17 <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />r <br />FROM: Charles P. Vitunac, County Attorney <br />DATE: July 14, 1988 <br />RE: PROPOSED LEASE AGREEMENT - CITY OF SEBASTIAN <br />AND INDIAN RIVER COUNTY FOR AMBULANCE SQUAD <br />Board Meeting - July 26, 1988 - <br />Attached 1s correspondence and the first page of a proposed <br />lease from the City of Sebastian to Indian River County of <br />the former Sebastian Ambulance' Squad facilities. -The County_ <br />would be required to sublease the property to the Fdllsmere- <br />Volunteer Ambulance Squad. <br />The cover letter from the City of Sebastian Assistant <br />Finance Director indicates that Sebastian believes -that <br />Indian River County has the statutory responsibility to <br />provide ambulance service. This is not correct --Florida law <br />gives the County the power to provide ambulance service but <br />does not require it to. <br />I request direction from the Board whether to enter Into <br />this lease and sublease arrangement. <br />Attorney Vitunac advised that staff sees no reason for the <br />County to get involved with the Sebastian owned site and lease it <br />to the Fellsmere Volunteer Ambulance Squad. Sebastian can act as <br />a landlord as well or better than the county could. <br />Commissioner Eggert stated that she had very strong feelings <br />about not getting involved, and Administrator Balczun advised <br />that staff also felt very strongly that we should not be <br />involved. <br />N <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously directed <br />the County Attorney not to enter into the proposed <br />lease and sublease arrangement. <br />51 <br />BOOK � FH,E ?97 <br />
