Committee forwards ordinance to raise CPR/first‑aid course fees after AHA rate hike
Summary
Fire Chief Robert Chegan said American Heart Association training costs rose roughly 200%, increasing the department's per‑card expense to about $25; the committee unanimously moved Ordinance 26‑86 (amending CPR/First Aid fees) to council.
Fire Chief Robert Chegan told the Safety Committee that the American Heart Association recently increased its training charges, raising departmental costs for CPR/First Aid course cards by about 200%; the department now pays roughly $25 per card through the UH Parma training center.
Citing the increased vendor fees, the committee moved to send Ordinance 26‑86 (an amendment to Section 214.10: Fees in the Fire Services Code for CPR/First Aid courses) to council for consideration. The motion to move the ordinance to council passed with Yeas from Chair Ed Cyngier, Vice Chair Gary Petrusky and Council President Mary Gorjanc; there were no nays.
Why it matters: fee adjustments will affect residents and organizations that use the city’s training classes; the ordinance sends the proposed change to council for final approval.
Next steps: Ordinance 26‑86 will be placed on the council agenda for a vote.
