Although the Hospital appreciates the City's prompt and diligent action on this

Hld three (3)namcswere submittedfOftbevacancyofMalcolmPage. The properI'rocedurepursuant to theAgreementwas forone (1) nominee tobe chosenby the City1rom each Jistof the two (2) listsproposedbythe Hospital. However,the Citychose its1wo (2)nomineesITomonly one (1) of the lists,both from the list of nominees chosenbytheHospimlfor Ron Stephani's vacancy.
Althoughthis wasmost certainlyan inadvertentoversighton the part of the Cityjnmaking its recommendations,wc fcel that the selectionprocesswas not in compliance,viththeAgreementbetweenCityofPerryandDoctors'MemorialHospitaLThepropercourse of action would have been to nominate one (1) representative fTomeach of the two
t2) lists provided. Not only would this accomplish the intention of the parties'j~greement,it would also allow increased facilitation for the new members into their
I'ositions on the Board of Directors for DMH.
Doctors' MemorialHospitalis gratefuland appreciativeof the support,patronage:lld aidprovidedby both the Cityof Perry andTaylorCounty. Weare also thankfulof
1tieinterestand timeput forth by bothagenciesin assistingin t~-$election of the]fospitaI's Board. While Doctors' MemorialHospitalwouldwelcome anynominees~ubmitted,subject to theBy-Lawsof Doctors' MemorialHospital,wemust make certaint!tatall provisionsof the controllingdocumentsare followedcorrectly. We wouldJequest that theCity of Peny re-visitthe nominationprocess and chooseone (l) nomineeIromeachof the two (2) lists submittedbythe Hospitalto assure compliancewith our, \.greement.
Doctors' MemorialHospitalthanks you for youraSs1stancend support, and looksJorward to working with the City ofPeny to prov1de the best qua1ityhealthcare for all
litizens of our communityfor years to come.
I look forward to working with you on this matter. Please call my office if youIlave any questions.
