HomeMy WebLinkAbout#03 - AED Donation STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 18, 2023
CONSENT
TO: City Council
FROM: Dustin Kalis, Fire Chief & Danelle Erickson, Sergeant
AGENDA ITEM: Accept donation of AEDs from the Washington County Sherriff’s Office
REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
BACKGROUND:
The fire department maintains 9 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for use within the fire
department, city hall and the Sally Manzara Nature Center. Four of these units are past or nearing
the end of the manufactures’ expected life.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
Should the City Council accept the donation of AEDs from the Washington County Sherriff’s Office?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
Earlier this year, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office received 80 new AEDs through a grant. Of
the AEDs that were being taken out of service, Sergeant Erickson was able to secure 10 of their
newer AEDs to be redistributed within the City of Lake Elmo. Seven of these AEDs will be used by
the fire department, one will be used in lobby of the City Center, one at the Sally Manzara Nature
Center and we are also able to provide a unit to the Lake Elmo Public Works Department. The
donation also includes a number of spare pads and batteries that the fire department will maintain
for future replacement and service needs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no current budget impact with this donation. There will be no additional costs for training,
as in-service training on these devices will be conducted during already scheduled training drills and
duty shifts. Any future needs of service repairs, replacement pads and batteries will be provided
within the fire department budget.
With this donation, the city is able to save approximately $19,000 in equipment replacement costs.
RECOMMEDNATION:
Accept donation from WCSO. If removed from the consent agenda, staff recommends the following
moton:
“Motion to adopt Resolution 2023-037 Accepting a Donation from the Washington County
Sheriff’s Office.”
