CBCA Decisions
- Board of Trustees of Bay Medical Center dated 3/12/2026
-
- Decision: Thus, for the reasons discussed above, we conclude that Bay Medical has not provided sufficient evidentiary support for the panel to distinguish damage to the buildings due to pre-disaster building conditions from damage directly caused by the disaster. Without such evidence, we are unable to determine which repairs might be eligible for funding and which repairs are ineligible. Bay Medical failed to meet its evidentiary burden. We conclude that, aside from the funds approved by FEMA as detailed in the agency’s decision on Bay Medical’s first appeal, Bay Medical is otherwise ineligible for PA funding for the costs to repair the buildings. Bay Medical’s request for PA funding to repair the Core Group I buildings is denied. (Russell)
