(A) Whenever the operation of the Flandreau Municipal Hospital has been delegated to another entity pursuant to a lease or other arrangement, the City Council may suspend the Board of Trustees and serve in its place as follows.
(1) Said City Council shall be entitled to have access to the hospital’s premises to inspect and observe its operations.
(2) The Council shall be entitled to examine all financial records of the hospital’s operations except those that may be subject to a particular patient’s or employee’s rights to confidentiality. Such access shall be extended only to the extent necessary to evaluate the performance of the entity’s obligations under its agreement with the city.
(3) Reports shall be made by the operating entity to the Council at least quarterly advising of the hospital’s operations insofar as they relate to the entity’s obligations under its agreement with the city.
(4) Any action to be taken by the entity that requires the approval of the City Council must be presented to the Council no later than 30 days prior to approval.
(B) In the event that the City Council suspends the Board of Trustees, and until the Council has reinstated the Board, this section shall govern to the extent that it is not inconsistent with the provisions contained in the lease agreement or other arrangement.
