Commissioner Kirby moved to go into executive session pursuant to Idaho Code 74-206(1)b, to consider the evaluation, dismissal or disciplining of, or to hear complaints or charges brought against, a public officer, employee, staff member or individual agent, or public school student. Chairman Dinning yielded the chair to second. Commissioners voted as follows: Chairman Dinning “aye” and Commissioner Kirby “aye”. Motion passed unanimously.

1:30 p.m., Restorium Administrator Karlene Magee and Assistant Administrator Pam Barton joined the meeting to update Commissioners on Restorium matters. Ms. Barton reviewed Restorium statistics as far as employee hours worked, food costs, etc. Chairman Dinning said the information presented is wonderful. The current resident count is 37. Medicaid has a new billing system so once paperwork is completed the Restorium can bill through Blue Cross instead of Medicaid.
Commissioners, Ms. Barton and Ms. Magee discussed a matter regarding a claim that was denied having to do with work done by Bonners Ferry Builders for leaks that were found, etc. Ms. Magee spoke of asking for an invoice for work done in the nurse’s office and how the bay window now accommodates a heating/cooling unit. That work was completed and paid for, according to Ms. Magee. Ms. Magee said she is asking for a revised estimate for needed kitchen repairs, but to change the estimate to include stainless steel countertops. Ms. Magee said she didn’t get the bid until September 17th so she couldn’t submit it for that time. Those present discussed the sprinkler system at the Restorium having issues with freezing, which caused other problems. These are issues that were budgeted for this last year. Ms. Magee said they weren’t going to submit the payment until the job was completed. Chairman Dinning said Commissioners had heard that a contractor was paid prior to the work being done. Chairman Dinning explained how in the past other departments would spend their budget at the end of the year just to spend it and he urged Ms. Magee and Ms. Barton not to get into doing that. Ms. Magee spoke of having to prioritize the projects and they are very cautious with the Restorium budget so she doesn’t want Commissioners to think they are trying to slip things by. Chairman Dinning said to find out the costs of the projects so they can be discussed at the next meeting. Ms. Magee informed Commissioners that the amount anticipated for revenue was exceeded.
Commissioners said to go ahead and fix the leak at a cost of approximately $3,500, have the phone set up at the nurse’s station for a cost of $2,980, and repair the flooring issue at the cost of $500.
Those present discussed a matter pertaining to food storage such the need for employees to keep their food separate from residents’ food, etc. Ms. Magee and Ms. Barton informed Commissioners of the Medicaid rate increase.
The meeting with Ms. Barton and Ms. Magee ended at 2:20 p.m.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 2:20 p.m.
