INDIGENT CARE AFFILIATION AGREESIENT
BETWEEN
BRAZOS COUNTY
AND
CATHOLIC HEALTH INITIATIVES HOSPITALS
This INDIGENT CARE AFFILIATION AGREEMENT (the Agreement) is entered
between BRAZOS COUNTY, a political subdivision of the State of Texas whose county
seat is located at 300 E. 26'h St., Aryan, Texas (the County or Governmental Entity), and
ST. LUKE'S HEALTH SYSTEM CORPORATION, MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM
OF EAST TEXAS, AND ST. JOSEPH SERVICES CORPORATION and their affiliated
hospitals attached herein to Exhibit 1, which are all affiliates of Catholic Health
Initiatives. All hospitals listed in Exhibit I are organized and licensed under the laws of
the State of Texas and their principal offices are provided. Any reference to an Affiliated
Hospital in this agreement refers to every hospital listed in Exhibit 1. The County and
the Affiliated Hospital may be referred to individually in this Agreement as a Party or
collectively as the Parties_
1'AiCle I. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Section 1.01 The Parties' responsibility to provide Indigent Care.
(a) The County bears primary responsibility under Texas law to provide health care
for indigent persons who reside in the county. The financial responsibility for such care
principally is borne by the taxpayers of die County.
(b) As a safety-nG hospital, a core mission of Affiliated Hospital is to provide health
care services to the. needy residents of the community, including persons who are eligible
for indigent care from the County.
(c) Both the County and Affiliated I lospital have a statutory and/or fiduciary duty to
pursue public and private sources of payment for are, including payment through the
Texas Medicaid program.
Section 1.02 Inadequacy ofslate funding and insurance for the needy.
(a) The State of Texas historically has reimbursed healthcare services famished
through the Texas Medicaid program at levels that are inadequate to cover the costs of
health care providers, including Affiliated Hospital. Additionally, the State has elected
not to expand Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act.
(b) Neither the County nor Affiliated Hospital dispute these actions and in fact
recognize the important state policies that these decisions represent. However, both the
Pg. 4
County and Affiliated Hospital acknowledge that these actions have had and will
continue to have several effects:
(1) The number of County residents who are unable to pay for primary and
emergency healthcare has risen and will continue to rise for the foreseeable future;
(2) A significant ntmtber of these residents are eligible for indigent. care services
from the County;
(3) These residents typically obtain their primary healthcare through hospital
emergency room services, which the Parties recognize is costly, inefficient, and does
not promote good public health outcomes or effective primary or preventive
healthcare; and
(4) The lack of insurance and adequately funded stale programs has increased
demand on the County's indigent care program and the amount of uncompensated
care for Affiliated Hospital.
(5) These factors place the financial burden for indigent care largely on the
County taxpayers and the local community.
Section 1.03 The Parties therefore agree that, without an effective source of
revenue to support services to the indigent and needy of the County, the
financial burden for indigent care in the County will continue to rise, strain the
County's and local communities' budgets, and ultimately threaten the
availability of quality healthcare in the County. Medicaid Supplemental Hospital
Payment Programs help address these challenges by allowing our local safety -
net hospitals to access Tezas Wainer paymenty without increasing any taxes on
local residents.
(a) Medicaid is ajoint state and federal program established under Title XIX of the
Social Security Act that provides healthcare primarily to children, pregnant women, the
elderly, and persons with disabilities. Federal law requires the State to bear a portion of
the cost of care to persons who are eligible for Medicaid.
(b) Texas Medicaid also administers programs to support public and private hospitals
that furnish a significant amount of uncompensated healthcare services to people who do
not have the ability to pay for their healthcare. Affiliated Hospital traditionally has
participated in these supplemental payment programs.
(c) The State traditionally has required that local governments use local funds to
supply the state's share of the Medicaid supplemental hospital payments.
(1) This practice has favored counties with a hospital district, which assess
property taxes to fund district operations.
(2) Because the County does not have a hospital district, hospitals are not assured
of receiving their fair share of such funding.
A-2
Vol. oZ,jB pg._ -7—
(d) The State also requires hospitnis and local governments that wish to participate in
these programs to certify certain facts that demonstrate the parties' compliance with state
and federal laws. The certifications for Affiliated Hospital and the County are attached to
this Agreement as Exhibit 2.
Section 1.04 Local Provider Participation Fund
(a) The Texas Legislature, in recognition of the financial burden borne by the County
and its taxpayers and the potential loss of available Medicaid handing to hospitals

INDIGENT CARE AFFILIATION AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
BRAZOS COUNTY
AND
13AYLOR SCOTT & WHITE HOSPITALS
This INDIGENT CARE AFFILIATION AGREEMENT (the Agreement) is entered
between BRAZOS COUNTY, a political subdivision of the State of Texas whose county
seat is located at 300 E. 261 St., Bryan, Texas (the County or Governmental Entity), and
hospitals attached herein to Exhibit 1, which are all affiliates of Baylor Scott & White
Health. All hospitals listed in Exhibit 1 are organized and licensed under the laws of the
State of Texas and their principal offices are provided. Any reference to an Affiliated
Hospital in this agreement refers to every hospital listed in Exhibit 1. The County and
the Affiliated Hospital may be referred to individually in this Agreement as a Parry or
collectively as the Parties.
Article I. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Section 1.01 The Parties' responsibility to provide Indigent Care.
(a) The County bears primary responsibility under Texas law to provide health care
for indigent persons who reside in the county. The financial responsibility for such care
principally is borne by the taxpayers of the County.
(b) As a safety -net hospital, a core mission of Affiliated Hospital is to provide health
care services to the needy residents of the community, including persons who are eligible
for indigent care from the County.
(c) Both the County and Affiliated Hospital have a statutory and/or fiduciary duty to
pursue public and private sources of payment for care, including payment through the
Texas Medicaid program.
Section 1.02 Inadequacy of state funding and insurance for the needy.
(a) The State of Texas historically has reimbursed healthcare services furnished
through the Texas Medicaid program at levels that are inadequate to cover the costs of
health care providers, including Affiliated Hospital. Additionally, the State has elected
not to expand Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act.
(b) Neither the County nor Affiliated Hospital dispute these actions and in fact
recognize the important state policies that these decisions represent. However, both the
County and Affiliated Hospital acknowledge that these actions have had and will
continue to have several effects:
(1) The number of County residents who are unable to pay for primary and
emergency healthcare has risen and will continue to rise for the foreseeable future;
(2) A significant number of these residents are eligible for indigent care services
from the County;
(3) These residents typically obtain their primary healthcare through hospital
emergency room services, which the Parties recognize is costly, inefficient, and does
not promote good public health outcomes or effective primary or preventive
healthcare; and
(4) The lack of insurance and adequately funded state programs has increased
demand on the County's indigent care program and the amount of uncompensated
care for Affiliated Hospital.
(5) These factors place the financial burden for indigent care largely on the
County taxpayers and the local community.
Section 1.03 The Parties therefore agree that, without an effective source of
revenue to support services to the indigent and needy of the County, the
financial burden for indigent care in the County will continue to rise, strain the
County's and local communities' budgets, and ultimately threaten the
availability of quality healthcare in the County. Medicaid Supplemental Hospital
Payment Programs help address these challenges by allowing our local safety -
net hospitals to access Texas Waiver payments without increasing any taxes on
local residents.
(a) Medicaid is a joint state and federal program established under Title XIX of the
Social Security Act that provides healthcare primarily to children, pregnant women, the
elderly, and persons with disabilities. Federal law requires the State to bear a portion of
the cost of care to persons who are eligible for Medicaid.
(b) Texas Medicaid also administers programs to support public and private hospitals
that furnish a significant amount of uncompensated healthcare services to people who do
not have the ability to pay for their healthcare. Affiliated Hospital traditionally has
participated in these supplemental payment programs.
(c) The State traditionally has required that local governments use local funds to
supply the state's share of the Medicaid supplemental hospital payments.
(1) This practice has favored counties with a hospital district, which assess
property taxes to fund district operations.
(2) Because the County does not have a hospital district, hospitals are not assured
of receiving their fair share of such funding.
(d) The State also requires hospitals and local governments that wish to participate in
these programs to certify certain facts that demonstrate the parties' compliance with state
and federal laws. The certifications for Affiliated Hospital and the County are attached to
this Agreement as Exhibit 2.
A-2
Vol. 0238 pg /1
Section 1. 04 Local Provider Participation Fund
(a) The Texas Legislature, in recognition of the financial burden borne by the County
and its taxpayers and the potential loss of available Medicaid funding to hospitals enacted
Chapter 296 of the Texas Health & Safety Code, which authorized the County to
establish a local provider participation fund (LPPF) to support the payment of Medicaid
supplemental hospital payments to Affiliated Hospital and other eligible hospitals.
(b) The LPPF relies on mandatory payments by institutional healthcare providers and
does not add to the burden of the County's property taxpayers.
Section 1.05 Purpose and Intent of the Parties
(a) The Parties desire to ensure that the indigent residents of the County continue to
have access to and receive quality healthcare services.
(b) The Parties recognize that it is in their mutual best interests to access greater
amounts of federal funding to help cover the costs of services to indigent persons and
people who are eligible for Medicaid. The Parties also agree that another benefit of such
additional funding is that all residents of the County will continue to have access to
quality healthcare.
(c) The County and Affiliated Hospital recognize that implementation of the LPPF
will help achieve these benefits for all residents of the County.
ACCORDINGLY, in view of their common obligations and interests, and to fulfill
their statutory, fiduciary, charitable obligations to the residents and communities of the
County, the Parties agree as follows:
Article H. INDIGENT CARE COLLABORATION
Section 2.01 Improving Access to Healthcare for Indigent.
The County and Affiliated Hospital will assess opportunities to improve access to
healthcare for indigent persons residing in the community through participation in the
Medicaid program including the Medicaid payments authorized by supplemental hospital
payment programs, including the Texas Healthcare Transformation and Quality
Improvement Program Section 1115 Waiver (the "Section 1115 Waiver"), the
Disproportionate Share Hospital Program and their successors.
Section 2.02 Implementation of the LPPF
The County and Affiliated Hospital will also cooperate to ensure the prompt,
efficient, and accurate implementation of the LPPF in the County in a manner consistent
with state and federal law.
Section 2.03 Administration of the LPPF
(a) The County and Affiliated hIospital agree that the County will retain discretion to
determine:
_ A-3
(1) The term and content of rules to govern the LPPF; and
(2) The timing and amount of the mandatory payment to be paid by institutional
healthcare providers, consistent with the requirements of state and federal law.
(b) Except as provided in Section 2.04, the County also retains the discretion to apply
the LPPF to uses authorized under the law, including conducting intergovernmental
transfers of funds to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
Section 2.04 No Implementation of Affordable Care Act
Article III. GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 3.01 Term and Termination.
The term of this Agreement shall be one year from Effective Date and shall
automatically continue thereafter for additional terms of one year unless the parties agree
otherwise; provided, however, that this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon
written notice by either the Governmental Entity or the Affiliated Hospital to the other

hospitals attached herein to Exhibit 1, which are all affiliates of CHSPSC,.LLC. All
hospitals listed in Exhibit 1 are licensed underahe laws of the State of Texas and their
principal offices are; provided. Any reference to an Affiliated Hospital In this agreement
refers to every hospital listed in Exhibit 1. The County and.the Affiliated Hospital may
be referred to individually in this Agreement Asa Party or collectively as the Parties.
Article I. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Section l.01 The Parties' responsibilify to provide _hi (tent Care.
(4) The County bears primary responsibility under Texas law to provide health care
for indigent, persons who reside in the county: The financial responsibility for such care
principally is borne by taxpayers of the County.
(b) As a safety-nethospital, a core mission of Affiliated Hospital is to provide health
care services to the needy;residents of the community,:including.persons who are eligible
for indigent care from the County:
(c) Boththe County and Affiliated.Hospitathave a statutory and/or fiduciary duty to
pursue public and private sources of payment for care, including payment through the
Texas Medicaid program.
Section1.02 Inadequacy of state funding'and.insurance for the needy.
(a) The; State of Texas historically has reimbursed healthcare services famished
through the Texas Medicaid program at levels that are Inadequate to cover the costs of
health care providers, including Affiliated Hospital. Additionally, the State has elected
not:to expand Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act.
(b) Neither the County .nor Affiliated Hospital dispute these actions and in fact
recognize the important:siate policies that these:decisions:represent. However, both the
County'and Affiliated Hospital acknowledge that these actions have.had and will
continue to have several ,effects:
(1) The number of County residents who are unable.to,pay for primary and
emergency healthcare has risen and will continue to rise for the foreseeable
future;
(2) A significant number of these residents are eligible for indigent care services
from the County,
(3) These residents typically obtain the,'it_primary healthcare through hospital
emergency room services, which the Parties recognize is costly, inefficient,
and does not promote good public health outcomes or effective primaryor
preventive healthcare; and
(4) The lack of insurance and adequately funded, state,programs has increased
demand'on the.County's indigent care program and the amount of
uncompensated care for Affiliated Hospital.
(5)'These factors place the -financial burden for indigent care largely.on the
County taxpayers and the local community.
Section 1.03 The Parties therefore agree that, without an effective source of
revenue to support ser'vic'es to the indigent. and needy of the County, the
financial burden for indigent care in the.County will"continue-to rise, strain the
County's and local communities' budgets; and ultimately threaten the
availability of quality healthcare in the County. Medicaid Supplemental Hospital
Payment, Programs help address these challenges by allowing our local safety -
net hospitals to access Texas Waiver payments without increasing any taxes on.
local' residents.
(a) Medicaid is a joint state and;federal program established under Title XIX of the
Social Security Act that provides healthcare primarily to children, pregnantwomen, the
elderly, and persons with disabilities: Federal law requires the State'to bear'a portion of
the cost of care topersons 'who are eligible for Medicaid.
(b) Texas Medicaid also administers programs to support public and private hospitals
that famish a significant amount of uncompensated healthcare services to,people who do
not have the'ability to pay for their healthcare. Affiliated Hospital traditionally has
participated in these supplemental payment programs.
(c) The State traditionally has.required that local govemments.use local funds to
supply the state's share of the Medicaid supplemental hospital payments-
(1),This practice.has favored counties with a hospital district, which assess
property taxes to fund district operations.
(2) Because the County does not haven hospital' district, hospitals are not assured
Of receiving their fair share:ofsuch funding.,
(d) The State also requires hospitals and local governments thabwish to,participatp,in
these programs to certify certain facts that demonstrate the parties' compliance with state
F
a� pg. ��
and federal laws. The.certifications.for Affiliated Hospitaland the County are attached to
this Agreement as Exhibit 2.
Section 1.04 Local Provider Participation. Fund
(a) The Texas Legislature, in recognition of the financial burden home by the County
and its taxpayers and the potential.loss of available Medicaid funding to hospitals enacted
Chapter 296 of the Texas Health.& Safety Code,. which authorized.the'County to
establish a local provider participation fund (LPPF) to support the paymenbof Medicaid
supplemental hospital payments to Affiliated:HospitalAnd other eligible hospitals;_
(b) The LPPF.relies on mandatory payments by institutional healthcare providers and
does not add to the 'burden .of the County's property taxpayers.
Section 1.05 Purpose.andlntent,ofiheParties
(a) The PartiesAesire to ensure that the indigent residents of the County continue to
have access to and receive quality. healthcare seryices.
(b) The Parties recognize that itis in their inuitual best interests"to access greater
amounts of federal :funding to help cover the costs of services to indigent persons and
people who;are eligible for Medicaid. The Parties also agree that anotherbenefit of such
additional funding is that all residents of the. County will continue to have access to
quality healthcare:
(c) The Countyand Affiliated. Hospital recognize that:implementation:ofthe LPPF
will help achieve.these benefits for all residents of the County.
ACCORDINGLY, inview oftheir. common.obligations and in and to fulfill
their statutory, fiduciary,.charitable obligations to the residents and communities of the
County, the Parties agree as. follows:
Article II. INDIGENT CARE COLLABORATION
Section,2.01 bnprovitrg Access to Healthcare for lndigeni

RE: Public Application for a New Road
(Mesa Verde Drive Extension to State Highway 6 South)
Dear Brazos County Commissioners:
Please let this letter serve as the request for a new road extension in Precinct 1, more particularly
known as the extension of Mesa Verde Drive from Its current Intersection with Chaco Canyon Drive to
the "Texas World Speedway" overpass of State Highway 6. The requested new road extension is further
described on the attached drawing.
The individuals listed below are property owners within Precinct 1. Representatives of this group have
met with Alan Munger, Brazos County Engineer, regarding this request. Mitchell and Morgan
Engineering has prepared preliminary design documents for this road improvement in a manner
consistent with the design specifications of Brazos County.
This Application is being submitted in accordance with Texas Transportation Code, Section 251.052.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,

ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPARTMENT
R. Alan Munger, PE, CFM, County Engineer
Memorandum
Date: July 20, 2016
To: Members of Brazos County Commissioners Court; Bill Ballard; Kendra Suh
From: R. Alan Munger, P.E.
RE: Need for New Roadway
Due to population growth, many Brazos County roadways are experiencing more traffic than ever
before. The Road & Bridge Department continues to react to and tackle these issues as best and as
quick as possible. However, there is no more alarming example of growth's effect on an `old
country road" than Arrington Road.
In 2003, Arrington Road served Nantucket Subdivision ,Windham Ranch and Ross Margraves
owned properties. William D. Fitch Parkway and Tower Point Developments were not in place.
Today, Arrington Road carries in excess of 3500 vehicles per day within a ROW less than 50 feet
wide in many places. The pavement is "tired" and narrow. The roadway needs to be widened to
serve the growing traffic concerns. The ROW needed to widen the roadway is located within City
of College Station. The amount of ROW needed for a 30' additional width is approximately 5.37
acres of premium South County property with estimated cost of $270,000 to acquire plus cost to
relocate utilities and replace fence (which could easily escalate costs). Estimated costs for
improvements to Arrington break down as follows:
ROW..................................................................... I ..... $270,000
Utility Adjustments/Fencing............................................. $150,000
Roadway Construction (7800 LF of 3 Lane Roadway) ............ $1,547,000
Total (Estimated)..........................................................$1,967,000
This project was not included in FY 2017 Capital Budget due to its expense.
We can very likely reduce traffic volumes on Arrington down to 1000-1200 vehicles per day and
greatly ease current pressures in Nantucket Subdivision and South Oaks Drive (whom the
Commissioners Court has met with previously) if we move forward with development of Mesa
Verde Drive. Mesa Verde will provide quicker access to SH 6 for county residents. It will access
the existing overpass to Texas World Speedway directly. It will benefit county residents in many
ways.
If the Commissioners Court chooses to accept the land donation for Mesa Verde Drive and proceed
with development of plans for construction of Mesa Verde Drive, costs could be anticipated as
follows:
2617 Highway 21 West Bryan, Texas 74883-- , Office'(979)822=21277 Fax (979)775-0453
Vol.
ROW................................................................................$0
Utility Adjustments/Fencing....................................................$0
Roadway Design (incl Geotech, Topo Survey, Construction Documents)
.............. $110,000
Roadway Construction (Contractor)(anticipate Frntg Rd Aux Turn L1)
(2800 LF of 2 Lane Roadway transition to 4 lane at Frutg Road)(with 10% Contingency)
............$1,050,000
Total (Estimated).......................................................$1,160,000
This alternative is $800,000 less expensive and it was included in departmental FY 17 Capital
Roads Budget Plan. Secondarily, it provides Brazos County greater ability to negotiate with City of
CS concerning future improvements to Arrington Road, as well as providing a great benefit to
County residents by improving safety and commute times to Bryan and College Station.
There are no existing residential driveways on Mesa Verde Drive from State Highway 6 to Indian
Lakes Drive. Mesa Verde Drive has been included on Thoroughfare Plans for many years.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best regards,
Alan

ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPARTMENT
R. Alan Munger, PE, CFM, County Engineer
Memorandum
Date: July 20, 2016
To: Members of Brazos County Commissioners Court; Bill Ballard; Kendra Suh
From: R. Alan Munger, P.E.
RE: Need for New Roadway
Due to population growth, many Brazos County roadways are experiencing more traffic than ever
before. The Road & Bridge Department continues to react to and tackle these issues as best and as
quick as possible. However, there is no more alarming example of growth's effect on an "old
country road" than Arrington Road.
In 2003, Arrington Road served Nantucket Subdivision ,Windham Ranch and Ross Margraves
owned properties. William D. Fitch Parkway and Tower Point Developments were not in place.
Today, Arrington Road carries in excess of 3500 vehicles per day within a ROW less than 50 feet
wide in many places. The pavement is "tired" and narrow. The roadway needs to be widened to
serve the growing traffic concerns. The ROW needed to widen the roadway is located within City
of College Station. The amount of ROW needed for a 30' additional width is approximately 5.37
acres of premium South County property with estimated cost of $270,000 to acquire plus cost to
relocate utilities and replace fence (which could easily escalate costs). Estimated costs for
improvements to Arrington break down as follows:
ROW........................................................................... $270,000
Utility Adjustments/Fencing............................................. $150,000
Roadway Construction (7800 LF of 3 Lane Roadway) ............ $1,547,000
Total (Estimated)..........................................................$1,967,000
This project was not included in FY 2017 Capital Budget due to its expense.
We can very likely reduce traffic volumes on Arrington down to 1000-1200 vehicles per day and
greatly ease current pressures in Nantucket Subdivision and South Oaks Drive (whom the
Commissioners Court has met with previously) if we move forward with development of Mesa
Verde Drive. Mesa Verde will provide quicker access to SH 6 for county residents. It will access
the existing overpass to Texas World Speedway directly. It will benefit county residents in many
ways.
If the Commissioners Court chooses to accept the land donation for Mesa Verde Drive and proceed
with development of plans for construction of Mesa Verde Drive, costs could be anticipated as
follows:
2617 Highway 21 West Bryan, Texas 77803 Office (979)822-2127 / Fax (979)775-0453
Vol. �3� Pg1
ROW................................................................................$0
Utility Adjustments/Fencing....................................................$0
Roadway Design (incl Geotech, Topo Survey, Construction Documents)
.............. $110,000
Roadway Construction (Contractor)(anticipate Frntg Rd Aux Turn LN)
(2800 LF of 2 Lane Roadway transition to 4 lane at Frntg Road)(with 10% Contingency)
............$1,050,000
Total (Estimated).......................................................51,160,000
This alternative is $800,000 less expensive and it was included in departmental FY 17 Capital
Roads Budget Plan. Secondarily, it provides Brazos County greater ability to negotiate with City of
CS concerning future improvements to Arrington Road, as well as providing a great benefit to
County residents by improving safety and commute times to Bryan and College Station.
There are no existing residential driveways on Mesa Verde Drive from State Highway 6 to Indian
Lakes Drive. Mesa Verde Drive has been included on Thoroughfare Plans for many years.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best regards,
Alan
