Jim Ross of City Cab of Vero Beach explained that they have 6 <br />trucks in differing sizes in an attempt to be prepared for all <br />situations. He cited several recent incidents; one in which a man <br />was trapped under a car which had to be lifted. The closest <br />wrecker lifted the car and then an appropriately sized truck came <br />at a later time to remove the car. In another incident, a wrecker <br />was called to assist quickly in removing a station wagon from a <br />canal with children trapped inside. <br />Mr. Ross emphasized that most of these businesses are situated <br />in outlying areas which could necessitate the operator driving <br />clear across the county to reach the tow truck, possibly through or <br />around the emergency situation, before ever being able to even <br />start getting the truck to the lives in jeopardy. <br />Mike Jaholkowski of Mike's Garage stated he has been*in the <br />wrecker business for 31 years and agreed the regulations should <br />remain as they are. <br />Attorney B. T. Cooksey, representing John Seeley and standing <br />in for Mr. O'Neill who is away on a family emergency, commended the <br />Board on their excellent staff and stated that: "if you use them, <br />you will be all right". Mr. and Mrs. Seeley polled the residents <br />of 12 lots and obtained signatures of 8, with an additional letter <br />from George Libonati, stating that having the tow truck in the <br />neighborhood does not cause any problems. <br />Attorney Cooksey has advised Mr. and Mrs. Seeley that the <br />County's ordinance does not permit the operator to bring wrecked or <br />disabled vehicles into the neighborhood and they have agreed that <br />they will not bring any into the neighborhood. They are not in <br />violation of the ordinance with respect to leaving their truck in <br />their driveway. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved <br />staff's recommendation to maintain the existing tow <br />truck regulations. <br />LIFELINE MEDICAL SERVICES, INC. - RENEWAL OF CLASS "D" <br />CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY - NON- <br />EMERGENCY <br />ONEMERGENCY ALS/BLS INTERFACILITY MEDICAL <br />TRANSPORTATION SERVICES <br />The Board <br />reviewed <br />a Memorandum of February 10, <br />1997: <br />FEBRUARY 25, <br />1997 <br />31 <br />DOOK <br />l l <br />
