Over the "Big Top" : KVHD Protecting another CEO

Sometimes I feel like I'm standing in the middle of a firehouse yelling "Theatre." --- Me

ACT ONE: THE CEO SEVERANCE PACKAGE

NOvember Kern ValleY Healthcare District Board Meeting

"A Question of Quorum..."

BACKGROUND: CEO Tim McGlew, three years at the helm of KVHD, member if the California Hospital Association, and he forgot to wear his protection: SEVERANCE PACKAGE.

McGlew, simply stated he wanted to ensure his needs were protected, these three years later, and a new mixture in the hospital batter box, would prove to make him more vulnerable to such things as truth or scrutiny, as there was a comfort in his former quorum on the board of directors.

Not that he is fired, but in case of Fire, he has some of his $250K salary, for at least a year, until he finds new employment.

Never an emotional speaker, McGlew, showed tears welled in his eyes, as the CEO with the three years of raises to a higher than average hospital salary, was defended by his Amigos, now Former Chairwoman of the board, Victoria Alwin, Former radio Board Blowhard, Bob Jamison, and Re-elected Doctor Gross, along with David Derr, Advocated for the security of the administrator's salary.


McGlew Shown above, asking for a full year salary, The CEO was visibly shaken as the board discussed his "package?" lol

 David Derr, returning to the melee after his election in 2010, pitched a six month package for McGlew, allowing for some room to reduce the actual costs to the hospital both in dollars, and sense or sense-ability considering the financial climate.

But even that crumb was trampled upon as the dollars have Donoughts and sugar is their candy, so was this offer passed on, and the 12 month dealing began.

Dr. Robert Gross, DO, looks on as his days of Wine and Rosey future stocks in this market of mayhem, could be altered before the year begins.

My question, and will find answers, is exactly, I"VE ASKED nicely and DIRECTLY, what are all his Financial Dealings with KVHD?

He has the SNF, the Acute, ER? Surgery, his PA, Sienna Wellness, and was directing the Rural Health Clinic at one point. Why is there DIRECT answer to this lingering question of how much has he invested?

Gross told the audience that this Healthcare is a "business" but what about this business of his board and breakfast at KVHD? Inquiring minds know there's more to this soup than just the brothel.

 Former Chairwoman, Victoria Alwin, leaves a legacy of "Time Keeping" or the three minute timer, shutting off comments, faucets flowing with facts the board and administrators had been previously able to deflect with her shelter.

She gave her last gift to the CEO, beginning the discussion of a severance package, justifying it's "timely" nature as nothing. A typical plan, nothing to get the community alarmed about. Politics? Oh no, hush, you naysayers. lol

 Cal Mtg. our friends, our bonded by debt and misfortune, keepers of the money pit called KVHD, were invoked into the matter.

Even when CFO, Chester N. Beedle, record keeper for the Debt ridden hospital, claims there are monies accounted for, books are balanced, there is DISREGARD for the real owners of KVHD: THE 24 year old bond debt serviced by Cal Mtg.

Beedle and McGlew, are beholding to the holders of this mortgaged morgue of humanity, and the name slid into the paperwork.

McGlew would get no pay if there were severance from Cal Mtg. and they could have, should have, severed a long time ago with KVHD, as there were passed along a license to steal the hope of a better day for the Kern Valley residents.

They let the reins of terror descend on this valley, by not watching, not alerting, not even stirring until the coffee has boiled over.

NO GOB. No bail out with community tax monies in the general obligation arena. The trust has gone bust.

No money from the community to pay a debt that should be to society as a whole for allowing this meltdown to continue, Chair Noble, or electric, I say.

Next week on the Mayan calendar, the Illusive KVHD monthly board meeting, Wed. Dec. 5th, at 5:30 PM in the Cafeteria at the hospital in Mt. Mesa. 

Newly elected board member, Tom Wright, and former and "renewed" memeber Barbara Casas, join the board mix upcoming as the climate change continues..............

Kern Valley Healthcare DIStrict Board of Directors MEEting: SEPT. 5, 2012

This WEek the Kern Valley Healthcare D"istrict in it's Transparent Monthly meeting forum, Will be bringing news to it's valley residents and Patient pool, the new Salary Increase for KVHD CEO, Timothy McGlew.

McGlew, who came to the Kern River Valley, following the sudden resignation of former CEO, and avid "solitaire" fan, Rick Carter, who resigned shortly into his Kern River Valley career, and Salary, with benefits including Travel, planes, trains and a Stipend for lunch.

When Residents thought the 175K a year salary given Carter for his time at the Helm of KVHD, along with his Fringe benefits, would by them a grand leader,Along Came Tim MCglew, whose salary has Eclipsed them all.

This Month, McGlew will see his salary again Ascend into an Atmosphere of "AUSTERITY" every where in Goverment, EXCEPT: KVHD.

THe Ceo, MCGlew, coming from a background with the HOME FOR JEWISH PARENTS, and a Project of substantial worth, working with KVHD Debt Control PRogram, CAl MTG. who CONTROLS the Hospital's bond indenture, was FAMILiAR with McGlew. They had Worked with him on a project for the HJP, to the tune of 60 million.

Though 60 million is a STarter figure,  at the Jewish home, this was a Real figure that has been pAID out at KVHD. The tiny community hospital has paid out over 60 million on the DEBT related to the 1988, BOND INDENTURE, it was afforded by CAL MTG.

In return the community, comprised of a demographic of mostly retired persons, disabled, and elderly residents, were mired in controversy starting with a nursing Center which was projected to contain 140 beds and constructed only half that at 70, but at the twice the projected cost. Residents are repeatedly asked to BAIL out the hospital with a tax themselves measure.

BAil OUT and RAise the SAlARy in the same breath, has been the attitude of the recent regime run by Mcglew.

McGlew, has spoken of the Home for Jewish PArents construction project and his RELATIONSHIP with CAL MTG. Debt holder, however, McGlew has avoided questions as to this subject when it did not relate directly to the KVHD bailout attempted in 2010.

McGlew, and Board member, Bob Jamison, as the radio Disc JOck, took the CEO and CFO, Chet Beedle aboard his Radio talk show and Shook the town down for votes on tax "MEASURE "G" for McGlew two years ago.

Expanding the KVHD hospital has been set aside until 2014, when the hospital strategic plan has scheduled an other attempt at getting help by having local tax payers, pay more in  property taxes.

Mcglew and KVH D CFO, CHet Beedle, both, in 2010, urged community leaders to support their Measure G, and CLAIMED to have 80 percent Community support to do this. After the Ballots were counted there was a Sigh of Disbelief as the "TAX AND SNIFF" measure apparently did not appeal to local KNoses.

The CEO, will share his new salary level this week at the TRanslucent or parent or whatever, meeting.

The KVHD BOD meeting begins at 5:30 pm on WEd. Sept. 5th, in the Cafeteria.

Also, on the menu this week, is a peek a the top echelon, Who has THE STrings aNd Where Do they ATTACH ? CAL Mtg. is the Special this week, imposing a sTANdard, of DEBT resolution, that eXTends into the Future, the INTEREST goes on, at a rate we cannot afford to pay.
