(b)
The Health Director shall investigate any proposed change as specified in subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section and shall either approve or disapprove any such change. Within ten (10) days of receiving notice of the Health Director's decision, an ambulance service provider licensee may file with the Health Director a notice of appeal to the Board of Supervisors. If the ambulance service provider licensee desires a hearing before the Board of Supervisors, the licensee shall request such a hearing in writing at the time of filing the appeal.

The Health Director shall investigate any proposed change as specified in subdivision (a)(4) of this section and shall file a report and recommendation with the Board regarding such proposal. The Board shall thereafter hold a hearing on such change as provided in this Chapter.
