This certificate was necessary in order to comply with Indian River County Code <br />of Laws and Ordinances as specified in Chapter 304. The certificate was approved and renewed <br />for a period of two (2) years and will expire May 4, 2020. <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 <br />accomplished without a public hearing if the Board has no reason to believe that the public <br />health, safety and welfare require it. Staff submits that there is no reason to hold a public hearing <br />and absent that 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 <br />has been submitted by Coastal Health Systems of Brevard Inc. Staff has reviewed the <br />application and no reasons are known or perceived that would require a public hearing pursuant <br />to the established ordinance. <br />FUNDING: <br />There is no funding required for this item. <br />44 <br />
