(a) Upon receipt of a completed application, the LEMSA shall conduct an inspection of the permit requester, including the applicant, any partner, officer, director, company and its ownership, to determine if there are any concerns related to the health, safety and welfare of the public. The inspection includes each vehicle, and its equipment and premises. A vehicle inspection fee is required per vehicle and the fee is approved by the board of supervisors. This required inspection shall be in addition to any other safety or motor vehicle inspections required or made under state, federal or local law.
(b) After the LEMSA has completed its inspection, it may issue the permit to be valid for a period of up to one year. The permit sticker must be placed on the window of the rear driver window of each permitted vehicle.
(c) Failed ambulance inspections will require a new inspection fee prior to the re-inspection of that ambulance. (§ 1, Ord. 1515, eff. December 19, 2019)
