HEARING ON AMBULANCE FRANCHISE Mayor Butler opened the hearing scheduled at 2:00 P.M. to consider application of City Ambulance Company for an ambulance franchise. Mr. Price Ashton represented the City Ambulance Company, stating there were some people present to speak in favor of granting the franchises - and some letters endorsing the City Ambulance Company were read. Mr. Nat Richter said a second company was needed in Austin as he had heard of a number of cases where the present company refused to pick up patients for lack of funds. Mr. Victor Manning, Adult Services Council, outlined the failure of the present company to recognize Medicare or other insurance programs for its payment and insisted on cash payments. He said Mr. Carter, City Ambulance Company, would never refuse service to a patient because he could not pay cash in advance. In discussion of collections, Mr. Smith knew of only three methods of collection offer free service, require cash in advance, or bill later. The Adult Services Council supports the franchise for the City Ambulance Company. 652 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 17, 1971 Mr. Manning believed competition is needed. Mrs. Edwin Ally, Adult Service Council, spoke against a monopoly. The matter of public convenience and necessity was reviewed by the City Attorney; and that in addition, the provision required that existing ambulance and transfer services would not be so adversely effected so as to lower its standards. Mr. Doyle Carter, applicant, reviewed his operation as to location of ambulances to provide the service in the county at this time, and described his ambulance facilities. He alleged the existing company took 45 minutes to answer a call. Mr. Conwell Smith, Austin Ambulance Service, answered the allegations, stating there were no facts no statistics presented; that the company did recognize Medicare and Medicaid; and that they answered calls in 15 minutes. He discussed the service to the strategic areas where most of the emergency calls emanate. He pointed out the evidence presented was strictly on their method of collection for transfer calls, which was approved by a prior Council. There were no facts that an additional ambulance service would be a public need and convenience. In conclusion, Mr. Smith stated the opposition did not present one fact that his service was not satisfactory, although his company had made over 40,000 calls in the last five years. The applicants did not prove that they could operate at a profit, which is a part of the stipulation. Mr. Smith said his company would operate with the collection of transfers at the Council's wishes and direction. After Mayor Butler ascertained there were no others to be heard on this application for an embulance franchise, Councilman Dryden made a motion that the service continue with Mr. Smith's firm with the understanding that the intricacies of the transfer patient and the collection be worked out mutually with the City Manager, Mr. Andrews, and the Austin Ambulance Service. Не withdrew this motion. Councilman Dryden moved that the franchise not be allowed to the City Ambulance Company, since credentials presented did not prove the necessity for the City at this time. The motion, seconded by Councilman Love, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Dryden, Love, Lebermann, Mayor Butler Noes: Councilmen Nichols, Friedman, Handcox The Franchise for City Ambulance Company was denied.
