Largo Volunteer Ambulance, Inc.; and
WHEREAS, over the course of time, Monroe County has seen a shift in the delivery of
these services resulting from the incorporation of municipalities within the County, the formation
of an independent special district (to wit: Key Largo Fire and Emergency Medical Services
District), and the dissolution of former special municipal services districts; and
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Emergency Services Department, specifically through
Monroe County Fire Rescue (MCFR), has strengthened its mission to relentlessly protect and
preserve life by responding with speed, skill, and determination to every emergency; and
WHEREAS,MCFR not only fights fires, but also provides advanced life support medical
services, prevents emergencies through education, and ensures the highest level of care during
every rescue, with an unwavering focus on minimizing harm, maximizing survival, and
safeguarding the health and safety of Monroe County communities; and
WHEREAS, due to the changes in the landscape for services, Monroe County no longer
requires services from volunteer fire and ambulance departments (non-profits) to support its
essential duties; therefore, it is necessary to repeal outdated language within the Monroe County
Code of Ordinances to be consistent with the current needs of the County; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners hereby finds and determines that the
actions described herein serve the best interests of the residents, visitors, and business owners in
Monroe County, Florida.
