<br />Page -6- <br /> <br />Chuck Romano <br /> <br />This item to be added to the next agenda. <br /> <br />Inquired if Scripps/Howard would offer the <br />same services as Storer has; will they <br />formally increase it; and how will they deal <br />with the cost or services? <br />Mr. Lyons responded that the cost of services <br />according to the agreement is set for a period <br />of 3 years. After that 3 year freeze any <br />rate structure has to be approved by the <br />City Council. At this time did not know <br />if there would be any increases. <br />As to the amount of services offered - <br />Advised that they certainly would be increased. <br /> <br />Councilman Leary <br /> <br />Mayor Meier <br /> <br />DR. DAVID HIBBARD <br /> <br />Requested Mr. Romano have a written state- <br />ment detailing the programs to be offered <br />by Scripps Howard. <br /> <br />Stated that he was a physician at the Christo- <br />pher Village Medical Center in Louisville <br />and wished to formally discuss the Louisville <br />Therapy Clinic operated by Boulder Memorial <br />Hospital, located next door to his office. <br />He felt the physical therapy clinic was a <br />valued service for all the residents of the <br />City. At this time Boulder Community Hospi- <br />tal is putting a tremendous amount of pressure <br />on Boulder Memorial Hospital to move the <br />therapy clinic from Louisville to their pro- <br />posed site in Lafayette. He requested Council <br />to contact the people that are putting the <br />pressure on Boulder Memorial Hospital. The <br />people of Boulder Memorial Hospital stated <br />to him that they would prefer to stay in <br />Louisville. He suggested the person to con- <br />tact was John McFetridge, Executive Director; <br />urged Council to take a stand on the matter. <br /> <br />Administrator Wurl <br /> <br />Inquired what kind of pressure has Boulder <br />Community placed on Boulder Memorial? <br />Dr. Hibbard stated that the relationship between <br />the 2 hospitals has never been very good. <br />This comes out of a direct competition and <br />a direct survival sense, that financially <br />they both have to make money. What Community <br />Hospital is saying if in effect Memorial <br />decides not to join their Lafayette facility <br />in the underwriting of the cost of the clinic <br />
