Meriwether County approves purchase of two AEDs for recreation department, citing youth-sports safety rules
Summary
Commissioners approved buying two Stryker AEDs and cabinets for $4,472.92 using recreation funds to satisfy CGYSA football league requirements and cover multiple practice locations.
The board approved the purchase of two AED units and cabinets for county recreation sites at a total cost of $4,472.92, using funds from the recreation department, to satisfy Georgia youth football league safety requirements.
Staff said the recreation department currently has one AED and needs two more to cover multiple practice locations for scheduled youth programs; the quoted cost is for two AEDs and cabinets from Stryker that match existing county equipment and EMS compatibility. One commissioner asked whether procurement could be expedited for safety items; staff replied that the recreation fund is a special fund and requires board approval to expend those dollars. The motion to approve the purchase was made and carried.
The purchase is intended to ensure AED coverage at practices and events across multiple sites this season.
