RESOLUTION NO. 69-16 The Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, resolves: 1. More than two (2) years ago, the funeral directors operating in Indian River County, Florida, made a public announcement that they would no longer furnish emergency ambulance service for this area and for a time it appeared that this necessary public service would either not be available or available only as a part of the functions of the political subdivisions of the area. Investigation by this Board determined that the establishment of emer- gency ambulance service for Indian River County would require the expendi- ture of substantial capital funds and the employment of a large staff, all of which would result in substantial expenditure of public funds in excess of those presently anticipated. 2. The Vero Beach Ambulance Squad was organized by a group of public spirited volunteers who undertook the responsibility of providing emergency ambulance service throughout the area of Indian River County and they have for over two (2) years rendered this great public service and relieved the political subdivisions of this area of the awesome task and great financial obligation. Through these years, the Ambulance Squad has con- tinued to function through its volunteers and has rendered a service exceeding in excellence even the fondest hope and greatest dream for such service. 3. This Board, on behalf of the citizens of Indian River County, whom it represents, extends grateful appreciation and acknowledgment of the fine public service to the Vero Beach Ambulance Squad and calls upon the citizens of the county to honor these volunteers on May 3, 1969, which is hereby designated Vero Beach Ambulance Squad Appreciation Day. ffJ11ti12 flE ?O AP Smith, Heath, Smith & O'Haire, Attorneys At Law,P.
