Committee Goals:
- Explore Legal and Financial Implications of Seismic Retrofit of the Hospital
- Achieve Brown Act Compliance
- Make recommendations to the MCHCD Board
All Planning committee work is advisory-only to the Board. Committee and Board involvement in business planning must be structured to adhere to public meeting requirements under the Brown Act and applicable law. Issues involving Adventist Health proprietary information will first occur at a staff-to-staff level to maintain protected proprietary rights.
The Planning committee will:

• Become familiar with capital expenditures and costs to maintain existing buildings;
  Perform proper financial oversight, defined in the lease agreement between Adventist Health and the District;
• Focus on consultation by engaging staff and qualified community members in reviewing hospital seismic retrofit and modernization plans;
• Engage with Adventist Health to outline potential facility retrofit and modernization models and timelines, and assess financial implications; 
• Conduct preliminary facilities retrofit/modernization discussions with the Community to outline potential facility models, including their costs, and the resulting impacts on district finances and the district's capacity to maintain and repair its hospital facilities;
• Report back to the Board, with recommendations on how to proceed with facilities seismic retrofit and modernization projects.
