Hospital board to put another bond before voters

The Board of Directors of the Sonoma Valley Health Care District will meet on Tuesday this week to make a key decision about moving forward with the new hospital project.
CEO Carl Gerlach will report on development alternatives for the “In-Town” site at Fourth Street West and West MacArthur Street, which the hospital is acquiring from the Carinalli developers. The public is welcome to ask questions about the development plans and to provide input for consideration by the board.
Drafted for the board’s action is a resolution authorizing a vote in April by those residing in the hospital district, reaching from Schellville to Glen Ellen, on the issuance of general obligation (“G.O.”) bonds to fund the new construction. As before, the balloting would be by mail, with a two-thirds majority of those voting needed to pass the measure.
The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. in the Sonoma Community Center, 276 East Napa Street, Room 110, following a finance committee meeting at 5 p.m. in the same location, also open to the public. Live television coverage of the board meeting will begin at 6 p.m. on SVTV 27.
