The Hospital was to reimburse you for your costs. (See copy of.minute book 19, page 350 and Mr. Meadow's letter dated March 27, 1974 attached). You performed this work at a well documented total cost of $17,951.92, and billed the Hospital for this amount on March ll, 1976 and again December 3, 1976. These billings have not been paid. On February 28, 1977, 1 went to see Mr. Bobby Meadows to inquire as to why the Hospital had not paid you. He said he was aware of the billings and that he had no question as to the validity of the cost figures. The reason for the non-payment, he said, was that you had "promised" to give the Hospital $146,000.00 from Federal Revenue Sharing toward the new hospital, and since you had not paid over these funds, he was disinclined to present this bill to the Hospital Board for payment. I asked Mr. Meadows if he could produce anything in his office that would document the "promise" he said he had received from you and he could produce nothing. On May 30, 1973 you did not "promise" to give the Hospital $146,000.00, but tentatively allocated this money. (See minute book 17, page 117 attached). Obviously, there were either conditions to this gift that were not met by the Hospital or the Hospital's conduct in this affair was such that they forfeited the gift. In any case, the gift of $146,000.00 is totally unrelated to the Hospital's liability to you for your work on the access road. If you wish, I shall be happy to pursue this matter, on your behalf, with Mr. Meadows and the Hospital Board of Trustees, or if you prefer, I will work with Mr. -Joe Collins toward the collection of your $17,951.92.
