ITEM 5.A. Agenda Items — Eastview Soccer Club AED Donation
Mary Coleman representing Eastview Soccer Club proposed the donation of an
Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) to the Parks & Recreation system. The
organization has been partnering with the Play for Patrick Foundation which places
AEDs and provides heart screening services for children, especially those in sports.
Eastview Soccer Club's initial proposal was one wall mounted and one free-standing
unit, one for Johnny Cake Ridge Park and one for Quarry Point Park. Partnering with
Advocates for Health for the Minnesota made units, Eastview Soccer Club updated the
proposal as one free-standing unit at Quarry Point Park, central to the soccer fields, close
to where the soccer players play. Their goal is to have a unit accessible within sixty
seconds of an incident. The proposed unit would be available 24/7/365.
Play for Patrick is working with a representative of ISD #196 at Eastview High School to
place a unit near fields at that location and feels the area will be covered.
Eastview Soccer Club would like to partner with the City in that the Club would pay for
the initial cost of the unit and installation, including wiring and concrete pad, and the City
would cover the maintenance at an estimated cost of $550 for the seven year life of the
unit and approximately $6/month for electrical.
MOTION: by Freed, seconded by Schori, recommending City Council accept
the donation of an AED from Eastview Soccer Club.
VOTE: Yes — 5, No — 0
