of facilities at the Memorial Hospital and
Memorial Health Care Center facilities.
The proposed bond project will total
128,450 sq ft, of which 81,020 sq ft
will be new construction, according to
information provided by SHD officials.
According to Briscoe, aside from the
new construction, "95-percent" of the
Memorial Hospital campus will see
some sort of renovation as part of the
bond project.
SHD and project officials, with the
passage of the bond, anticipate to begin
work on the project in "September or
October" of this year, and anticipate
a 24-month work schedule for
completion.
In a breakdown of the May 11
election results, the seven-day early
voting process proved to carry the
hospital's bond quest, as 298 local
voters voted "for" the measure -
totaling 57.31-percent — while 222
voters (42.69-percent) voted against
the measure.
On election day, 170 SHD voters
cast ballots "against" the hospital bond
proposal—totaling 58.42-percent of the
election day turnout - while 121 local
residents (41.58-percent) voted in favor
of the measure.
Project plans call for the construction
of a new three-level emergency/
operating room wing facility adjacent to
the current emergency room facility at
Memorial Hospital, according to a Feb.
18 project presentation to SHD board
members.
McKinstry officials - a full-service
design, build, operate and maintain
(DBOM) firm hired by the local hospital
district for the design/development
work for the project - are proposing the
construction of a basement level to the
new addition, which would house the
hospital district's information technology
department, emergency room on-call
doctor's living quarters, mechanical
room and clean storage facilities.
Ground level facilities for the new
addition would feature the hospital's
emergency room facility, which would
include four ER patient rooms, one
cardiac room, two trauma rooms, one
isolation room, two storage rooms,
three treatment rooms, and four urgent
care rooms. In addition, the ER facility
would see an enlarged waiting area,
with a holding capacity of 35-to-40
people, and separate patient entrances
for emergency personnel and patients/
viators.
The second level of the facility would
house the hospital's operating room
deparment, complete with two full-sized
operating room and one Caesarean
section operating room, which could
easily convert over to a full operating
room in the event of additional surgical
needs.
General patient rooms for the facility
would remain on the ground level of
the hospital's floor plans, according
to drawings presented in Monday's
meeting, while an expanded Labor/
Delivery Dept, and Outpatient Surgery
wing would be constructed on top of
the campus' current patient wings.
Additions at the Memorial Health
Care Center will see the addition of
16 new rooms, broken into four, four-
patient pods," which would have
the capability of housing Alzheimer's
patients.
The additions, according to hospital
district officials, will not change the local
facility's Medicare designation of being
a "Critical Access Hospital," which
limits the facility to just 25 patient beds,
according to Medicare reimbursement
guidelines.
Seminole Hospital District officials,
during the bond campaign process,
proposed a 6.5-centper $100-valuation
interest and sinking - or also known as
a debt service - tax rate would be put
in place if SHD taxpayers approved of
the bond.
The proposed rate, according to
SHD officials and figures produced
by the financial firm of FirstSouthwest,
are based on estimated taxable values
ranging between $5.5 and $6.5 billion
for the upcoming 2014 tax year,
as assessed by the Gaines County
Appraisal District.
In a break down of bond figures
provided by the hospital district, a SHD
homeowner with a home valued at
$100,000 would see an annual tax
increase of $65 in property taxes,
based on the proposed 6.5-cent per
$100-valuation debt service tax rate.
Monthly, that increase would amount
to $5.42 under the proposed figures.
For farmers and large land owners
within the SHD boundaries, the tax
increase would cost 29-cents per 1
acre of irrigated land and 9-cents per
1 acre of non-irrigated land, under the
proposed 6.5-cent per $100-valuation
rate figures.
