The City apparently congratulated BCHD for 25 years of community service. Quite clearly, based on documents provided by BCHD via CPRA responses, the 25 year value is in error.
BCHD's 1993 resolution (attached), clearly shows that their outside counsel filed with the State of California in 1993 to create BCHD from SBHD. As such, BCHD and the City need to correct the 25 years to 30 years and explain BCHD's actions from 1993-1998. The current assertion by BCHD is clearly in legal error based on Mr. Lundy's firm's filing to create BCHD in 1993.
It's disappointing that BCHD appears to have provided false information to the public and City. It is also disappointing that the City has lost its collective institutional memory of BCHD's formation. For all of us who recall the fight to retain the emergency room and acute care hospital, the 1993 date is clear. The only taxpayer/voter approval that the District ever received was to create a hospital for the benefits of the "residents who reside" in the District.
That's a direct quote from the District's legal pleadings.
This error must be corrected to avoid misleading the public and entering incorrect City records into the minutes.

BCHD is touting its 25th anniversary of 1998-2023. Yet, BCHD's high-priced law firm filed documents on February 11, 1993 with the State creating BCHD from the wreckage of the former hospital district. How can we ever believe anything BCHD claims if it can't even get its own establishment date right?
