financial protections for the hospital CEO.
In discussion, Colato outlined registration instructions and noted capacity limits for some events. For the foundation bingo night he said, “It’s only $30 to get 10 games,” and directed people to contact Deborah Hahn for further information. The court recorded no objections to the motions.
Ending: Court members asked clerical follow-up questions about budget coding for the bond fee; staff said they would confirm the payment source for the $50 fee.
