   Management Report
   
   a. Operations: Scavotto reviewed operations for May and June. Census remains a continuing concern. May’s performance was good, given the soft census; June showed a small loss ($1,300 largely due to lower Medicare per diem). The IGT deal has been signed but no funds have been received yet. Cash balance remains strong.
   
   Budgeting for next year is underway. Census level is projected at 178. Scavotto will get a updates out to the Directors throughout the process.

Extended discussion ensued about the IDPH survey and the subsequent staff training and sensitivity to abuse cases. There was strong sentiment that we need to involve the union communication channels, both formal and informal, to make sure staff understand the importance of how to behave in abuse situations.

b. Executive Session: The Board went into Executive Session at 8:00 am to discuss personnel matters. (Motion Richter, second Dubin, unanimous) The Board emerged from Executive Session at 8:15 am on motion by Heinisch, second Kloster.

c.  Second Amendment to Management Contract:  On motion by Heinisch, second Richter, the Board passed the Second Amendment as submitted (unanimous)

 
 Next meeting: September 17, 2003

 
Respectfully submitted,
