Executive Director gives Agency report:
Building report:
The Director reported that the roof is complete with the exception of final vent flashing.
The wall insulation will be installed this week. The HVAC units have been hung and the
ductwork installation is ongoing. The Director is working on the OG&E High Efficiency JVAC
rebate. The sprinkler system installation is nearly complete. The exterior masonry should
begin immediately. The sign and artwork are ordered and will be installed at the same time.
He stated that he was able to resolve the misunderstanding with the engineering testing
company in an equitable manner. He also resolved the storefront architectural situation in an
equitable manner. The Board has received the cost projection for installation of the data/coax
cable. It is quoted at about $19,000, over $200 per drop. The digital telephones are ordered.
The cost for the phones is about $7,000. The tenant will be ordering their own. The appliances
have been selected for millwork dimensions. The parking lot concrete should begin soon.
There were some surplus restroom lavatory fixtures that we are planning to utilize for cost
savings. We are waiting on final cost of chair rail for the entry hall and board room. We have
ordered the Board room tables and 2 additional desks for use in the new building. Other
furnishing purchases will be held until we have moved in. The projected finish date is around
May 27th. The Open House is projected for the first week of June and we should move the
second week of June. The first Board meeting should be able to be held the third week of
June. The building is right at budget maybe even a shade under.
Intern law exam:
The Director reported that he had administered the intern law exam to the incoming
students as Southwestern. The average score on the exam was mid-80’s.
Rule changes:
These rule changes are scheduled to be heard in the legislature:
1. Add “practitioner” to emergency kit rules.
2. Remove exempt information about butalbital/acetaminophen combinations.
3. Add medical gas supplier/distributor to emergency language.
4. Clarify the ability of a pharmacy to fax prescription transfer information to another
pharmacy but this will still require that the receiving pharmacy telephone the sending
pharmacy to confirm receipt of the information and get the pharmacist’s identification
information.
FDA meeting:
The Director met with FDA in February. He was asked to be commissioned as a FDA
officer as the compliance officers are so that he can be the point person for interagency
information.
