Commission approves two AEDs for recreation programs after commissioners press for speed
Summary
Commissioners approved spending up to $4,472.92 from recreation funds to buy two Stryker AEDs and a cabinet for youth practice locations, while some commissioners expressed concern about procurement speed and safety needs for imminent events.
The board approved the recreation department's request to purchase two Stryker AEDs and a cabinet, at a quoted cost not to exceed $4,472.92, with payment coming from recreation department funds. Staff said an AED must be available at youth practice locations to meet league requirements and that the purchase brings the county’s total to three AEDs for recreation coverage (SEG 539–546, SEG 551–555).
One commissioner urged urgency given an upcoming event and questioned why life‑saving equipment would wait for routine procurement steps. A staff member explained the purchase uses a special recreation fund and requires board approval even if the line item exists. The motion to approve the purchase not to exceed $4,472.92 passed by voice vote.
