Board discussion with several board members expressing desire to pursue system-wide Smoke-Free (Tobacco-Free) campuses and properties. Board tabled further action for approximately 6 months to the February 2009 Governance Committee meeting while requesting Administration continue its efforts to reduce smoking use among LMHS employees.
SPECIFIC PROPOSED MOTION:
Establish a system-wide committee to develop a plan for Tobacco-Free campuses/properties. Tobacco-free includes all uses of tobacco whether smoked or chewed. The planning process would include a board member, physician, management, clinical and non-clinical staff, Auxilian (volunteer) and community representatives. Report back to the LMHS Board of Directors through either the Quality or Planning Committee no later than March with a specific recommendation including a date for implementation.
PROS TO RECOMMENDATION
Based on research of other health system successful implementation of tobacco-free campuses/properties requires a well designed, comprehensive program with adequate time to implement and stakeholders input to assure program acceptance and sustainability.
CONS TO RECOMMENDATION
Program planning will result in a time period that may or may not be acceptable to board members.
LIST AND EXPLAIN ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
LMHS has done considerable research of other health care organizations’ tobacco free campuses/properties reviewing the pros and cons and opportunities for success. Rapid or not well planned/communicated tobacco-free programs have resulted in a high degree of failure.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Budgeted ____ Non-Budgeted _X___ (including cash flow statement, projected cash flow, balance sheet and income statement) Program recommendation will include a financial analysis, budget proposal, and educational and preliminary promotional plan.
OPERATIONAL IMPLICATIONS (including FTEs, facility needs, etc.)
A system wide program plan will take considerable time and resources to develop.
SUMMARY
A comprehensive program plan is needed for the Board of Directors to decide if, when and how LMHS is to achieve Tobacco-Free Campuses and all health system properties. Approval of a process to finalize this plan is requested at the Governance Committee.

Memorandum TO: Lee Memorial Health System Board of Directors FROM: James T. Humphrey, Board Counsel
DATE: January 27, 2009
RE: Extension of Employment Agreement with the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Consistent with the existing employment agreement between the Board and Jim Nathan,
the prior Chairman, with my assistance, had been negotiating both the renewal of the existing agreement as well as a new agreement. The Chairman initially desired to have a new agreement which recognized the significant increase in Jim’s responsibility as well as his accomplishments on behalf of the System. However, during the negotiations Jim indicated a willingness to extend the existing agreement for a term of five (5) years. He is agreeable to keeping the supplemental benefits at the same amounts as set forth in Section 4.5 of the agreement.
During the term of the existing agreement, Jim has met or exceeded the performance expectations set forth by the Board and has performed all of the duties required of him by reason of his employment as President and CEO. He also has served as President and CEO of all subsidiary corporations and promoted a positive image of the System within the Community. As with all LMHS management this year due to the economic challenges of our community, there has been no authorization of any increase in Jim’s compensation.
A copy of the existing Employment Agreement is enclosed together with a proposed Renewal of Employment Agreement for the Board’s consideration.

force and effect for an extended period of five (5) years.
