ABLE AMBULANCE - RENEWAL OF CLASS "B" CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY The Board reviewed a Memorandum of July 5, 1996: TO: Honorable Board of County Commissioners THROUGH: Jim Chandler, County A istrator FROM: Doug Wright, Director Department of Emergency Services DATE: July 5, 1996 SUBJECT: Renewal of Able Ambulance Class °B° Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to Provide Non -Emergency Advanced Life Support Interfacility Transport Services It is respectfully requested the information contained herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at the meeting scheduled for July 16, 1996. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS On August 9, 1994, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved a Certificate' of Public Convenience and Necessity to provide ALS/BLS non -emergency interfacility transport services within Indian River County pursuant to Chapter 304 of the Indian River County Code of Laws and Ordinances. The certificate was issued for a period of two years as provided by the ordinance referenced above. The certificate will expire on August 9, 1996, and the renewal process should be accomplished prior to that date. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The Indian River County Code provides for routine renewal of the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity on 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, requests the Board issue and renew the certificate routinely. An application has been completed requesting renewal of the certificate. The EMS Director and Medical Director have reviewed the application, EMS protocol, and other pertinent facts and information and after consultation with the County Attorney, certifies no reasons are known or perceived that would require a public hearing pursuant to the established ordinance.
