T930 in the best interest of the City for establishments to sell /serve alco-
holic beverages. Ordinance 19, 1980, amending the permissible hours for

ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION:
INTER -CITY Mr. Howard Lebrecht, Director of Operations of the Inter -City First Aid
FIRST AID SQUAD Squad, Inc., addressed the Council re: the corporation's plans to con-
tinue their Basic Life Support Emergency Service but discontinue their
Advanced Life Support Service on October 1, 1980, unless they receive
$208,000, their annual operating cost for this service, in contributions.
Noting that the City's 1980/1981 budget is now in final draft form, the
Council was not receptive to donating $112,170 of the taxpayers' money
to maintain this advanced service in the City for another year or approx.
$13,000 to maintain it for an additional month. These amounts, per Mr.
Lebrecht, are based on the Area Planning Boards estimation of the popula-
tion in the City versus the populations of other municipalities in Zone
2 (i.e., Lake Park, Mangonia Park, and Royal Palm Beach).
Alternate methods of advanced life support services being available to
the residents of the City will be considered by the Council at a future
date. These alternate methods include the City: establishing its own
service; contracting with a conimercial ambulance service; or establishing
a Taxing District to fund the service.
