Kalstabakken, Chief of Polic AGEN 6 ATTACHMENTS: Worksheet APPROVED BY: 4L A donation in the amount of $1900 has been received for the Police Equipment Fund for the purpose of purchasing an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). The donation is from a Rosemount resident who has requested anonymity. This donor's family was personally affected by the availability of an AED when a family member suffered a heart attack and was revived by a police officer using an AED. The family wants to ensure that this valuable piece of equipment is available to the first responders in Rosemount, i.e. the police officers and fire fighters. Council is asked to authorize the purchase of an AED with these donated funds. Cost of a unit is estimated at $1850 plus shipping and handling. The family_ encourages other residents, businesses and community organizations to make donations to fund the purchase of additional AEDs for placement in each squad car and fire unit that will respond to medical emergencies. The Police Department currently has three (3) AEDs and this donation will allow for the purchase of a fourth. This will ensure that each officer that is typically on -duty during the heaviest staffing time will have an AED in the officer's squad.

A third unit is kept on afire pumper. Currently, the fire staff feels there AED contingent is adequate considering that police officers are also typically on the scene of medicals when an AED may be needed.
