If there is any possibility of financial gain by a member from any decision that is to be deliberated on, then that member is removed from those discussions to ensure that the member will not take part in any deliberations that he or she might personally gain from. The member operating under a conflict is prohibited from voting on any matter to which the conflict relates.”

Sullivan cotter's recommendations were presented to the chc compensation committee of the board for review and approval. Chc also conducts periodic reviews of compensation to determine whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information, and the result of arm's length bargaining. This process is performed each year prior to the annual employee evaluation process, which ends on july 1st of each year.”
