FLORIDA FIRE CHIEFS' ASSOCIATION RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE STATE <br />LEGISLATURE <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 3/4/87: <br />TO: County Commissioners ®ATE: March 4, 1987 FILE <br />SUBJECT: Recommendations of the <br />Florida Fire Chiefs' <br />Assn. to the Legislature <br />FROM: Carolyn K. Eggert REFERENCES: <br />Commissioner <br />As a Board, we may need to consider the effect of these <br />recommendations, especially page 6 - #600.1 and 600.2, on <br />the County, and make appropriate recommendations to the <br />Legislature. <br />Commissioner Eggert felt that we should inform the <br />Legislature that we oppose Items 600.1 and 600.2 under Emergency <br />Medical Services. Item 600.1 deals with separating the trust <br />funds more broadly across the different agencies within the <br />county rather than coming in and being carefully disbursed. With <br />regard to Item 600.2, she felt that.we should have as much <br />control as possible over the issuance of certificates of public <br />conveyance and necessity. <br />Attorney Vitunac pointed out that it is unclear in 600.2 if <br />the County would have a veto power in the case where a <br />municipality wished to certify a particular service that the <br />County felt was inadequate. <br />Commissioner Bird wondered if we should wait to see what <br />legislation is introduced so that we know how to respond against <br />it, but Commissioner Eggert felt we should respond now, so that <br />the Legislature is aware ahead of time that there is opposition <br />to some of these recommendations. <br />94 <br />BOOK P�. r.
