Baird, County Administrator <br />On October 9, 2012, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved a renewal of <br />the Class "A" Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the Indian River County <br />Department of Emergency Services to provide BLS/ALS Emergency Medical Services originating <br />within Indian River County. This certificate was necessary in order to comply with Indian River Code <br />of Laws and Ordinances as specified in Chapter 304. The certificate was approved and renewed for a <br />period of two (2) years and will expire October 15, 2014, and the renewal process should be <br />accomplished prior to that date. <br />The Indian River County Code provides for routine renewal of the Certificate of Public Convenience <br />and Necessity on an application by the certificate holder. This can be accomplished without a public <br />hearing if the Board has no reason to believe that the public health, safety, and welfare require it. Staff <br />submits that there is no reason to hold a public hearing and absent that requirement, the Board is <br />requested to renew the certificate. <br />An application for the renewal of the Class "A" certificate has been submitted by Indian River County <br />Department of Emergency Services. Staff has reviewed the application and no reasons are known or <br />perceived that would require a public hearing pursuant to the established ordinance. <br />FUNDING: <br />There are no funding requirements for this item. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff respectfully recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve renewal of the Class <br />"A" Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the Indian River County Department of <br />Emergency Services, to be effective for a period of two (2) years from October 15, 2014, to October <br />15, 2016. <br />166 <br />
