The Jefferson Memorial Oversight Board met on Tuesday, August 13, 2013, in the JeffersonCity Hall. The Meeting was Called to Order by Chairman of the Board Ken Booker. Members of the Board include Booker, Don Miller, Bobby Carroll, Sue Hoke, Bill Newman and Wes Cowan.
The Board unanimously re elected sitting officers to serve another term. In addition to Chairman Booker, Vice Chair Bill Newman and Secretary Don Miller will continue to serve in their previous positions.
Jefferson County Mayor Palmieri and Jefferson County Attorney Churchwell addressed the Board concerning three pieces of property that Tennova, the current tenant under the existing hospital lease, requested to remove from the current lease agreement.
1810 Bishop Avenue, Jefferson City-currently subleased to Healthstar, Dr. Milligan and Carson-Newman, 107 East Main Street in Dandridge-currently vacant, and 126 W. Old Andrew Johnson Hwy, Jefferson City-currently subleased to Jefferson Rural Clinic were the three properties in question. With a proper Motion and 2nd, the Board Unanimously Approved amending the lease agreement to release the properties in question, which will revert back to Jefferson City and Jefferson County in joint ownership. A Resolution that will represent the 6th amendment to the hospital lease will be signed by the Board.
In other action, the Board postponed election of a medial staff member to the Jefferson Memorial Oversight Board, pending a recommendation. The Board Unanimously Approved decreasing the number of members that must be present for a quorum from 5 members to 4 members (which will go before the governing bodies).
