Board approves CEO contract authority with Tish Miller Company LLC; approves two physician credentials

The board voted to authorize the CEO to enter into a contract with Tish Miller Company LLC under the rate and stipulations discussed in executive session, with an end date related to Dec. 31 and the possibility of 30‑day renewals on request, a trustee said. The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.

Later in the meeting, trustees moved and seconded approval of the credentialing of two physicians: Dalen Christiansen, MD, and Gurjeet Singh, MD (the transcript lists Singh’s specialty as neurology). That motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the chair calling for "aye" votes but does not record a roll-call tally.

Why it matters: authorizing the CEO to sign the contract gives the hospital operational authority to proceed with the engagement with Tish Miller Company LLC under the terms discussed; credentialing approvals allow the named physicians to provide services at the hospital, pending any administrative follow-up.

Details recorded in the transcript: one trustee said the contract authorization would allow the CEO to enter the hospital into a contract with Tish Miller Company LLC “at the rate discussed, with the stipulations and limits discussed” and referenced an endpoint “related to the December 31.” The trustee also said the contract could be renewed in 30‑day increments upon request. The transcript records the motion, a second and a voice vote with the chair calling for ayes and saying the motion passed, but it does not record individual votes or counts.

Limitations: the transcript does not include a copy of the contract, the exact rate, or any written terms; the motion text and vote were recorded orally and the transcript does not include a recorded tally.
