American Medical Response • U asit Pueblo City Council, I am asking for support from the Pueblo City Council for the 2018 6th annual AMR Safety Jam. Safety Jam is a free to the public health and safety education event that started in Pueblo in 2013. In 2017 the event brought together 64 exhibitors offering free education and safety items to 2782 attendees all free of charge. For the past 3 years Pueblo has supported the event with a $1000.00 contribution to offset costs. One of the needs this money is used for is the shuttle buses that bring attendees from City Park parking lots to the event and back to their car. I would also invite all Council Members to attend the event and participate in the opening ceremonies that salute our veterans. The 6th annual AMR Safety Jam will be May 12, 2018 at Pueblo City Park. Opening ceremony begins at 10:00 AM. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your time and all you do for the citizens of Pueblo. Mark.McMahan@amr.net
