DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding with the American
Heart Association and to authorize the acceptance of a donation in the amount of $108,000.00 for the purpose of equipping patrol cars with
automated external defibrillators.
The American Heart Association (AHA) would like to work with the City of Fort Worth, Police Department (FWPD), to facilitate the AHA's Nation
of Lifesavers program. The goal of the program is to prepare and empower bystanders to become lifesavers in the event of a cardiac emergency.
The AHA would like to create a culture of preparedness by equipping those who are first on scene in an emergency. The AHA has secured funding
from donors to extend financial support to the FWPD. Funding in the amount of $108,000.00 will be received from the AHA upon execution of the
Memorandum of Understanding. This donation is designated for use by the FWPD to purchase automated external defibrillators to be carried in
patrol cars. Upon receipt, funds will be deposited to the police Special Donations LTD fund, project S00176.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and execution of the Memorandum of Understanding, funds
will be deposited into the Special Donations LTD Fund for the Police Donations project. The Police Department (and Financial Management
Services) is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to any expense being incurred, the Police Department has the
responsibility to validate availability of funds.
