Mayor Brandes asked what assurance the City could get for actual construc- tion of the acute care hospital.-Mr. Fish stated the Board of Directors has adopted a resolution calling for development of this project in phases. He stated essentially the only thing standing in the way was a regional develop- ment plan and membership approval committing financial support. Mr. David Sealey, representing Alta Bates Hospital, partner in the proj- ect, stated they would not have become a partner if they felt the project would not be completed to ultimate build out.
