PURPOSE: The EMS Office of the Medical Director (“EMS”) requests the approval of the application to renew the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (“COPCN” or “Certificate”) for the City of Orlando Fire Department (“OFD”) to provide Advanced Life Support (“ALS”) transport services. OFD has submitted the attached application requesting the renewal of its COPCN which has been in effect since March 1997. In accordance with the Orange County Code of Ordinances, EMS has reviewed OFD’s renewal application. EMS has not received any substantial and material complaints against OFD, and the status of OFD has not substantially and materially changed. Accordingly, EMS recommends that the Orange County Board of County Commissioners renew OFD’s Certificate.
