CONSENT <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Honorable Board of County Commissioners <br />THROUGH: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />THROUGH: Tad Stone, Director <br />Department of Emergency Services <br />FROM: Erin Sawyer, Staff Assistant IV <br />Department of Emergency Services <br />DATE: September 20, 2021 <br />SUBJECT: Approval of Renewal for a Class "E" Certificate of Public Convenience <br />and Necessity for Senior Resource Association to Provide Wheelchair <br />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 />Background: <br />On August 13, 2019, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved a renewal <br />of Class `B" Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for Indian River County Senior <br />Resource Association to provide Wheelchair transportation originating within Indian River County. <br />This certificate was necessary in order to comply with Indian River Code of Laws and Ordinances as <br />specified in Chapter 304. The certificate was approved and renewed for a period of two (2) years and <br />will expire October 2, 2021, and the renewal process should be accomplished prior to that date. <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 "E" certificate has been submitted by Senior Resource <br />Association. Staff has reviewed the application and no reasons are known or perceived that would <br />require a public hearing pursuant to the established ordinance. <br />FUNDING: <br />There are no funding requirements for this item. <br />33 <br />
