§ 10-120. Board action on application.  


Latest version.
  • An application for a certificate or permit under this article, and the board's review and consideration thereof, does not involve a determination whether the applicant is entitled, as a matter of right, to such certificate or permit; rather the board's review and consideration of such application is an exercise of the board's sound discretion, a statutorily delegated legislative duty. The board's consideration of an application pursuant to this article is an exercise of a quasi-executive or quasi-legislative policy-making function. See, County of Volusia v. City of Daytona Beach, 420 So.2d 606 (Fla. 5th DCA 1982). The board's ultimate decision shall be based on its determination whether or not the certificate or permit applied for, if granted, would enhance the safe, efficient and effective provision of emergency medical transportation service or, as the case may be, nonemergent medical transportation service on either a county-wide basis, or within a particular area or zone of the county.
