Dear Commissioner Coyle:
6/26/2012 Item 17.E.
City of Marco Island
On June 18, 2012 the City of Marco Island City Council reviewed the Ordinance creating the Collier County
Public Safety Authority. The Council unanimously agreed that a fair representation of membership is critical
to create a seamless system for pre- hospdW care within Collier County. After much discussion the Council
endorsed the Ordinance and strongly recommends two changes that would give greater credibility to this
body. Having been involved in this process I and the Council feel that the Authority needs to be the
reviewing and recommending agency to the County Commission for the issuance of Certificates of Public
Convenience and Necessity and therefore make the following recommendations:
Section One, _Page_ 4,_ Number 13._ To review all C.O.P.C.N (Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity) requests and make a recommendation to the Collier
County Commission.
Another issue is that in order to allow the Medical Director Sub - Committee to function and
review patient care cases that open.
• Section Three, Page 7, Number 3. That the Medical Directors Subcommittee can act as
the Quality Assurance Subcommittee to the Public Salety Authority as defined in FSS
401.
The above issues are Important to our Council and our citizens. The Council applauds the County
Commission for taking this positive first step improving the quality of care to the residents and visitors of
Collier County. We will be making recommendations to the Commission and the appropriate agencies for
representatives of the City of Marco Island including the potential positions of a citizen representative.
Pleas"a the Ordinance with the recommendations as stated above.
ncer y,
Lary age]
