Harris for a business permit to operate a second ambulance service within the city was tab- led to January 5 , 1965 , and at that time tabled again to this date with referral to the City Attorney. At this time, Councilman Cummings; moved that the permit be denied, based upon the following findings ; 1. "Public necessity and convenience does not justify two ambulance services operating concurrently in the City of Redlands . 2 . The Council finds that two ambulance services using city streets concurrently would require uneconomic operation of both, resulting, in ineffective or complete loss of service to all in Redlands . During the past five years two ambulance services attempting to :ce operate in Redlands have been forced to discontinue for economic i reasons . The council must take all steps necessary and proper to preserve and maintain effective and competent ambulance service! -is and it is unreasonable and contrary to the public interest to permit more than one such service at this time . The operation of an ambulance service involves specialized know- ledge and skill which requires the council to exercise its reasonable discretion in assuring favorable conditions for compe- tent and effective ambulance service for the protection of the community ' s health, safety and welfare . The current franchise holder possess and exercises sufficient knowledge and skill. such' skill and knowledge has not been demonstrated on the part of the applicants . 4 . Ordinance No. 1200, granting the existing franchise , was adopted as an emergency measure to provide ambulance service for the community. Prior to its adoption the city was without ambulance service altogether at times because more than one service has not been economically feasible . Granting a further franchise at this time would jeopardize the purpose for which Ordinance 1.200 was adopted. 5 . The co"neil ' s findings are based in part upon reports and recom- mendations of the City Manager and Chief of Police consistant therewith, which have been read and considered by the council and are made a part of these minutes. " Motion was seconded by Councilman Hartzell and carried unanimously. A proposed revision of sewer rates and charges - as set forth in Resolution No . 2426 - was discussed at some length.
