COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT

Meeting Date: December 9,2013 ��
d ,
From: James Hunt,City Manager
Agenda Item: Community Health Center Employees to be Employees of gLgS1l�p'
the City of Seward
BACKGROUND&JUSTIFICATION:
The City of Seward and the Seward Community Health Center (SCHC) Board are co-applicants in the
newly funded Section 330 federally qualified health center (FQHC) in Seward. As the entities work
together to improve access to primary healthcare in Seward, it appears that City employment of the
SCHC employees will help to strengthen the safety net of the newly established clinic, improving the
opportunity for the clinic to recruit and retain qualified employees, and giving the clinic a strong
foundation on which to begin operation. In particular, employees will have access to City health
insurance and other benefits, which are considered to be attractive benefits for prospective clinic
employees. SCHC employees are expressly not to be included in the Public Employees Retirement
System. The City may offer additional support to the SCHC, if approved by Council resolution, in the
form of human resource assistance,processing payroll and accounts payables, general administrative and
legal support, and other requested support as may be requested by SCHC, and as the City staff is able to
provide.
The Seward City Council authorized the creation of the Seward Community Health Center (SCHC) and
Board (Board) when it enacted Ordinance 2010-008 in December, 2010, formalizing the powers and
duties of the Board. Since that time, the SCHC has become a 501(C)(3) non-profit corporation, now
subject to its own bylaws and federal requirements of Section 330, so many of the provisions of the
Ordinance which established the SCHC Board are now in conflict with the bylaws of the organization
and the requirements of federal regulations. For that reason, it is important to update the Ordinance to
reflect the new legal status of the SCHC, as well as to address the status of the employees of the clinic as
City employees.
The SCHC Board has requested that the City Council employ the clinic employees for the initial period
of start-up, and that the issue of employment be revisited within the next few years,to determine whether
it is possible for the SCHC clinic to stand-alone and employ providers and employees on its own. For
that reason, this Ordinance authorizes the employees of the clinic to be non-PERS City employees for a
limited period of time,to give the Council and the Board the opportunity to revisit this issue in the future.
INTENT:
The intent of this action is to authorize the employees of the Seward Community Health Center to be
employees of the City for a limited period of time. This issue will be revisited by the City Council and
Seward Community Health Center Board in the future. The employees of the clinic will be entirely
subject to the personnel and employment policies of the SCHC rather than the City's personnel policies,
and the SCHC will be solely responsible for all aspects of employment of SCHC employees, to include
wage and salary structure (pay scale, merit increases, cola, etc.), personnel administration, hiring,
training, supervision, discipline,grievances,termination,etc. The Seward City Council will not have any
involvement in employment matters of the SCHC other than if the Ordinance authorizes Council to
authorize the selection of the executive director by the SCHC Board. Neither will the city manager of the
City have any involvement in employment matters of the SCHC.

AGENDA STATEMENT /t < 1,
Meeting Date: December 16,2013
4140•1*
From: James Hunt,City Manager •
Agenda Item: Intent to Exercise Right to Hire Executive Director of Seward Community Health Center
BACKGROUND&JUSTIFICATION:
The City of Seward and the Seward Community Health Center (SCHC) Board are co-applicants in the newly funded
Section 330 federally qualified health center (FQHC) in Seward. The SCHC Board was initially established in
accordance with Ordinance 2010-008 passed on December 13, 2010 after introduction on November 22, 2010.
Ordinance 2010-008 established in Seward City Code 2.40.040(B) that "The City Council shall have the right to
approve the selection of an Executive Director of SCHC."
The City Code and a number of City contracts provide for certain rights that the City may elect to exercise. There are
times when the City has not elected to exercise certain of those rights, for a myriad of reasons. In order to avoid
establishing precedent whereby the City's right to take a particular action is misconstrued as a requirement to take a
particular action,the City Council is asked to express whether or not it desires to exercise this right.
At the City Council meeting of December 10, 2013,the Seward City Council voted 4-2 in favor of amending proposed
Ordinance 2013-013 to eliminate the provision whereby the City has the right to approve the selection of an executive
director of Seward Community Health Center. This may be interpreted to mean that the City Council prefers not to
exercise this particular right at this time. It is for that reason that the attached resolution is forwarded for
consideration.
INTENT:
The intent of this action is to determine whether the City Council intends to exercise its right to approve the executive
director of the Seward CHC. More importantly, the intent is to avoid establishing a precedent whereby the City's
right to take a particular action is misconstrued as a requirement to take a particular action. Further, if the Council is
asked to act on a resolution to approve the selection of an executive director of the SCHC, but the Council would
prefer not to exercise this right, the Council is faced with a dilemma to either vote in favor, or not in favor, of the
selection of the executive director. To vote in favor is to exercise a right that they may wish not to exercise. To vote
opposed, will inadvertently reflect on the candidate. This resolution provides an intermediate opportunity for the
Council to bifurcate the two issues and address them separately.

Seward, AK 99664
Dear Mr. Hunt and Ms. Beaks,
Please accept this letter as my interest in serving as the CEO for the proposed
Community Health Center in Seward, Alaska.
I have over eight (8) years' worth of experience as CEO/ED for community health
centers and over 25 years' worth of experience as CEO/ED for a number of non-profit
social service organizations ranging from child care to domestic violence to health care.
My management experiences include serving as ED for the Wyoming Primary Care
Association, during which time I worked closely with the State Primary Care
Organization, National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), BPHC and
HRSA, as well as other State and Federal stakeholders. My most relevant experience
was serving as the CEO for the Cheyenne Health and Wellness Center, a new start-up
CHC in 2004, so I possess experience needed in starting a center from the ground up. I
have extensive experience working with non-profit boards on board development,
resource development, strategic planning, risk management and assessment planning.
Another area of expertise is in grants management, from writing and reporting on grants
to the development of grant RFPs and the review and dispersement of State and
Federal grant dollars and monitoring of grant recipients.
My CV identifies my education, skills and additional relevant experiences.
Sincerely,
Sharon/
