The municipality beneficiary of the public trust hospital shall also appoint a mediator. The two mediators shall appoint a mutually agreed-upon third mediator. The three mediators shall agree upon a sales price for the hospital, in accordance with appropriate due diligence and financial audits received from the public trust hospital, if the hospital and the municipality cannot agree without mediation. The hospital shall be transferred to the beneficiary municipality if the beneficiary municipality is willing to pay the agreed-upon purchase price set forth by the mediators and has the appropriate staff identified to operate the hospital. In the event the public trust hospital is sold to another entity, the trustees of the hospital shall certify that they have not entered into any agreement, formal or informal, with the prospective owners of the hospital regarding any position, role, or employment for themselves or their direct relatives, and they shall also certify that they have not and will not receive any financial benefit from the prospective owners, whether in-kind or otherwise.
