Clif Nickelson, Administrative Officer, and Clark A. Nelson, County Clerk, by Margie Catt, Board of Supervisors Clerk. 73-1204 BUDGET STUDY• Hospital Budget Chairman McKillop said that maybe before the budget for the hospital was discussed the Board should discuss the hospital and what direction the Board is going to go in the matter. Supervisor Ladd agreed; he felt a decision needs to be msde; he feels that there are matters that need serious consideration.. Mental Health budget will also have to be discussed. Walter Atkin, Hospital Administator, was present to discuss the hospital and its operation. He set out things that should be considered. The generator must be purchased because of the new life safety standards, along with this is a demand for the purchase of sprinkling systems. This would be a large expenditure. He set out the things that would need to be done if the hospital is to be kept open. He said that a new light has come on the scene which are the new requirements covering clinics. They will be controlled and regulated the same as hospitals have been in the past. He explain.zr_ ghat would have to be done. Mr. Atkin stated that the hospital situation in Butte County is no different from the other counties. The service has continued to decline. They have reduced the number of employees at the hospital. He explained the problems of help at t'ie hospital. He said they have been running about 12 acute patients per day anal about 25 per day in the long term section. He explained how they receive payment for these long term care patients. Mr. Nickelson asked Mr. Atkin what he would estimate would be the County's loss per patient for the lczg term patient. Supervisor Ladd made a statement to the Board for consideration He feels that the Board has to decide whether the County is going to try and continue with the hospital providing the services. The County has not been able to provide real hospital service for some time. He said the Health Department could be put out at the hospital. There is a place at the hospital where violent patients can be kept; there is no other .such place in the County at this time. He set out his views on how the hospital could be used to the best interest of the County. Chairman McKillop said this would be utilizing the hospital for the Health Department, Mental Health and for a clinic. Supervisor Gilman felt that the decision that should be made at this time is what is to be done t~rith ths~,present operation. He does not think the County can continue with the acute care or long term care at the hospital. Supervisor Ladd felt the County needs to eliminate the acute care and the long term care services. The County is not in a position. to handle these operations at this time. Page 374.

Supervisor Ladd said there was a critical shortage d space at the Bird Street building. Chairman 1~cKillop said the Health Care Services could be provided under the Health Department. Chairman McKillop asked Mr. Atkin ghat would be required for the clinic. fine clinic would not have to have the sprinkler system. It was moved by Supervisor Madigan and seconded by Supervisor Gilman that the County phase-out the acute care section of the hospital, as soon as possible. Motion discussed. Supervisor Ladd did not think that the time had arrived to make such a motion. He feels that the Board should have a little more information as to where the County is going. Until the Board has some of the other issues resolved, he would not lie able to vote on this motion. He requested that the motion be withdrawn u_^~;il more consideration was-given to the matter. Time spent discussing the motion. On motion of Supervisor L2d.d, seconded by Supervisor Cameron and carried, the above motion was tabled at this time. AYES: Supervisors Cameron, Ladd and Chairman McKillop NOES: Supervisors Gilman and Madigan Supervisor Gilman stated that if the Board wGs going to proceed with the phase out of the acute care section, it should also consider the extended care section. Chairman McKillop requested Mr. Atkin to speak on this subject. Mr. Atkin said that bed availability in this County for the long term patient is nil. On the acute care side, there i~ an availability of beds except during an epidemic period. Mr. Atkin felt that the extended care section would have to be kept open for a period of time. He feels that the hospital could be phased out gradually. He said there are applications for more beds at some of the convalescent hospitals in the County. There are 77 beds at the Ya~spital. There ~-^e 22 or 30 beds at the hospital than could be released so that the other hospitals could add them 'to their facility. Mr. Atkin said the County could notify the Department of Health Services that the County would be releasing certain amount of beds. Releasing of beds discussed; no action taken at this time. Chairman McKillop felt that there was no way that the County could economically operate the present hospital unless it was updated. It was felt that there should be a statement of intent that the County was going to release beds at the hospital. Mr. Nickelson said he and Mr. Atkin could talk with the State and proceed with an orderly phase-out of the beds. Chairman McKillop felt this would be a good item for discussion at the County Superior Health Services meeting to be' held on Monday, August 6th. Releasing of the beds discussed further at this time. Page 375. ,Tiny 30, 1973 It was moved by Supervisor Cameron, seconded by Supervisor Madigan and unanimously carried that the County intends to release 22 long term beds at the County Hospital at this time. Supervisor C~~meron asked Mr. Atkins of the feasibility of moving the Mental Health Facility to the County Hospital. Mr. Atkins said they could be moved intact. The offices could be in the south wing and the acute care area could be utilized for these patients. Supervisor Gilman felt that Dr. Magaire should be present during this discussion. Chairman McKillop felt the decision should come from the Mental Health Committee. The Committee thought at the time it was moved that it would be moved to Chico Community Hospital. Supervisor Cameron said he would ask for the Committee's in-put at the meat meeting of the Committee. Time spent discussing lab services It was felt that there would be no change in this step. 'Whey could still go to the hospital anal have their work up and then could be transferred to the county facilities. Supervisor Ladd said he ~~•lieved that the County Health Department needs lab services; the jail. and juvenile hall also needs the lab services. It was felt that these things should be considered in an in-depth study. Chairman McKillop felt the Board should have a cost analysis for Mental Health Services. Kitchen facilities at the hospital should also be considered. Chairman McKillop asked if the County should have a complete Health. Services operation, but under the Health Department. There should not be luplication of services by the department=•. Supervisor Gilman suggested that the Board give some direction to the Administrativ Officer and the Health Department to go over this matter and report back to the Board. x~c~ss: g:2o ~corrvErrED : 9 ~ 35 Chairman McKillop asked if there was anyone that desired to speak on the hospital situation at this time. 1. Mr. Abe Bailey, 12 M~esedith Lane, Chico, present as president of the "Bridge". He said a consideration of moving the mental health facilities to the present hospital site is opposed. He explained the operations of the "Bridge". It helps during crisis situations. He would welcome Mr. Stratton or any of the Supervisors to join in and have a thorough evaluation. He only hopes that the ,Supervisors when discussing the hospital will consider the Bridge also. The Bridge program would be affected seriously if the County moves the Mental Health program to the present County Hospital. Supervisor Ladd said the Board is aware of the fine services that are being provided by the "Bridge". He said he did not understand why moving the Mental Health "acilities to Oroville would affect the Bridge. The County wou_1d merely be moving the stabilization facility from the motel to the County Hospital. Mr. Bailey said he ~oanted it on record that the Bridge was at Page 376. Jule 30, 1973 W _ _ _ _ _ _ - - _ _ _ _ July_30, -1~7~ _ _ _ a level of service now and it would be tragic if it were eli-~inated from County support at this time. They received about $25,000 a year from Dr. Maguire. Dr. Maguire would have to remove this amount from his budget for their support. John McLaughlin, Chico, Director of Work. Training Center, explained how the moving of the Mental Health Facilities would affect them. They have a bus that takes the patients from the Mental Health facility and takes them to the Work Training C.,nter. He explained his objections to the move. Mr. Boon, Merrimac Star Route, Oroville, Public Relations for AA, spoke concerning the Mental Health program. He asked what was to be clone with the Alcoholic patient. He said it would be a sad day if the County Hospital was to close. Supervisor Cameron said that what Mr. Boon was saying was that the County needs a detoxification facility. Chairman McKillop askeo_F`;r. Atkins that if the acute care facility were closet,., what would be the savings in this budget. Mr. Atkins will bring the figures back to the Board later in this meeting. Supervisor Ladd set out his thinking about the office or clinical type patients and how they should be handled. Mr. Mickelson stated that in the Sheriff Department Budget there was $40,000 budgeted for hospital in-patient and out-patient services. This could be p: id to private doctors or to the County hospital. The Sheriff bias even considered contracting for his own physician for the jail. Chairman McKillop requested that Mr. Mickelson explain who the County was responsible for-medical wise. Mr. Mickelson said there were three categories: (1) the alien, this has been eliminated; (2) the person in transcexit-the non-resident; and (3) the 18 to 20 year olds. Time spent discussing the operation of the hospital and how it should be handled at this time. Supervisor Cameron asked if it would be in order to have some in-put from the medical association? Mr. Mickelson said the Butte-Glen Medical Society will be meeting August 1 in Chico. Chairman McKillop said he would dike to have someone attend their meeting; and indicate the Board"s thining in this matter. Will they take these patients that the County has had to absorb on a long term basis. Chairman McKillop directed Mr. Mickelson to speak to the Medical Society on this matter. Supervisor Cameron said he would like to have the Board`s position put into a letter; Mr. Mickelson said it would be ready by tomorrow's meeting. Chairman McKillop said he would, also, like some commitment from the hospitals about this matter. A similar letter will be written to the hospitals setting out the Board°s thinking in this matter.
