LIMITED PUBLIC COMMENT None LATE ITEMS/DELETIONS/CONSENT ITEMS None FINANCIAL REPORTS Zoo Financial Report Director Wagner stated that the balance sheet ending April 30, 2020 shows the fund balance with $717,892 which is a decrease of $248,713. She stated that the revenue management system expenses in 2020 equaled $110,000 of that $248,713 decrease. She also shared there had been no revenue other than tax revenue since March 13, 2020. Director Wagner stated she estimated the net loss in May to be close to $250,000 and if the zoo remained closed in June it could be an additional $300,000. ATTENDANCE REPORT Director Wagner stated the zoo had been closed since March 14, 2020 so admission numbers were down in March compared to 2019. There will not be an admission report for April as there was no attendance. MINUTES OF THE MEETING Potter Park Zoo Board May 15, 2020 Page 2 ZOO DIRECTOR REPORT Directors Wagner and Morris then reviewed major elements of their report: • All centennial activities are postponed until 2021. o Historical walking tour signs are printed and will be installed for the remainder of 2020 and will stay in place in 2021. • AZA announced they have extended accreditation by one year for all facilities currently accredited. • The Zoological Society employees will be employed with funding from the PPP loan until June 19. Starting June 20 most of the Society employees will be laid off. All education programming and events are cancelled until further notice. The Society is not pursuing any loans at this time and Ms. Morris-Hall is working closely an accounting consultant during this time. o Chair Groen stated Ms. Morris-Hall is doing good and he is sorry this has happened. o Ms. Leys stated they are doing the best they can. o Chair Groen asked if the Society had come up with several budget scenarios. Ms. Morris stated they had, but worst-case scenario is there is not enough money to have the Society continue the functions as it was previously. Chair Groen asked when the County would do budget adjustments and Director Wagner stated she believed they are done quarterly. • All zoo employees are required to complete a health screen prior to starting work each day. The screening process was provided by the Ingham County Health Department. • All staff have been provided 200 hours of paid time to be used for COVID-19 related absences in 2020. • Seasonals are difficult to hire right now due to limited applicants, longer hiring process, and uncertainty with start times. • AZA facilities are sharing protocols and information about their experiences reopening. Director Wagner stated she believes this has been the most cooperative time she has experienced among AZA facilities. • Zoo Volunteers are making hundreds of cloth masks for staff to use at the zoo. • The otter pup names that won the naming contest were Mack and Potter. The contest raised over $5,000 for the Society. NEW BUSINESS Zoo Reopening Plan Director Wagner shared that she had been working on a reopen plan with the zoo leadership team. This plan is a phased approach organized using the stacked approach of personal controls, administrative controls, engineering controls, and public health controls. Ingham County is also providing all departments with a return to work plan that the zoo will adopt and then build off of with protocols that are specific to the zoo. Ms. Wagner also shared that the zoo is working closely with Ingham County Parks to ensure Potter Park protocols are in line with all parks. The zoo specific plan includes: • Limiting services – no behind the scenes encounters/tours, no interns or teen keepers, no animal encounters in phase 1 (pony path, contact area, camel rides, and wings of wonder), no keeper talks or scheduled Page 2 MINUTES OF THE MEETING Potter Park Zoo Board May 15, 2020 Page 3 enrichments, close all buildings (feline/primate, bird house, gift shop, wolf cabin, discovery center), gift shop sales outdoors only, limited food service • No outside food or beverage allowed in the zoo • Paw prints painted 6’ apart throughout the zoo and at viewing areas • Blocking off unnecessary paths to highly encourage one-way traffic (will not be enforced) • Timed ticketing • Enhanced sanitization schedules • Increased communication with members, press, social media, and staff leading up to opening and immediately following opening • Removing unnecessary touch points (face boards, wind tunnel, photo booth, extra picnic tables, exit turnstile, etc.) Discussion ensued OLD BUSINESS Strategy Subcommittee No report External Relations Subcommittee No report Financial Sustainability Subcommittee No report BOARD COMMENTS Chair Groen stated this is not an easy situation and that he appreciates Director Wagner’s and Ms. Morris-Hall’s leadership.

  • 2019 - 2021 EW Sparrow Hospital Community Health Needs Assessment
    2019 - 2021 EW Sparrow Hospital Community Health Needs Assessment Prepared by the Michigan Public Health Institute Acknowledgements Every three years the Community Health Needs Assessment focuses an essential light on issues of disparity for the underinsured, impoverished, and disadvantaged of the mid-Michigan region. This important work would not be possible without the collective efforts of the Healthy! Capital Counties collaborative. We are grateful to our partners at Ingham County Health Department, Barry-Eaton District Health Department, and Mid-Michigan District Health Department for engaging stakeholders throughout Clinton, Ingham, and Eaton Counties in the Community Health Improvement Process. Healthy! Capital Counties played an integral role in convening key representatives from a diverse group of organizations to prioritize the identified health needs of residents in the service area, across the entire socioeconomic spectrum. This report would not have been possible without their knowledge, experience, and ability to meaningfully connect with the people who live and work in this region. Their work is the basis for Sparrow Health System’s Community Health Needs Assessment report, which seeks to address the disparities within our local population regarding how healthy we are, what health conditions we suffer from, and the root causes of those health problems. This allows Sparrow Health System to create and implement strategies that advance our mission to provide quality, compassionate care to everyone, every time. We would also like to offer our sincere thanks to the many individuals who participated in the focus groups and key informant interviews conducted by the Michigan Public Health Institute. These individuals shared experiences from their personal and professional lives that allowed Sparrow Health System to delve even deeper into high priority health issues.
