Board President, Phil Yocom, called the meeting to order at 5:30 pm.

Mr. Yocom explained that the Sabine County Hospital District Board of Directors is considering accessing Sabine County’s Hurricane Ike Recovery Funds for building a shelter of last resort for the citizens of Sabine County.   He continued to say that David Waxman, of David Waxman & Associates, has assured the Board that the funds are available for that purpose. Mr. Yocom added that the facility if approved would be located on the Hospital campus just west of the Hospital. The purpose of the shelter is to assist low to moderate income citizens of Sabine County and those with special medical needs during emergencies.  When not being used for a shelter, the building would be used as a meeting place for community activities.

Ray Tomlinson asked who would run and maintain the facility and inquired about the application process.  Mr. Yocom explained that the Sabine County Hospital District would run and maintain the facility and that the application would be processed through the Sabine County Commissioners Court.  

Being that there were no more comments or questions, the hearing adjourned 5:56 p.m.
