OhioHealth requests earlier takeover date for county hospital lease, commissioners say
Summary
County officials said OhioHealth asked to move its hospital takeover date from Jan. 1 to Dec. 22 to address payroll timing; the county expects an extra 10 days' rent but said the change does not alter the substance of the lease.
County officials said on Aug. 14 that OhioHealth requested an earlier effective date for its takeover of the hospital lease to address payroll timing.
Speaker 1 reported receiving a message from Jeffrey Williams that "OhioHealth wants to change the effective date of their takeover" from Jan. 1 back to Dec. 22 for payroll reasons. Speaker 1 said the requested change "wouldn't change the agreement at all" other than resulting in the county receiving about 10 extra days of rent for the building.
No formal amendment or vote on the lease was recorded at the meeting. Speaker 1 said the county had asked the attorney for an additional signature page and the prosecutor for specific tax-language, and that those items were still outstanding at the time of the meeting.
If the county advances any formal change to the lease, the board would need to record and vote on that action at a future meeting; the exchange on Aug. 14 was an informational update.
