Mockery
EDITOR: The Board of Directors of PDHCD made a mockery of an important Public Meeting with their deceit and duplicity on Nov. 2. They spent precious time on a poorly written and inaccurate Resolution (No. 15-12) opposing the detachment of the Guerneville, Forestville and Monte Rio school districts from the Palm Drive Healthcare District. In the end, they unanimously passed a slightly edited version of the resolution.
Then, to add insult to injury, they removed Action item No. 8 from the agenda. This was regarding Resolution No. 15-14 informing Sonoma West Medical Center that they are out of compliance with the MSA requirement of financial reporting. This resolution should have been considered and discussed thoroughly. Instead, the Board accepted a last minute single page summary from Sonoma West Medical Center, Inc. and thereby dismissed the resolution entirely from the agenda.
If anyone wants to see a Board of Directors operate with complete disdain for the public that they are elected to serve, they need look no further than the Palm Drive Healthcare District Board of Directors.
