According to the Ordinance for the Operation of Ambulance Services within Lee County that was adopted July 6, 1982, the Lee County Ambulance Advisory Committee shall be the enforcing agency for the regulation of the ordinance. Section 14.1 of the Ordinance lists some of the duties of the Committee which include receiving franchise proposals from potential providers, studying the proposals for conformance to the ordinance, recommending to the Board of Commissioners the award of the franchise to the applicant submitting the best proposals and other enforcement responsibilities. The Ambulance Advisory Committee had previously been established on August 3, 1981 when the Board of Commissioners adopted a Resolution Establishing the Lee County Ambulance Advisory Committee. At the time, EMS was run by the County and the Committee consisted of the Lee County Ambulance Service Director and two providers of health services and two non-providers and the Board retained the right to expand or reduce the role of the Committee and/or the size of the Committee as they feel the need occurs. With the upcoming EMS franchise expiring and with the potential of multiple providers staff is requesting the Committee be revived. Staff is recommending that the Board give the Manager the authority to appoint the individuals to the Committee which should consist of the Emergency Management Director, two members of the health- care field and two members with EMS knowledge. The Emergency Management Director will be a permanent committee member and the other four members will serve three year terms. The Committee will need to meet at least quarterly to hear updates from the EMS Franchisee.
