Payment approved on motion of Councilman Wagner, secor request of Mr. Everett May and Mr. Mack K. 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 deniod, based upon, the following fundings: 1. "Public necessity and convenience does not ,justify two ambulance services operating concurrently ire. 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 yews two ambulance services attempting to We operate in Redlands have been forced to discontinue for economics se 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 pormit more than one sucrh ao vice at this time. 3. The operation of an ambulance service involves specialized know- ledge and skill which requires thea council to exercise its reasonable discretion in assuring favorable conditions for compe- tont and effective ambulance service for the protection of the oo unity's health, safety and welfare. The current franchise holder possess and exercises sufficient knowledge and skill. Such skill, and knowledge has not boon demonstrated on the past 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 adaption the city was without ambulance service altogether at times because more than one service has not been economically feasible. Granting a furthOr franchise at this time would ,jeopardise the purpose for which Ordinance 1200 was adopted. 5. The council' s findings are based in part upon reporter and recom- mendsstidns of the City Manager and Comet of Police consi.stant therewith, which have been read and con.si.dored by the council and are made a part of these minutes.
