PASSED and ADOPTED this 4' day of February, 2003. ATTEST: Mic . el R. Della, ity Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: g George H. Eiser, III City Attorney Nick nz n ayor Attachment I AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR PROGRAM Each year 465,000 people in the United States suffer from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). Less than 5% of these victims will survive without early defibrillation. Survival rates can be 70% higher if a defibrillator shock is delivered within the first 3 minutes after the onset of SCA. Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) are portable machines that can be used by trained lay rescuers. Until recently, there were concerns about operator's personal liability. State legislative changes have addressed this issue. An adhoc committee including: Guadalupe Sanchez, Library; Ray Allen, Police Department; Miguel Diaz, Parks & Recreation; Paul Desrochers, CDC; John Cole, PW/Eng.; Don Condon, Fire Department and Kassia Kossyta, Risk Management met to explore installing (AEDs) at city locations. After reviewing three years of Fire Department responses to city sites the Committee recommended placing AEDs at 13 locations (see Attachment II). State law requires at least one trained operator for every five AEDs. The Committee recommends for each AED installed to have at least one employee trained as a responder. The Fire Department will provide the state mandated monthly equipment and battery check. The new library design will incorporate AEDs. The City of San Diego is sponsoring San Diego Project Heart Beat a campaign promoting the use of AEDs throughout the county. They contracted with Cardiac Science to provide equipment at $2,305/unit. They provide state required physician medical oversight, training, certification, recordkeeping and data collection for $50-$100/unit in annual oversight fees. Additional costs include alarmed wall mounted storage cases $269/unit; training classes $40/employee, a required annual one hour refresher class and $100 for donor plaques. The Purchasing Agent has reviewed the City of San Diego bid process with Cardiac Science for AEDs. Since it complied with Section 11 of Purchasing Ordinance # 1480 dealing with competitive bidding, National City can piggyback on Project Heart Beat's bid to obtain AEDs. Community support for this program is strong. Paradise Valley Hospital has offered to donate three AEDs and provide training classes. The National City Lions Club has volunteered to provide two units and cases. The Commuinity Development Commission has agreed to fund four units, and the Fire Department and City Managers' Office will each supply two units. Risk Management will fund three storage cases, the supervision costs and the donor plaques. A budget outline is described in Attachment II.
