He stated he hoped the meeting would be able to agree on a proposal to give direction
to the Minister of Hospitals with regard to general and auxiliary and nursing home
boundaries
Mr King gave a brief report from the Three Hills Hospital, advising that
they had asked for approval from the Provincial Government to allow for establishment
of a Three Hills Auxiliary and Nursing Home Area with boundaries co- terminious with
the Three Hills General Hospital boundaries.
Mr Chapelski from the Drumheller General Hospital Board advised that they are
attempting to have the boundaries of the Auxiliary and Nursing Home area made
co- terminious with those of the general hospital board area
Mr Berdahl noted that the local councillor for the Three Hills area would like
to see a small boundary adjustment made between the Three Hills and Drumheller
General Hospital Districts, that being the northern boundary of the Drumheller
General Hospital area should be extended to follow the township line between
Townships 31 and 30 in a easterly direction
Mr H Faechner from the Drumheller Auxiliary and Nursing Home Board agreed they
would like to see their boundary co- terminious with that of the General Hospital
area, and noted that both the general hospital and auxiliary hospital boards would
likely be agreeable to a slight boundary change subject to receiving comments
about the change from the people in the area involved
Mr Frank Hoppins from the Trochu Hospital Board advised they would favour no
boundaries at all for hospitals but they would have no objection to making
the auxiliary and nursing home boundaries co- terminious with that of the
general hospital boundaries
Mr Hoppins also felt that the Auxiliary and Nursing Home boundaries should be
co- terminious with the M D. of Kneehill boundaries
Mr Ken Wright of the Mountainview Kneehill Auxiliary and Nursing Home Board
stated that for adminstrative purposes it would be beneficial to all for the
split between Mountain View and Kneehill to be made and the boundaries to be

of Mountain View. He further noted that the government is at this time asking
only for opinions

Walt Regehr from the Linden Nursing Home spoke briefly He noted that the Linden
Home is a private facility, but will accept people from outside the local
area and also that they do work very closely with the Three Hills General Hospita
Mr Jim Ramsbottom from the Drumheller General Hospital Board advised that
there had been unamious consent from all hospital boards not to requisition
municipalities, but further stated that this will likely be the fact
in the near future
He further stated that all boards should be discussing this matter with
their M L As' , to ask the province not to requisition local municipalities
for essential services
Mr King moved that this meeting advise Hospital Minister Dave Russell
this meeting is in opposition to any local hospital taxation for either
capital or operating purposes
Seconded by Mr. Frank Hoppins
Carried Unanimously
It was generally agreed that the Three Hills Hospital Board and the Drumheller
General and the Auxiliary Hospital Boards should get together to discuss
the possible boundary change, and all three boards should then submit letters
to the Minister advising they agree to the proposed boundary change, and
further that the Drumheller Auxiliary and Nursing Home area be co- terminious with
that of the Drumheller General Hospitalarea.
Mr Hoppins noted that the Elnora General Hospital Board seem to be willing to
straighten the boundaries between the Elnora and Trochu General Hospital areas,
and further that the Trochu Auxiliary and Nursing Home boundaries should be
co- terminious with the M D of Kneehill boundary
Mr Berdahl noted that the M D of Kneehill had written a letter to the Three Hills
and Olds General Hospitals as follows
" Moved that the M D would have no objections to the withdrawl of the
Three Hills Hospital District No 45 or the Olds General Hospital District NO 26
from the MountainView KNeehill Auxiliary Hospital and Nursing Home District NO
13, but feel that any hospital district boundaries in Kneehill should have
co- terminious boundaries with the M D and any hospital district boundaries in Mountain
View should have co - terminious boundaries with Mountain view boundaries
MM

Hospital Board asked that they be sent a copy of these minutes, and it was agreed
