Fr"- <br />JUL 16 196 <br />BOOK 65P,1;F..�J <br />Our insurance package for one year is approximately $15,000.00. <br />Our Workmen's Compensation is already paid, but that is the only <br />policy paid for. <br />We are hoping Indian River County Volunteer Ambulance Squad, Inc. <br />will give us a portion of their monthly funding from the county, <br />but their Board of Directors tabled that portion of their agenda <br />until a later date. Also, we have contacted United Way of Indian <br />River County, and will go before them also for a portion of IRCVAS's <br />budget for the rest of this fiscal year, as the Sebastian Division <br />was included in both the County and United Way's budgets. <br />Please give me a telephone call if our request to be placed on <br />the Commission's Agenda is approved and also for the date and time. <br />Sincerely, <br />Joy Snell, President <br />Ms. Snell clarified that the problem is that there is about <br />21 months before the fiscal year is up, and they need funds to <br />pay for their insurance. They have paid Workman's Comp which was <br />$2,000, but they are short $11,073. <br />Commissioner Lyons asked if they are operating without <br />insurance, and Ms. Snell stated they are not. Their insurance <br />which is to be canceled this morning, is to be picked up by the <br />same company. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that we have been making a fairly <br />stable contribution to the budget of the Indian River County <br />Volunteer Ambulance Squad (IRCVAS) over the years when this was <br />all part of one operation, and these needs were all taken care <br />of. Now he is seeing not only this adjustment of $11,000 being <br />requested, but Sebastian has a $30,000 request in our budget <br />session, and then we have Fellsmere which went from 0 to $6,000 <br />to $10,000, and he could not understand how we suddenly went from <br />operating an ambulance service in the.county for $40,000 to <br />$90,000 all in one year. <br />L. B. "Buck" Vocelle, Jr., President of the Board of <br />Directors of IRCVAS, stated that as he understood Ms. Snell's <br />request, it is to appropriate some money that already has been <br />allocated to IRCVAS for the period of this fiscal year, and then <br />Sebastian is coming back for their 86/87 budget. The problem is <br />56 <br />
