Item 1

Consider a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for Liberty Ambulance Service, Inc. In accordance with Section 401.25, F.S. and pursuant to St. Johns County Ordinance 2012-20, Liberty Ambulance Services, Inc. (Liberty) submitted an application for renewal of its previously issued COPCN. Ordinance
2012-20 provides that renewals shall be based upon the same standards as considered in granting of the original certificate along with other factors as may be relevant. Fire Rescue staff conducted an initial review of the renewal application and determined that: (1) there is a public necessity for the service; (2) Liberty has sufficient knowledge and experience to properly operate the proposed service; (3)
Liberty has sufficient personnel and equipment to adequately cover the proposed service area; and (4) Liberty has satisfactorily performed the services for the term of the original certificate.

Accordingly, as provided in Ordinance 2012-20, Section 10, Fire Rescue staff recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners issue a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to Liberty subject to the following conditions: (1) Liberty shall provide to the County a quarterly report on the status of the pending action for the full term of the Certificate or until the action is resolved, which every occurs first; (2) Liberty shall provide notice to the County of all actions taken to resolve the pending litigation
within thirty (30) days of such resolution; (3) Liberty shall provide prompt notice (no less than 5 business days) of any complaints regarding services provided in the subject service area. If granted, the renewed Certificate shall be effective for a term beginning on March 6, 2016 and expiring on March 6, 2019 to provide Class B/C services within the geographic boundaries of St. Johns County.

Item 7

Budget Transfer for initial Architecture and Engineering for the VA Clinic. St. Johns County continues to work with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to find a permanent location for their new St. Augustine Community-Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC). The VA is currently providing services from their temporary facilities at the intersection of Old Moultrie Road and Southpark Blvd. On December 15, 2015
the VA issued a notice of their desire to enter into a sole source contract with the County to lease built-to-suit space for a new CBOC adjacent to the St. Johns County Health and Human Services Center. In order to determine the feasibility of the project, prepare and submit a proposal in response to the VA’s sole source
solicitation, and move forward with negotiations, the County needs Architectural and Engineering support to analyze and determine the costs of the VA’s construction requirements. This expense was not budgeted for FY16; therefore, a transfer from General Fund Reserves in the amount not to exceed $50,000 is necessary if
negotiations are to progress.

operations in one location; thereby, making the process more efficient for staff and
board members to locate information such as: each board’s mission and purpose;
qualifications and membership requirements; and numerous rules and policies of the
Board of County Commissioners relevant to appointed boards and committees.
