The Hospital Authority Board of Nashville and Davidson County recorded several formal actions at its Jan. 30 meeting. Where tallies were not recorded in the transcript, votes were taken by voice and passed by assent. The board’s minutes show the following actions and outcomes.
• CEO performance bonus: The CEO performance review committee recommended a score equating to a 4 percent bonus for the CEO for fiscal year 2024; the board approved the committee’s recommendation. The committee reported scores (on a 1–5 scale) of 3 in growth, 4 in financials, 3 in quality, 4 in customer service and 3 in board relations and recommended the resulting 4% bonus within the contract’s 0–5% bonus range.
• HVAC repair contract: The board approved a bid to Bernhardt to replace parts on an original HVAC unit at a total cost of $119,000; the work was described as parts replacement rather than a full unit replacement. The CEO commended the committee for seeking warranty and lifespan information prior to approval.
• Minutes approvals: The board approved the minutes of the Oct. 31, 2024 and Nov. 20, 2024 regular meetings by voice vote.
• PSA oversight motion: The board authorized the chair to respond to Metro Legal and requested that PSA negotiations be a standing agenda item with monthly updates; the board confirmed meetings with Meharry had occurred and set a cadence for monthly negotiation reports.
• Committee and governance actions: The board filled officer nominations by ballot and elected Dr. Raymond Martin as chair, Christy Smith as vice chair and Dr. Erin Nettles as secretary for the current term; the board also approved multiple medical staff initial appointments and reappointments as presented by the medical executive committee, and approved adding Dr. Nettles to the finance committee.
Where recorded, votes were voice assent and motions passed. The meeting minutes recorded no defeated motions tied to the items above.
