City staff to seek $20,000 grant plus $20,000 match to buy two Lucas CPR devices
Summary
City staff told commissioners the fire department is pursuing a $20,000 grant and will match it with $20,000 from city funds to buy two Lucas automated chest-compression devices; item appears on the consent/meeting agenda for approval.
City staff told commissioners during an agenda-review meeting that the fire department will request a $20,000 grant and provide a $20,000 municipal match to purchase two Lucas automated CPR devices.
The staff presenter said the proposal is a 50/50 match: "it's a $50/50 match, so we're getting $20,000 grant, and then we're matching it with $20,000 to purchase 2 Lucas CPR devices." The equipment purchase was presented as Item 6.c on the upcoming meeting agenda and was described as part of routine grant-matching activity.
The presenter did not state which grant program would provide the $20,000, nor did the discussion include a proposed budget line or department account. No formal vote was taken during the agenda-review meeting; staff flagged the item for inclusion on the consent or regular agenda so the commission can consider formal approval at the full meeting.
The item was discussed as part of a wider review of upcoming agenda items and consent items; commissioners did not raise questions about the grant source or timeline during the agenda review.
If approved at the full meeting, the procurement and payment steps and the grant source would be shown in the formal agenda item packet or subsequent staff report.
