Efficiency of service is promoted by having the Fire District provide <br />fire and rescue service, as has been done for the past year and a <br />half in support of the hospital, and for twenty years before then. <br />We would expect you and the other Commissioners to be concerned about <br />the duplication of services and the double expenditure of taxpayers' <br />funds, as well as your legal obligations to the Fire Fighters. We are <br />also shocked about the lack of notice to the Fire District <br />administration which, with our input, might have shown the deficien- <br />cies in the proposal. <br />• <br />We hope that the lack of merit in the proposal will lead to its recon- <br />sideration. Should it not, we' are prepared to take legal action to <br />redress any unjust unilateral action. <br />MAY 19 l <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved <br />the following letter re changes in ALS/BLS operations, <br />and authorized the signature of the Chairman: <br />May 18, 1987 <br />Stephen Bloom, Esq. <br />1675 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd. <br />Suite 200, Forum III <br />West Palm Beach, FL 33401 <br />Re: Change in ALS/BLS Operations, Vero Beach <br />Firefighters' Association, Local 2201 <br />In response to your letter of May 14, 1987, please be <br />advisedthat the only action the Board of County <br />Commissioners has taken with regard to recent changes in <br />ALS/BLS operations is to support the action taken by the <br />Hospital District in hiring an additional 12 paramedics for <br />the hospital's advance life support system. Neither the <br />Board of County Commissioners nor the South Indian River <br />District has taken any official stance on housing the 12 <br />paramedics to be hired. <br />When and if the Board of the South County Fire District <br />takes any action which might affect the union contract with <br />the Vero Beach Firefighters' Association, you can be sure <br />that you will be given advance notice and an opportunity to <br />participate. <br />We appreciate your concern for the public safety. <br />Sincerely, <br />SOUTH INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS <br />Don C.
