AGENDA ITEM #8.3 <br /> City of it <br /> Pequot <br /> Lakes====_. <br /> REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL <br /> Report Prepared by: Ryan Franz <br /> Date: April 5, 2022 <br /> Subject,: Request for funding for equipment purchase. <br /> Report: The Police Department has two Paramedics on staff. Sergeant Franz <br /> and Officer Fyle previously carried advanced level heart monitors that were <br /> obtained through a government program. The heart monitors are at end of life and <br /> are unable to be repaired. The approximate cost to obtain a refurbished heart <br /> monitor is $10,000 which is one-third of the cost of a new monitor. Sergeant Franz <br /> is working on grants and other sources of funding to help cover the cost but will <br /> still need approximately $6,000 to cover the cost of purchasing the device. This is <br /> an unexpected expenditure and is a non-budgeted item. <br /> Council Action Requested: <br /> 1. Council motion to approve the use of up to $6,000 from the general <br /> fund for the purchase of a LIFEPAK 15 heart monitor/defibrillator. <br />
