AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Issuance of Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
(COPCN) to Key Largo Volunteer Ambulance Corps., Inc. (KLVAC) for the operation of an ALS
transport ambulance service.
ITEM BACKGROUND: In August of 2006 a COPCN was issued to KLVAC to operate an ALS
transport ambulance service. This certificate will be expiring on August 24, 2008. In view of the
foregoing KLVAC is applying to renew this COPCN which would become effective August 25, 2008,
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On August 16, 2006 the MCBOCC approved the
issuance of a COPCN to KLVAC for the operation of an ALS transport ambulance service for the
period August 25, 2006 through August 24, 2008,
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES: The current COPCN that KLVAC currently has expires
on August 24, 2008. The renewal being applied for will cover the period August 25, 2008 through
August 24, 2010.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: The Monroe County Code allows the issuance of COPCN for the
purpose of providing essential emergency medical services to the various geographical areas of Monroe
County. The KLVAC complies with the requirements of the said Code and Chapter 401 Florida
Statute, so in view of the foregoing MCFR staff recommends the approval of the renewal of a COPCN
so they can continue to provide these services to their specific area of the County.
