GREEN COVE SPRINGS – The Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing to renew a public convenience and necessity service ambulance application for MT Medical.

Deputy Fire Chief Jason Boree told commissioners the contract should be renewed. He also said three other private providers currently hold Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity within county lines.

The motion passed, 4-0.

There also was a discussion on three public hearings to discuss the purchase and sale of real property for the county’s Bonded Transportation Program.

The two of the trio included the purchase and sale agreement for land necessary to “harmonize the sidewalks” for two parcels of land off County Road 739 B, which would meet Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 compliance, according to Ed Dendor, Bonded Transportation Administrator.

The third purchase, which would complete harmonization with sidewalks, would be executed for a portion of CR 218.

Each of the motions passed unanimously. County Manager Howard Wanamaker will execute documents on behalf of the county.

Also on the docket was a review of the staff’s ranking of two Request for Proposal submissions for solid waste transfer stations.

A committee composed of the Facilities Director, Environmental Services Director and Recycling Coordinator performed the evaluations, with Waste Management scoring a 95.7 and Solid Waste Southeast scoring 85.7. Staff recommended both companies to provide a presentation at their next meeting on April 25.
