to the Durham County EMS Director,
who will then conduct a background investigation to review service delivery
history, professionalism/competency of the applicant?s personnel, and the
financial stability of the applicant.
These findings must then be presented to the Durham County EMS Council, whose comments must be included
in the EMS Director?s report to the Board.
Tri-Star Medical Transport Inc. submitted an application for
consideration in January 2005. After
gathering additional information related to the application and completing a
background investigation, the application and background information was
presented to the EMS Council on May 19, 2005.

clarification of procedural issues, the Council approved the submission of the
