NEW BUSINESS - RESOLUTIONS/ORDINANCES
Resolution amending Resolution No. 74-1084 which
granted the applications set forth therein for the
replacement and transfer of Certificates of Public
Convenience and Necessity.
Public Convenience & Necessity Certificate C-783, held
by Yellow Cab Co. of Miami, covered 72 vehicles until
the City Commission meeting of September 27, 1974, at
Which time the Commission approved the tranfer of one
vehicle from this certificate. At that time the
remaining 71 vehicles should have been transferred from
C-783 to a replacement certificate bearing C-800. Due
to an omission in the request for a resolution this
was not done.
28. ** Resolution ratifying and confirming the action taken
by the City Manager in authorizing the emergency
7 .., Z 1 purchase without formal bidding of medical supplies
for the Rescue Division of the Department of Fire,
in an amount not to exceed $3,000.00.
** The Rescue Division submitted requisitions estimating
their quarterly requirements for medical supplies and
first aid equipment in the approximate amount of $3,000.
Because of the fact that the Rescue Division is danger-
ously low on many of the supplies needed and formal
bidding processes would create n serious delay in the
delivery of these supplies, it was necessary to author-
ize this emergency purchase. This order will allow the
Rescue Division to have supplies on hand and will give
the Purchasing Division time to formally bid the require-
ments for the remainder of the 1974-75 fiscal year.
City Manager recommends.
29. ** Resolution authorizing the City Manager to take the
40. necessary steps to publicly advertise and to solicit
