AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1418
WHICH ESTABLISHED THE RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE GRANTING OF
FRANCHISES TO OPERATE AUTHORIZED EMERGENCY AMBULANCE VEHICLES
OVER, ALONG, AND UPON THE STREETS OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS .
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS does ordain as fol-
lows :
SECTION 1. That Section 2 of Ordinance No. 1418 shall be
amended to read as follows :
SECTION 2. ISSUANCE OR DENIAL OF FRANCHISE. The granting of
franchises under the terms of this ordinance will be by resolution.
(a) The City Council of the City of Redlands may order the
issuance of a franchise to conduct an ambulance service
within the jurisdiction of the City upon finding that
the public health, safety, welfare, convenience, and
necessity require the availability of such ambulance
services, and that the applicant meets all requirements
of this ordinance.
(b) The City Council of the City of Redlands may order the
denial of a franchise on the grounds of infeasibility.
Whenever a new application is filed under the provisions
of this ordinance for a franchise to provide ambulance
service within the City Limits when services already
exist, the City Council may determine, after due inves-
tigation by the City Manager as a matter of fact, that
there does not exist in the City sufficient potential
need for ambulance service to justify the granting of
an additional, separate and distinct, franchise for use
within the City limits. Predicated on this, the City
Council may deny the application as being economically
and financially unsound and not in the public interest
and welfare.
(c) The granting of the franchise is conditional upon the
grantee ' s filing with the City Clerk of the City of
Redlands, within ten days, a written acceptance thereof
and agreement to comply with the terms and conditions
herein set forth.
SECTION 3. This ordinance is declared to be an emergency
measure for the preservation of the public health and safety in
accordance with the provisions of the Government Code of the
State of California.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk of the City of Redlands shall cer-
tify to the adoption of this ordinance and cause it to be published
once in the Redlands Daily Facts, a newspaper of general circula-
tion published and circulated in the City of Redlands, California.
This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon._ its adoption.
