NOV 7 1994 <br />BOOK 5® pe, GE 1 68 <br />Chairman Scurlock commented that actually issuing a <br />Certificate of Need just allows the ambulance company to <br />function. <br />Attorney Brandenburg noted that the Board could postpone the <br />decision and ask the ambulance company to respond to the concerns <br />raised at the next meeting. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if that would allow them to <br />continue to function, and the Attorney stated that it would. <br />Commissioner Bowman reported that the north part of the <br />county has had difficulty with this ambulance service also, and <br />she would like to leave the door open so possibly another <br />ambulance service could respond from the Melbourne area. <br />Attorney Brandenburg assured her that the Certificates of <br />Need are not exclusive. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that <br />any decision on issuing of the Certificate <br />of Need to C & J Ambulance Service be <br />delayed until their representative can <br />meet with the Commission to discuss these <br />problems; also the Chairman will write <br />a letter indicating that we wish to discuss <br />rates. <br />OMB Director Barton noted that is the question he wished to <br />raise. He has been getting bills from all the services to <br />transport bodies to the Medical Examiner, and C & J Ambulance is <br />the highest of all. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It <br />was voted on and carried unanimously (4-0). <br />22 <br />� � r <br />
