Hospital memo moved to old business while county attorney adds liability language

The board moved a hospital memo into old business at its July 9, 2026 meeting after a county staff member reported the county attorney's office is preparing additional liability and indemnification language. The staff member stated: “And the county attorney's office is working on adding some liability and indemnification language to that. So it's not ready yet.” The chair agreed to move the item into old business for later consideration.

No formal motion to approve or modify the memo was made at this meeting; the board did not take a substantive vote on the hospital item and directed that it remain on an upcoming agenda once the county attorney’s office finishes the review. The transcript does not specify the exact legal language under consideration, any proposed deadlines for returning the item to the board, or the mover/second who proposed the referral.
