AGENDA ITEM #8.1 <br /> c��►of <br /> Pequot <br /> Lakes! _ <br /> REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL <br /> Report Prepared by: Sergeant Chad Turcotte <br /> Date: March 5, 2019 <br /> Subiect: LUCAS CPR Device <br /> Report: The LUCAS CPR device is a mechanical chest compression device <br /> that helps with lifesaving measures. It is designed to deliver uninterrupted <br /> compressions at a consistent rate and depth to facilitate return of spontaneous <br /> circulation. This device will help officers save lives due to sudden cardiac arrest <br /> and avoid neurological damage during an event by supplying a steady supply of <br /> oxygen to both the heart and the brain. CPR is nothing short of tiring and difficult <br /> and this device will free up first responders to focus on other duties to best save <br /> lives. <br /> The cost to purchase the LUCAS CPR device from Stryker Emergency Care is <br /> $16,221.77 (minus sales tax) which is a non-budgeted expenditure. The Police <br /> Department has received $3,000 in donations from various donors and a $2,500 <br /> grant from Sourcewell for this device. We have also received an ongoing donation <br /> commitment from a community organization and a homeowner until the LUCAS <br /> device is fully paid. Any potential remaining cost for the device will be paid for by <br /> utilizing forfeiture funds. <br /> Council Action Reauested: <br /> • Council motion accepting the grant from Sourcewell in the amount of <br /> $2,500 for the LUCAS CPR device. <br /> • Council motion approving the purchase of the LUCAS CPR device in the <br /> amount of$16,221.77 from Stryker Emergency Care to be paid for with the <br /> grant, donations, and forfeiture funds as noted above. <br />
