This certificate was necessary to comply with Indian <br />River Code of Laws and Ordinances as specified in Chapter 304. The certificate was approved <br />and renewed for a period of two (2) years and will expire October 15, 2024, and the renewal <br />process should be accomplished prior to that date. <br />The Indian River County Code provides for routine renewal of the Certificate of Public Convenience <br />and Necessity on an application by the certificate holder. This can be accomplished without a public <br />hearing if the Board has no reason to believe that the public health, safety, and welfare require it. Staff <br />submits that there is no reason to hold a public hearing and absent that requirement, the Board is <br />requested to renew the certificate. <br />An application for the renewal of the Class "A" certificate has been submitted by Indian River <br />County Department of Emergency Services. Staff has reviewed the application, and no reasons are <br />known or perceived that would require a public hearing pursuant to the established ordinance. <br />91 <br />
