The Indian River County Code provides for routine renewal of the EMS Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity on an application by the certificate holder. This can be accomplished without a public hearing if the Board has no reason to believe that the public health, safety and welfare require it. Staff submits that there is no reason to hold a public hearing and absent that requirement, the Board is requested to renew the certificate. An application for the renewal of the Class "A" certificate has been submitted by Indian River Shores Department of Public Safety. Staff has reviewed the application and no reasons are known or perceived that would require a public hearing pursuant to the established ordinance. FUNDING: There is no funding required for this item. 54
