APR 24 1985 BOOK C PA, 695 <br />Mayor Tyson stated that while they want to cooperate and <br />coordinate with the IRC squad, they don't wish to be combined <br />with that unit; they want to remain independent because of the <br />area in which they will service and the knowledge of the area. <br />Chairman Lyons hoped that Mayor Tyson would keep an open <br />mind and Mayor Tyson replied that he would be delighted to meet <br />with them at any time to discuss any -problem. <br />Chairman Lyons expressed his opposition to providing County <br />funds to any ambulance service separate from the IRC Volunteer <br />Ambulance Squad. <br />Commissioner Wodtke recalled that at one time there was some <br />concern about who owned the building which used to be the old <br />City garage, and Mayor Tyson advised that it is owned by Indian <br />River County and leased to the City of Fellsmere for $1.00 a year <br />as long as it is used by a non-profit organization. <br />Commissioner Wodtke commended the residents of Fellsmere and <br />surrounding areas for their efforts in establishing this service <br />on a donation basis. <br />Attorney Brandenburg explained that when a Certificate of of <br />Public Necessity is issued, the Board is not assuring that all <br />State standards will be met and service will be provided on time. <br />All the Board is saying is that there is a need in that area and <br />the Board is granting them permission to fulfill that need if <br />they meet all of our requirements of which we have none at this <br />time. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the Board <br />authorize the Certificate of Need for the Fellsmere <br />Volunteer Ambulance Service and allow them to <br />use the radio frequency if it is coordinated <br />with the Assistant County Administrator. <br />40 <br />W <br />
