RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT the amended Governing Authority Bylaws (“Bylaws”) for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers (“CCRMC”) to address legal and operational requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Board has adopted Bylaws for CCRMC, which provide the respective roles of the Board of Supervisors and Health Services Department in the operation and management of CCRMC. Additionally, the Bylaws set forth the function of the Joint Conference Committee (“JCC”) and the Professional Affairs Committee (“PAC”). The Bylaws are reviewed annually to address the legal and operational requirements of the CCRMC.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The amended Bylaws (Exhibit A), which are recommended for approval by the Board, were approved by the JCC at its meeting on December 9, 2019. In addition to various non-substantive changes to improve organization and clarity, the recommended changes to the bylaws include the following:

1. Alignment of the definitions in the Bylaws with those in the Medical Staff Bylaws;
2. Procedures to decide split votes;
3. Revision of the teleconference policy, consistent with legal requirements;
4. Appointment of voting-member alternates to ensure there is a quorum when a voting member is unable to participate; and
5. Clarification of the organization and role of the Professional Affairs Committee.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the amended Bylaws are not approved, the current Bylaws will remain in effect.
