The issue discussed behind closed doors Tuesday night was the search for the new president and chief execâ€" utive officer. Among the questions raised by board members was the need for one, the cost â€" particularly in light of the deficit position, and the method of finding a new replaceâ€" ment for Kuntz. Hugh Pauwels, the former senior viceâ€"president, has been filling in as acting president and CEO since Sept. 8th. (Continued from page 1) sion at midnight, the Board of Governors agreed on hiring outside experts to find a replacement for Kuntz. "We felt we needed professional people, but some board members wondered if it was prudent in light of the deficit position. But if we are looking for someone to lead us for the next decade, it‘s well worth it," The Board approached negotiaâ€" tions with caution and had little to say publicly about the deal reached with Kuntz. Board chair, Bill Polley, said both parties had settled "amicaâ€" bly" and no legal action is pending. Although the hospital had reached a tentative settlement on Tuesday, the agreement was not disclosed publicly until there was a firm agreeâ€" ment between the lawyers for both parties. Negotiations had been underway since last Friday. Polley said some board members wanted the hospital to undertake the search for a new CEO. He estimated the cost at about $35,000. No details were given as to the size of Kuntz‘s severance package, but one board member said it was "substantial". Kuntz was asked to resign his post as president and CEO on Sept. 8th. He had held the post since 1989. Corns Calluses Warts Nail Disorders Infection (Fungal/Bacterial) Senior‘s Foot Care For appointment, call HARBOUR PLACE (BRONTE), LOWER LEVEL 2368 LAKESHORE RD.
