SUBJECT: Ordinance 3171-2020 Southern Region EMS Council Code Blue Grant
City of Kenai Fire Department was successful in receiving a grant from the State of Alaska
Southern Region EMS Council for their Code Blue, Phase 20 cycle. We applied for a grant to
purchase training equipment that will be used to train our staff, along with other City employees
who need CPR/AED training. We submitted to purchase two AED trainers as well as an Advanced
Life Support (ALS) mannequin for our expanded scope EMS training. This mannequin will allow
us to have live interactive scenarios through the mannequin with advanced cardiac rhythms. We
will be able to do IV's on the mannequin, defibrillate appropriate cardiac rhythms, assess
breathing as it is will be customized in real-time by the instructor. This is an advanced piece of
training equipment that will greatly increase our EMS training in-house.
The grant total was for $10,689.00, with a 10% match requirement for a total expenditure of
$11,877.00. We have within our budget the funds available to provide the 10% match to purchase
these items, and we are requesting approval to accept this grant.
Your consideration of accepting this grant is greatly appreciated.
