E.

The letter <br />also refers to the scheduled fire district and ALS consolidation to <br />be effective October 1, 1992, and the desire for the Town to become <br />an ALS provider as a separate entity, not as a part of the county ALS <br />service. ' <br />The letter from Mayor Gierhart makes reference to two resolutions <br />passed by the Town Council which resolves that: <br />1. The Town make application to the state to become licensed <br />as an ALS provider through its Public Safety Department; <br />and, <br />2. The Indian River County Commission be notified that the <br />Town is making application to become an ALS provider by <br />October 1, 1991, and that the Commission is requested to <br />refund to the Town General Fund ad valorem taxes collected <br />from Indian River Shores' properties to fund the county ALS <br />portion of its.budget for 1991-92 fiscal year. <br />29 <br />BOOK FAGS <br />
