Also present were:
Robert Graves
Carol Spilman

The meeting was called to order at 4: 05 p.m. by Chairman C. J.
Wollett. He presented the minutes of the October 28, 1981, meeting which
had been mailed to the members of the Authority. Upon hearing no
correotions or additions, he declared the minutes approved.
ITEM '3 - Bu.siDeaa.
Chairman Wollett read into the record a letter dated November 2, 1981,
signed by Duane T. Houtz, President of the Morton F. Plant Hospital
Association, offioially adVising the Authority that a Certificate of Need
had been submitted.
Mr. Graves reported that the Florida Gulf Health Systems Agency would
make a deoision on January 25, 1982 and a two-volume application had been
submitted. There were five other hospitals also applying. Morton F. Plant
Hospi tal's application had two local deficiencies and six state
deficiencies which are a low count and ore ate no problem.
On January 11, 1982, a public hearing will be held before the local
agency and all six applicants will be allowed a ten-minute presentation.
The local H.S.A. will hold a full board meeting on January 25, 1982, and
make their decision. The application then goes to the Department of
Housing and Rehabilitative Services of the State, and the final decision
should be nanded down by the end of February. At that time, any applicant
may appeal the decision to a hearing offioer and a further appeal may be
made to the courts for any teohnical problem only. The process should be
oompleted by the end of March.
In response, Mr. Graves stated F.G.H.S.A. has oertified a need for 60
additional beds. The state department will not approve a hospital for less
than 100 beds, so Morton Plant will delete 40 beds from their present
facility in order to build the 100-bed facility in Countryside. A 60-bed
hospital cannot be run efficiently. There is much support in the community
for the faoility and the bond issue shOUld be floated in the fall of 1982.
Mr. Graves suggested the Authority have a representative group at the
January 11, 1982, public hearing, to observe.
The Authority will be apprised of developments as they ooour. The
hospital proposes to place a small sign, eight-foot by ten-foot, on the
property where they propose the faoility to say, "Morton F. Plant Hospital
and Countryside - A Partnership for Better Health on this Proposed Site for
Countryside Hospital."

Ms. Spilman was introduced and responded to questions of the Authority
members on establishing a trauma oenter. The nearest trauma oenter at this

physioans around-the-clock.

Catheterization Laboratory and Cardia-Pulmonary Intensive Care Unit for
open heart surgery recovery, the Lykes Cancer Center, the CAT Scanner, and
the obstetrics unit. The Countryside Hoapi tal will be a ful1-servioe

Plant.
