Proclamation
Making the City of Mounds View a Heart Safe Community -- August, 2016
Whereas, the Mounds View Police Department consists of trained First Responders who provide
emergency assistance in times of medical emergencies including Sudden Cardiac Arrest; and
Whereas, the Mounds View Police Department is equipped, willing and able to coordinate the resources
and education efforts of the Heart Safe Community Program; and
Whereas, providing education, CPR and AED training, and sharing information on the placement of
AED’s in the community increases the survival of Sudden Cardiac Arrest; and
Whereas, the goal of the City of Mounds View is to improve the chances that anyone suffering a Sudden
Cardiac Arrest will have the best possible chance for survival; and
Whereas, bystander CPR and access to an AED is a vital piece of the Chain of Survival for victims of
Sudden Cardiac Arrest; and
Whereas, the Heart Safe Community Program increases the chances a victim will have the opportunity to
receive bystander CPR in our community.
Now therefore, be it resolved, that the Mounds View City Council formally designates August
20, 2016, as the launch of the initiative for the City of Mounds View to become a Heart Safe
