Board defers Frontier Medical Group update, presses for enforceable clinic contract and clear hours
Summary
Frontier Medical Group offered to postpone its update and provide materials in advance; board members asked staff to nail down clinic hours and to structure a legally enforceable month-to-month contract to allow payments while satisfying tax rules.
Representatives connected with Frontier Medical Group asked to defer their board presentation until the next meeting and to provide documents in advance so the board could review clinic operations and hours. The board agreed and asked that any materials be circulated ahead of the next meeting.
Board members expressed concern that the clinic’s hours and scope of services be spelled out in any contract. Don said he had been discussing hours and services with Frontier. A legal representative recommended creating an enforceable professional services contract and noted that temporary month-to-month agreements would allow the district to pay for services while meeting Department of Taxation accounting and 1099 requirements. "So as long as we have a legal contract, D tax will be happy," the representative said.
