RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve acceptance of public donations in the amount of $91,500 into Police
. Donations Account #1820 -5901 and increase revenue estimates by this amount.
2. Authorize an appropriation of $84,498.14 to Patrol Equipment, NOC Account
#1830 -9300 and approve the expenditure of funds to purchase 55 HeartStart
Defibrillators from the American Red Cross.
DISCUSSION:
The Police Department was approached by several concerned citizens and Community
groups who indicated an interest in donating money to assist the Department purchase
Automatic External Defibrillators (AED's) for all marked police units. The AED's can
provide critical assistance in the case of a heart attack and will provide all of our field
personnel the ability to quickly apply this technology within moments of their arrival at
such an event. In the days that followed, donations were received totaling $10,500
from Earl Fusselman (a Police Volunteer), Sandy and Rob Meadows (Sandy is also a
Police Volunteer), Bob Greenberg, and the Newport Harbor American Legion Post
#291. The Dwight Manley family and the Karl Malone family donated the remainder of
the funds necessary for this entire project, an additional amount of $81,000 for a total
donated of $91,500.
The Police Department obtained three quotes for the purchase of the HeartStart OnSite
AED's. The American Red Cross provided the lowest of the three quotes. For the
purchase of the AED's, mounting and storage equipment, batteries and training guides,
• the Red Cross provided a quote of $78,420.55 plus sales tax of $6,077.59 for a total of

$84,498.14. Phillips Medical Systems and Davis Medical Electronics provided the other
quotes. Their quotes were $86,241.21 and $118,715.72 respectfully. Based upon this
information, the Police Department recommends the purchase of the AED's and related
equipment from the American Red Cross. The donors concur with the
recommendation.
Vickie Cleary, Emergency Medical Services Manager with the Fire Department and
Lloyd Whisenant, First Aid /CPR Instructor for the Police Department, examined the
various AED devices available and determined the HeartStart AED units to best meet
the requirements of the Police Department. These devices are easy to use, technically
advanced and simplify the training and operational needs for the Department's field
personnel.
The remaining $7,000 will be used to purchase adaptive devices for infants and small
children along with other related ancillary equipment upon completion of the required
training in the near future.
Environmental Review: None.
