BOOK 96 FnUE 412 <br />the following week to look at assigning Medicaid contracts the last <br />week of November. <br />It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the <br />Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Eggert appreciated Gary Burdsall's feelings. She <br />felt it was very important to accept the providers brought forward <br />today and to -take a minimum of 2-4 months to establish need. <br />Others can be processed right after that. She knew that Mr. <br />Burdsall has been providing good service. The process has been <br />followed routinely for ambulance transportation and she felt it <br />should be done for wheelchair transportation as well. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, <br />SECONDED BY Commissioner Adams, to accept the <br />providers brought forward today by staff <br />for their Certificate of Need; to waive the <br />filing fee for the Veterans Council and the <br />American Red Cross, because they charge no <br />fee; and reduce the application fee. to $50 for <br />the others. <br />When County Attorney Vitunac advised that the filing fee was <br />set by ordinance, Commissioner Eggert asked if the fee could be <br />adjusted in this unique situation because investigations did not, <br />have to be done to the same degree. County Attorney Vitunac agreed <br />this was a unique situation and the fee could be adjusted. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the <br />motion carried unanimously (4-0, Commissioner <br />Bird being absent). <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously (4- <br />0, Commissioner Bird being absent) approved a <br />moratorium on applications for two months <br />while need is established and that we begin <br />processing new applications February 1, 1996. <br />28 <br />October 24, 1995 <br />
