BACKGROUND
On August 20, 2025, Positive Mobility, Inc. dba Elite Medical Response formed an LLC as Positive Mobility, LLC dba Elite Medical Response and submitted a renewal application to request the name change to us on September 15, 2025. On July 2, 2024 Positive Mobility, Inc. dba Elite Medical Response was granted a Class “B” and Class “C” Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to provide non-emergency ambulance inter-facility transports originating within Indian River County. This certificate was necessary to comply with Indian River Code of Laws and Ordinances as specified in Chapter 304. The certificate was approved for a period of two (2) years and is set to expire July 22, 2026, and the renewal process should be accomplished prior to that date.
The Indian River County Code provides for routine renewal of the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity on an application by the certificate holder. This can be accomplished without a public hearing if the Board has no reason to believe that the public health, safety, and welfare require it. Staff submits that there is no reason to hold a public hearing and absent that requirement, the Board is requested to renew the certificate.
An application for the renewal of the Class “B” and Class “C” certificate has been submitted by Positive Mobility, LLC dba Elite Medical Response. Staff has reviewed the application, and no reasons are known or perceived that would require a public hearing pursuant to the established ordinance.
