A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 EQUIPMENT
ACQUISITION PROGRAM BUDGET AND AUTHORIZING A
SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET APPROPRIATION FOR THE PURCHASE OF
TWO (2) MECHANICAL CARDIOPULMONARY DEVICES IN THE
AMOUNT OF $8,320, OFFSET BY A $8,320 REDUCTION IN THE
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT ("ARPA") FUND; AND APPROVING A
PURCHASE ORDER WITH STRYKER SALES, LLC FOR THE
PURCHASE OF TWO (2) MECHANICAL CARDIOPULMONARY DEVICES
IN THE AMOUNT OF $60,320.
WHEREAS, the Arcadia Fire Department responds to approximately 82
cardiopulmonary arrest incidents per year based on a three-year average; and
WHEREAS, all Fire personnel are trained to provide high quality and uninterrupted
CPR for all patients who are experiencing cardiac arrest emergencies. The ability to
provide continuous, highly accurate, and effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation ("CPR")
is the cornerstone of cardiac resuscitation and cardiac arrest survivability. Some
potential limitations of personnel performing manual CPR that could exceed 20 minutes
include fatigue, the number of available personnel on scene, and the ability to effectively
provide CPR during hospital transport; and
WHEREAS, a mechanical CPR device, with its automated and guidelines -
consistent capability, will help with these limitations as a vital supplement to available
personnel on scene, and by allowing for faster administration of other critical lifesaving
skills and medications; and
WHEREAS, during Fiscal Year 2022-23, there has been a noticeable increase in
the purchase cost of mechanical CPR devices that could be attributed to the rise in
paramedic response as the City recovers from COVID19 pandemic and an ongoing
1
increase in inflation; and
WHEREAS, this unexpected cost increase directly resulted in unanticipated
expenses that were not covered in the current Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating Budget;
and
WHEREAS, a purchase order in the amount of $60,320 is necessary to enable
payment for the purchase of two (2) mechanical CPR devices by the Fire Department's
paramedic services; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has certified that there are sufficient reserves
available in the American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA") Fund for appropriation.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The sum of Eight Thousand Three Hundred Twenty Dollars ($8,320)
is hereby appropriated in the Fire Department budget, offset with a reduction in the
American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA") Fund Reserve by $8,320.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
