ISSUE
Should City Council approve the acceptance of three Carbon Monoxide pulse oximeters
and two gas detectors from Metropolitan Medical Response System?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Fire Department is a member of Metropolitan Medical Response System. This
group made up of seven counties in Central Colorado. This group meets on a regular
basis to help assist with preparation and planning for large scale incidents. This group
also provides some financial assistance to members by way of grants of equipment or
money. The Fire Department requested three Carbon Monoxide pulse oximeters and
two gas detectors from the group two years ago and we were recently awarded the
equipment with a value of approximately $16,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Routine repair and maintenance costs associated with the upkeep of the equipment.
The machines will have a warranty for the first two years. There is no further financial
impact.
