Points of Interest: 00:55, 07:54, 09:17, 10:46 and the "Q & A" session starts at 17:50 18:05 Did the task force consider unintended consequences of the Green House staffing needs? 21:10 Will Green House have water therapy like Maplewood does? What plans are in place for the logistical challenges of moving patients between buildings in inclement weather? 25:10 What alternative solutions are there for eliminating the chronic budget deficit of the Cheshire County Nursing Home? Why does the county insist on maintaining a mission towards helping "problem patients" and an annual budget deficit of $2.6 million when other counties in the region have found solutions for this type of financial hardship? 32:00 Is there a statutory requirement for Cheshire County to establish nursing home care for destitute patients? Should Cheshire County demand that tax payers sacrifice more income for those in need based on an ideological belief in social contract theory? 35:40 Is there a statutory requirement for local municipalities to care for destitute individuals within their town? 40:50 What are the contingency plans for Maplewood once the Green House model is deployed? I.e, Maplewood currently produces water and sewage services whereas Green House will presumably have to pay Keene for aforementioned services. 44:28 Is it true that the projected nursing home budget deficit at Green House will go up to at least $2.6 million per year after the first year? 46:45 Does the tax credit opportunity for Green House expire or does it have a time limitation? Can a Green House module have more than ten beds in it? 52:00 If Maplewood became obsolete in just forty years, who's to say that Green House infrastructure won't be obsolete forty years from now? How does Cheshire County intend to care for Green House when it has demonstrated difficulties at managing and maintaining property in the past? 55:20 Did the county task force consider liquidating the assets, buildings, and property so it may better serve it's mission towards supporting destitute individuals in need? After all, all the funds spent on staff, building maintenance etcetera could be used solely administering financial support to the problem patients. 57:20 What is the estimated figure for the amount of problem patients that will need a bed in the Cheshire County nursing home twenty years from now? 1:01:00 What kind of privatized options did the task force consider? 1:10:45 What are the "design and architect fees" for the Green House building plans; what's more, why isn't the cost of repurposing Maplewood figured into the projected build costs and budget deficit of the Green house proposal? 1:18:15 Is Cheshire County going to pay $30 million or $18 million for the Green House buildings? 1:20:00 Why doesn't the county sell Maplewood nursing home to a private company and take the capital from the sale to set up a trust fund for the destitute problem patients who need free care? 1:22:03 How much will it cost to run both facilities concurrently? What will happen to the employees that currently work at Maplewood? 1:25:05 Will the transition from Maplewood to Green House be immediate or gradual? 1:26:45 If the true cost of Green House is $30 million what kind of commons/gathering room does that much money buy? 1:31:04 How much did the new Cheshire County Jail go over budget? 1:32:05 Are all the buildings on site or is there room for expansion with the Green House model? 1:33:00
