(COPCN) to Key Largo Volunteer Ambulance Corps., Inc. (KLVAC) for the operation of an ALS

ITEM BACKGROUND: In August of 2010 a COPCN was issued to KLVAC to operate an ALS
transport ambulance service. This certificate will be expiring on August 24, 2012. In view of the
foregoing KLVAC is applying to renew this COPCN which would become effective August 25, 2012.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On August 18, 2010 the MCBOCC approved the
issuance of a COPCN to KLVAC for the operation of an ALS transport ambulance service for the
period August 25, 2010 through August 24, 2012.
