Issue: Automatic External Defibrillators (AED’s) have reached “end of life.” The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has deemed our current AED’s obsolete, therefore no batteries can be purchased to continue using the counties AED’s. In order to continue to provide functioning AED’s to the county, we must purchase new AED’s for all county buildings.
Solution: By adequately funding the minor tools and apparatus account, we will be able to purchase these needed AED’s.
Result: With the purchase of new AED’s, we will provide the county with state of the art equipment that could save lives.
