Moved by Jordan, seconded by Gronen that the Minutes of July 10, 2000, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Fire Chief to purchase three automatic external defibrillators and software required to perform evaluations for use of the automatic external defibrillators for a total cost of $11,380.00 was reviewed. Nationally, Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) are being used by trained firefighters before the arrival of paramedic units. Locally, they are being used to save lives in businesses and offices such as the Statehouse. Waterloo Fire Rescue is currently training firefighters so the entire department will be able to use the external defibrillators. Firefighters now carry equipment to start treatment before or in conjunction with the paramedics on the scene. The AEDs would further enhance the firefighters' ability to care for citizens and increase the possibility of survival from cardiac arrest. With each passing minute before defibrillation the chance for survival drops 10 percent. Waterloo Fire Rescue will use current bond money to purchase three Automatic External Defibrillators and the training aid needed for the quarterly checks and training for the department and the software required to perform evaluations for use of the AEDs as required by law. The total cost to purchase the AEDs and software from Medtronic Physio-Control is $11,380.00. Moved by Gronen, seconded by Jordan that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
