Summary
A Boy Scout proposed installing an AED station under the pavilion at J.M. Lindsay Park at no cost to the city; the council approved the Eagle Scout project and required Mr. Gilbert to submit final plans and location to the park alderman. Vote was unanimous (4-0).
Kieran Gilbert, identified in the meeting as a Boy Scout, presented an Eagle Scout project to install an automated external defibrillator (AED) station under the pavilion near the park kitchen at J.M.
