PPH Meetings and Operations in Mid-October
PPH will have some interesting activities and meetings related to the hospital expansion over the next several weeks.
On Monday, October 10, the PPH Facilities and Grounds Committee will meet at 1:30-3 pm. Agenda items of interest include #4 - CEQA Finding for New Site. CEQA stands for California Environmental Quality Act. The meeting will be held at the PPH Corporate Office, 15525 Innovation Dr., Conference Room A. This meeting was originally scheduled for September 19 at Palomar Medical Center in Escondido.
On Tuesday, October 11, the 30-day public review and comment period ends for expansion at the Pomerado Hospital site. The article at the following link provides more information.

As reported in the North County Times, the "district's contract with JRMC requires hospital officials to negotiate a deal by Oct. 14 that would let McCann's company build up to 300,000 square feet of office space and parking around the new hospital." Link to article:

Note that it was PPH that set October 14 as the deadline. "Correction: Wrong deadline in PPH story. An article that ran Wednesday [Sept. 7] about a pending development agreement between Palomar Pomerado Health and JRMC Real Estate incorrectly stated the time line of those negotiations. The two parties have a deadline of Oct. 14 to reach an agreement on building a medical complex in the Escondido Research and Technology Center, hospital officials said. We apologize."

On October 17, the PPH Board will hold a rescheduled regular meeting (the original meeting date was October 10). At that meeting, Mr. Covert will provide an update to the Board on the progress of negotiations with City of Escondido on infrastructure improvements for the ERTC site, and on the downtown site redevelopment plan, and on the results of negotiations with JRM-ERTC on the developer participation agreement for 300,000 sq. ft. of medical office buildings at the ERTC site.
"And in what they called an effort to keep their options open, the [PPH] board decided to continue discussions with the owner of an 80-acre site in neighboring San Marcos, in case the Escondido land cannot be used or negotiations with the city fall through." Link to article:

PPH has refused to comment on whether PPH will move to San Marcos if the negotiations fall through with JRM-ERTC.
On October 19, Mr. Covert will be in San Marcos. As reported in Today's Local News, Sunday, 10/02/2005, page A-4 under Briefs:
