The Somers Point City Council authorized a contract with Cintas Corporation to install and maintain automated external defibrillators (AEDs) at the city’s recreation facilities.
Council members said the devices will be placed in each recreation facility so staff and volunteers have quick access in an emergency; members emphasized that rapid access and training can be critical at athletic fields and other public venues. The resolution authorizing the contract passed without opposition.
The item was described as the culmination of more than a year’s work to identify equipment and delivery options and followed outreach from the recreation board and community. No contract value or installation schedule was discussed on the meeting record; city staff will complete contract-signing and scheduling steps following the council’s authorization.
