Negotiations continue on hospital’s sale
Negotiations are continuing for the sale of Bowie Memorial Hospital as the board awaits a letter of intent and contract from The Brough Group.
The hospital authority board will consider that letter from Dr. Royce Brough at its 5 p.m. Dec. 30 board meeting, along with several other items on a lengthy agenda.
BMH Chief Executive Officer Lynn Heller said the deadline was extended to noon Dec. 29 for receipt of those items.
The Brough Group was one of two bidders for Bowie Memorial, along with Texas General Hospital. The hospital board made a counter-offer to Brough on Dec. 11.

The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
