Board hires BKD to review the Indigent Care Agreement
An ad hoc subcommittee formed late in 2020 to do due diligence on the Indigent Care Agreement interviewed two firms and recommended BKD on February 2, 2021; the board authorized contract negotiations. On February 23, 2021 it approved the engagement letter, pending the City Attorney's approval, after the City's lawyers asked that an indemnification clause and a confidentiality provision be changed.[1][2]
