Commissioners decline request to expand non-emergency transport franchise
Summary
Bertie County commissioners voted 4-0 to deny a request to expand a non-emergency transport franchise, citing no evident need to protect residents’ health, safety, and welfare and to avoid affecting other franchises.
The Bertie County Board of Commissioners voted to decline a request to expand a non-emergency medical transport franchise during the March 16 work session. Commissioner Michael White moved to deny the expansion request, Commissioner Ron Roberson seconded, and the board recorded the motion as passing 4-0.
In the motion the board cited that there did not appear to be a need to protect and promote the health, safety, and welfare of county residents that would justify expansion, and that approval might adversely affect existing franchises. The transcript records the board’s formal decision but does not include the applicant’s proposal details or supporting data in the meeting record.
