§ 50-59. Rights and duties granted by certificate.

(a)

The certificate granted by the Board shall be valid for one calendar year and shall be personal to the applicant and not transferable. In the case of a corporation, if there occurs such a transfer of stock or other incidents of ownership as to change the majority or largest stockholder, a new certificate must be applied for. Changes in the officers of the corporation will not require a new certificate.

(b)

Acceptance of the certificate by the applicant shall obligate the applicant to:

(1)

Service the entire zone granted to the applicant.

(2)

Provide coverage to adjoining zones, if available, when requested to do so by emergency dispatch for emergency calls when the certificate holder for that zone is unable to respond.

(3)

Keep posted at his place of business a copy of the fee schedule, which must be filed with the Administrator (if applicable).

(4)

Operate in accordance with the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to this Ordinance and any applicable County Ordinances, and F.S. ch. 401, and any administrative regulations adopted pursuant thereto.

(5)

Employ at all times sufficient personnel experienced in operation and management of emergency medical services to ensure proper and efficient operation.
