IV. Action Items (continued)

C. Approval of Memoranda of Understanding between the Medical Staff of the John H. Stroger, Jr.

Hospital of Cook County and the Cook County Health and Hospitals System and between the Medical Staff of Provident Hospital of Cook County and the Cook County Health and Hospitals System regarding the status of certain members in the Affiliate category of the Medical Staffs of Stroger and Provident Hospitals, respectively. Dr. Claudia Fegan, System Interim Chief Medical Officer, and Helen Haynes, System Associate General Counsel, provided additional information on the item presented. Dr. Fegan stated that there are members of the medical staff that have membership at multiple institutions. Typically, one becomes a member of the medical staff of the first hospital at which one seeks privileges for, and becomes an affiliate member of other subsequent hospitals. In the Bylaws, it is written when that original medical staff appointment ceases to exist, so do all of the affiliate memberships. It is not the intention to eliminate members of the medical staff of Oak Forest Hospital who are also working at Provident and Stroger Hospitals; this will allow those memberships to continue not as affiliates, but as members going forward. Ms. Haynes stated that this is necessary to prevent an inadvertent interpretation of the Bylaws of Provident and Stroger Hospitals; she noted that this will be presented to the Medical Executive Staffs to make minor adjustments in language, in negotiation with the medical staffs, in order to finalize the document.

Director Greenspan, seconded by Director Muñoz, moved the approval of the Memoranda of Understanding. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

D. Report on Amendments to the County Procurement Code and proposed interim procedures Ms. Haynes provided an update on recent revisions to the County’s Procurement Code, adopted by the County Board on September 7, 2011. To ensure that the System’s Procurement Policy remains consistent with the County’s Procurement Code, amendments to the System’s Procurement Policy to reflect these changes are expected to be presented to the System Board for approval in October. However, as most of the revisions to the County’s Procurement Code will go into effect on October 7th, and because the amendments to the System’s Procurement Policy have not yet been presented to and approved by the System Board, Ms. Haynes recommended that the System Board direct the System’s Director of Supply Chain Management, in consultation with counsel, to conform the System’s practices, to the extent deemed necessary, to the amended Procurement Code, beginning October 7th. Ms. Haynes noted that one of the revisions to the Procurement Code is to amend the authority of the Procurement Director to enter into contracts, subject to following an appropriate method of procurement, in amounts up to $150,000; currently, the limit of authority is $25,000 for professional services contracts and $100,000 for all other contracts. She stated that unless this Board elects to direct that the System proceed in a more conservative manner, the Board would approve transactions of $150,000 and greater, which would reduce the number of smaller transactions being presented to the Board. It also grants a broader authority to the Procurement Director to amend, extend, increase (within certain limits) and terminate contracts. The Board discussed the revision increasing the authority of the Procurement Director to enter into contracts in amounts up to $150,000. Director Carvalho noted that the System Board receives a quarterly report on these types of contracts executed under the authority of the Purchasing Director.

IV. Action Items

D. Report on Amendments to the County Procurement Code and proposed interim procedures (continued)

Director Carvalho, seconded by Director Greenspan, moved to direct the System’s Director of Supply Chain Management to conform practices as closely as possible to the new County Code, in consultation with counsel as to what may be necessary, beginning October 7, 2011, pending the presentation of the proposed Amendments to the System’s Procurement Policy to the System Board for their consideration in October. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

E. CCHHS Financial Statements and Combining Supplemental Schedules, as of and for the Year Ended November 30, 2010, and Independent Auditors’ Report

Michael Ayres, Consultant to the System, and Dorothy Loving, Executive Director of Finance, provided an overview of the items presented. The Board reviewed and discussed the information. Dan Howard, System Chief Information Officer, provided a brief update on the County’s activities regarding the selection of a time and attendance system and enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Once the Requests for Proposals (RFPs) are issued, it will likely take the County ninety days to six months to select a vendor for these systems; a good estimate of the total timeframe is one year.

Director Golden, seconded by Director Lyne, moved to receive and file the CCHHS Financial Statements and Combining Supplemental Schedules, as of and for the Year Ended November 30, 2010, and Independent Auditors’ Report. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

F. Contracts and Procurement Items (Attachment #3)

Nita Stith, Interim Deputy Director of Supply Chain, presented the requests for the Committee’s consideration. She stated that request number 2 is being withdrawn at this time, due to contract compliance issues. Dr. John O’Brien, System Chair of Planning, Education and Research, provided additional information regarding request number 1. Director Carvalho requested additional information on request number 3, regarding the commercially useful function fulfilled by JJC Group, Inc., with regard to contract compliance. With regard to request number 2, Director Carvalho inquired further as to the reason for the withdrawal of the request. Ms. Stith stated that the System is working through getting the plan for compliance validated with Contract Compliance; discussions are underway, but the matter was not finalized and completed in time for this meeting. Director Carvalho noted that the Board has scheduled a Special Meeting to approve the proposed CCHHS FY2012 Preliminary Budget on September 28th; he requested that this item be placed on the agenda for the Board’s consideration at the Special Board Meeting on September 28th.

Director Carvalho, seconded by Director Lyne, moved the approval of request numbers 1 and 3 under the Contracts and Procurement Items. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

The Board discussed the following subjects related to the matter: the infrastructure and resources needed to implement this program; the financial benefits gained in implementing this program; timeline for submission of waiver application and subsequent activities; and whether there are any risks to which the System could be exposed. Dr. Mason stated that further details and information will be provided to the Board, as the administration moves forward through the process. Dr. Mason congratulated Kimberly Velasquez, Director of Budget, who has announced that she will be retiring at the end of the month. He thanked her for her many years of service to the County.

A. Discussion of proposed CCHHS FY2012 Preliminary Budget

Note: this item was considered following the adjournment of closed session.

VII. Report from Interim Chief Executive Officer

A. Discussion of proposed CCHHS FY2012 Preliminary Budget (continued)

During the discussion regarding the comparison of the past several years of County subsidy amounts, Dr. Mason noted that, if one looks at what has been the subsidy that the County has enjoyed over the years, and takes out the funding for the Juvenile Temporary Detention Center and Cermak Health Services at the Department of Corrections, there’s only $72 million left to fund the entire rest of the System; he added that there used to be nearly $200 million for that purpose. Director Carvalho provided information on the County subsidy amounts for the past several years, as follows:

FY2002 - $225 million FY2003 - $188 million FY2004 - $187 million FY2005 – $204 million FY2006 - $244 million FY2007 - $275 million FY2008 - $436 million FY2009 - $472 million FY2010 - $386 million FY2011 - $272 million (excluding Account 899 – Fixed Charges in FY2011)

Dr. Mason noted that, until FY2011, the appropriation for Account 899-Fixed Charges was included in the County’s Budget, not the System’s Budget. Mr. Ayres provided additional information. He stated that last year, the County transferred $106 million from their expense to the System, and the System had to pay this expense through a reduced subsidy. With regard to the information that will be provided at the October 3rd Public Hearing before the County Board’s Finance Committee, Chairman Batts recommended that the presentation start with the historical numbers in a format that tracks this information and presents it for public consumption. Director Greenspan added that a chart that shows the actual subsidy available for care each year should also be provided.

Transmitting a Communication, dated September 13, 2011 from

Anna Ashcraft, Director, Real Estate Management Division

The Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court has requested temporary storage space for files and records it is mandated to store and maintain until space at the County's Hawthorn Warehouse facility is available.

Building "C" at the Oak Forest Hospital Campus has been vacant for some years. In order to avoid leasing additional space for this temporary need, thereby minimizing costs to the taxpayers, the County, with concurrence of the Health and Hospital Systems Board, intends to make this space available to the Clerk of the Circuit Court to meet this need until the build -out of the County's Hawthorne Warehouse facility is completed in late 2012.

Approval is recommended.

Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County Richard J. Daley Center, Room 1001 Chicago, Illinois 60602

Dear Clerk Brown:

This is in response to your letter of July 8, 2011, regarding the need for temporary storage space for files. We appreciate your patience and continued cooperation in the process of completing the Hawthorne Warehouse, which will provide what we hope will be a long-term solution to your storage needs.

To address your temporary space need, I have asked the Cook County Real Estate Management Division to investigate the options you proposed in your letter, as well as other solutions. Fortunately, space has been identified in a County-owned facility which can be made available quickly to accommodate the majority of this need, eliminating or greatly reducing the cost to taxpayers.

The solution we are proposing is as follows:

1. The County will clear all remaining salvage items from the ground floor of "Building C" at the Oak Forest Hospital Campus and make it available at no cost for your use until the Hawthorne Warehouse is completed. It is my understanding that your staff has inspected the area and determined that it will accommodate approximately 800 skids, or 32,000 boxes, of the 56,000 boxes for which space is needed this year. We will devote substantial County staff resources to clearing the space for your use, and delay any County or other use of the space until Hawthorne is available. Though staff informs me that this approach will require additional work on the part of your staff, it is my hope that with a combination of our resources we can avoid contracted services, thus avoiding cost to the taxpayer.

2. The Real Estate Management Division will continue to identify County-owned space and work to make it available. In addition, space may be identified through our continuing collaboration with the City of Chicago which could provide a low-cost option for this use.

3. If additional storage is still required, Real Estate Management will then proceed with either a short-term lease or a records storage facility arrangement such as you proposed in your letter. With the major portion of the files having been accommodated in County facilities, the cost incurred should be significantly reduced.

I want to thank you and your staff for your cooperation in this matter. The Real Estate Management Division, led by Ms. Anna Ashcraft, will continue to work with Mr. Moody to assure that you have the space necessary to fulfill your duties, while minimizing costs to the taxpayer.

Sincerely,

Toni Preckwinkle President

Re: Circuit Court Clerk Request for Additional Storage Space (Updated)

As you know, the Office of Capital Planning and Policy is in the process of renovating space at the County's Hawthorne Warehouse for use by the Clerk of the Circuit Court. It is anticipated that this build out will not be completed until the fall of 20 I 2.

By letter dated July 8, 2011, the Clerk of the Circuit Court informed the President that her office will need additional storage space for the accession of 2011 files (approximately 56,000 boxes or 1,400 skids) and bulk supplies starting in the fall of 2011, and will need to utilize that space until the Hawthorne Warehouse build~out project is completed. The Clerk requested that the County either lease space for this need, or retain records storage services. The locations proposed by the Clerk would cost between $150,000 to $220,000 per year.

Over the past three weeks the Real Estate Division has developed the following alternative approach to meeting this need.

Phase 1: Working with the Clerk's representatives, we have detennined that approximately 800 j'kids could be stored in Building C at Oak Forest Hospital. This will require assistance from the Bureau of Administration in clearing the salvage material that is stored at this location. This partial solution will relieve the immediate need and allow tiine to identify other County facilities with available space. The Clerk will store rarely­accessed files in this location.

Page 25: I. · Sandra Martell, RN, DNP – Cook County Department of ... Dan Howard, System Chief Information Officer, provided a brief update on the County’s activities regarding

Phase 2 The Bureau of Administration is accelerating salvage operations and working with departments to itnplen1ent appropriate records destruction, which we believe will make additional space available over the next few months. This effort could possibly accommodate 200 to 400 skids.

Phase 3: By October, we will determine whether non-County storage will be necessary and approximately how many skids must be accon1modated. Several options are available:

a) The first choice would be a stnall warehouse owned by the City of Chicago that we learned through our collaboration efforts could be made available. We will enter into discussions as to the cost of this solution, which would accozntnodate approximately 300 skids.

b) If 1nore space is still required, we can either lease space available on a short term basis at II N. Wabash or retain a records storage service. These options are smnmarized as follows, for storage of 400 skids (16,000 boxes):

i. 15,000 square feet is currently available at 11 N. Wabash on a month to month basis at $6.00 per square foot, or $90,000.00 for twelve xnonths.

ii. R4 Services Records Management: One time charge to code & inventory @$.95/box Monthly Storage @$.14 per box per month Total cost for one year

iii. Pickens J(anc Moving & Storage One time charge to code & inventory @$25/box Monthly Storage @$.15/box per month Total cost for one year

$15,200 $26.888 $42,080

This approach will keep the cost as low as possible and delay or avoid actions requiring Board approval. A one-page summary is attached for your use.

The Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court is happy that the County is moving forward with the build out of the Hawthorne Warehouse facility, which has recently been rescheduled to be completed in September 2012.

1) Lease war·cbouse space to accomm()date appt·oxinudely 56,000 boxes (or 1,400 sldds) on a monthly basis, from now until the Hawthorne Warehouse moveuht date, at an e.'timated tost of$18, 493.00 per month, or an estimated eost through September 2012 of $221,916.00;

2) Procure a service that would be responsible for the storage of the boxes in a slull'cd fncility, at an estimated cost of $7, 840.00 per month, or an estimated cost through September 2012 of $94~080.00.
