e <br />ARE ONLY ABLE TO HANDLE EMERGENCY RUNS AND CANNOT HANDLE NON -EMERGENCY RUNS <br />UNDER THEIR PRESENT BY-LAWS, AND A & S IS A VERY DIFFERENT SERVICE AND IS <br />NEEDED IN THIS COMMUNITY, <br />THE FOLLOWING LETTER REGARDING THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY VOLUNTEER <br />AMBULANCE SQUAD IS HEREBY BEING MADE A PART OF THESE MINUTES. <br />M E M 0 <br />To: Mr. Richard Todd <br />From: B. T. Cooksey <br />Re: Indian River County Volunteer. <br />Ambulance Squad <br />I have reviewed the Articles of Incorporation filed on <br />April 19, 1966, and Article II states that the corpora- <br />tion is organized "for the purpose of providing ambulance <br />service where needed in connection with persons suffering <br />from disease or injured by accident." <br />Article XVIII, Section 1. of the By-laws provides: "The <br />ambulance service provided by the Squad shall be an emergen- <br />cy service and shall not include convenience or transporta- <br />tion runs without the prior approval of the Squad chief. <br />Due to these provisions it is my opinion that the Ambulance <br />Squad is primarily an emergency service and it would not be <br />possible to offer transportation or convenience runs without <br />amending the Charter and By-laws of the organization. <br />If I can give you any additional information to amplify this, <br />please do not hesitate to advise me. <br />Byron T.
