Brown, County Administrator <br />THROUGH: John King, Director <br />Department of Emergency Services <br />FROM: Cory Richter, Battalion Chief <br />Department of Emergency Services Fire Rescue <br />DATE: March 9, 2018 <br />SUBJECT: Approval of Renewal for a Class `B" Certificate of Public Convenience and <br />Necessity for Falck Southeast II, Corp d/b/a American Ambulance Service to <br />Provide Interfacility Ambulance Transportation Services. <br />It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein be given formal consideration by the <br />Board of County Commissioners at the next scheduled meeting. <br />DESCRIPTION <br />On March 1, 2016, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved a renewal for <br />a Class `B" Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for Falck Southeast II, Corp d/b/a <br />American Ambulance Service to provide interfacility ambulance medical transportation originating <br />within Indian River County. This certificate was necessary in order to comply with Indian River <br />Code of Laws and Ordinances as specified in Chapter 304. The certificate was approved for a period <br />of two (2) years and will expire March 27, 2018. <br />The Indian River County Code provides for routine renewal of the EMS Certificate of Public <br />Convenience and Necessity on an application by the certificate holder. This can be accomplished <br />without a public hearing if the Board has no reason to believe that the public health, safety, and <br />welfare require it. Staff submits that there is no reason to hold a public hearing and absent that <br />requirement, the Board is requested to renew the certificate. <br />An application for the renewal of the Class "B" Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity has <br />been submitted by Falck Southeast II, Corp d/b/a American Ambulance Service. Staff has reviewed <br />the application and no reasons are known or perceived that would require a public hearing pursuant <br />to the established ordinance. <br />52 <br />
