Expenditure for Fire Department Stress Tests : ,�. : C3TY OF R�SEMOiTNT EXECUTIVE SLtMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: J�N[7ARY 5, 1993 AGENDA ITEM: AGENDA SECTION: EXPENDITURE FOR FIRE DEPT. STRESS TESTS CONSENT PREPAR.ED BY: AGENDA N���� � � �p SCOTT AKER, FIRE CHIEF �� ATTAC�iBNTS: AP , OVE B . BID This item is a request for authorization to proceed with stress tests for approximately one-third of the fire department. We rotate the fire department through this stress testing on a three-year cycle. This year we only have 9 persons who would be in need of taking their stress test. All of our stress tests, in the past, were done by Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville with the exception of those that were done in 1992 . During 1992 we engaged the services of South Suburban Medical Center in Farmington because they had a lower bid for these services. As Dr. Detlefsen� s office followed up and looked at the results of aur stress tests he indicated that, in his opinion, we were not getting equal service from South Suburban Medical Center as we had been getting from Fairview Ridges in Burnsville. Farmington is simply doing a stress test, whereas Burnsville is doing a stress test and also giving us cardio- pulmonary testing results along with a measurement of the amount o� oxygen being used during all of those tests . This year the cost is the same at both locations . For that reason we would be going with Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville at a cost af $225 . 00 per firefighter and with 9 firefighters taking the test the total cost for testing this year wouid be $2025 . 00 . Money for this particular expenditure has been budgeted in Account #101-42210-01-305 . RECOI�II++IENDED ACTION: Nlotion to authorize the fire department to spend $2025 . 00 to provide stress tests for 9 firefighters with the expenditure coming from Account #101-42210-01-305.
