regarding the Pacific Community Hospital
from the owner of Johah's Whale
David Begalo Samaritan Pacific Community Hospital 930 SW Abby 97365
State Rep. David Gomberg D-1O 900 court St. H-371 Salem Or. 97301
GOV. Kate Brown 160 State Capitol 900 Court Street Salem OR 97301
Proposal for Process Improvements:
Situation: Bond measure 21-63 held on May 19, 2015 for a $56,000,000. nonprofit
Samaritan Hospital. In district 1: Lincoln County Oregon, district for Pacific Community
Hospital {P C H}. It won by 160 votes, because this was a district. The people of Lincoln
County, from Depoe Bay to Yachts could not have a recall, in this district. There are
28,465 land owners. Taxes went up 300 to 400 or more or less depending on the worth of
your home and property. Rents went up, and fixed income people are finding it hard to
hold on to their homes.
Proposed Solution: Pacific Community Hospital needs to drop their district. All of
Lincoln County uses Samaritan Hospital.
The 2014—2015 Certified Poll Total accounts in county that are using the hospital and are
not paying for this bond is 76,703, paying for this bond is 28,465. P C H district is very
small. Combining all land owners in Lincoln County it would be 104,168.00 paying for
the new $56,000,000. nonprofit Samaritan Hospital, that P C H controls. All of Lincoln
County residents use this hospital, all should pay for it.
Steps Involved:
1 Drop the district.
2 Hold a new vote including the 76,703
3 Communicate this to P C H.
Benefits: The new vote from all of Lincoln County land owners would be fair. The
28,465 would no longer be victims. Potential Obstacles: The cost, the time, the resistance
if any from Pacific Community Hospital.
