Summary

A motion to add an agenda item to issue an RFP for a county-owned hospital in Sibley failed on a voice vote after one aye and four nays; the proponent was told the issue may be raised later under the county property agenda item.

Speaker 1 moved to add an item asking the county to issue a request for proposals (RFP) for a county-owned hospital in Sibley; Speaker 2 seconded the motion. The board conducted a voice vote that produced one aye and four nays, and the motion failed for lack of an affirmative majority.

Speaker 1 asked whether the proposal could be brought up at a later date. Speaker 3 said the proponent could reintroduce the matter during the regular agenda item on county-owned property as that process unfolds over several meetings. No formal action on an RFP was taken at this meeting.

The discussion begun by Speaker 1 was procedural and concluded with agreement that the topic may return for formal consideration in the normal agenda sequence rather than being added as new business at this session.
