Mr. Burdsall supported the ordinance, but had questions about <br />who would be providing services for wheelchair patients, not <br />ambulance, of those providers currently on rotation, if this <br />ordinance passes. <br />County Attorney Vitunac responded that there was a 10 -day <br />grace period built in, but if it was not enough time to get the <br />certificates to the providers, a later date should be picked. <br />Commissioner Eggert suggested a November 1st effective date, <br />and Emergency Services Director Doug Wright agreed from the <br />audience, to allow sufficient time to accomplish the paper work. <br />County Attorney Vitunac recommended the effective date be <br />changed to November 1, 1995. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked if applications could be sent to the <br />list of providers previously involved. She thought that those <br />under contract had already been listed. <br />It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the <br />Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously <br />adopted Ordinance 95-22, as amended, <br />establishing regulations governing wheelchair <br />services to become effective November 1, 1995. <br />ORDINANCE 95-22 <br />AN ORDINANCE OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, <br />FLORIDA, ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS <br />GOVERNING WHEELCHAIR SERVICES. <br />WHEREAS, it is in the public interest to regulate non -emergency <br />wheelchair transport services in Indian River County, <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY <br />COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, that: <br />SECTION 1.
