I atn requcstiug a transfer
account # 8064 with fhe -
~9,700 dollars from our account #4531 to
reasoni»g.
Last year, the former Cluef had;budgeTed fo~~ t11e ~urchase of cardiac monitors for
the sum of ~22,000. As with m~uy things m iud'ustry, the post Katrina prices for
these same inonitors has doubled. As' was exp~ained during the budget session
last y~ar, our ourrent oaxdiac rnonitars axe being~hased out. We w~r~ advised
fi-oin the manufacturer that w~ ivould noY~be abl@ to pt~rchase parfs for these
pieces of equipment in the near~'fut~ire. '•The moaiitors that we presenfly use are not
diagnostic monitors and have,only a``3-lead" capabIlity. Industry standard for
pre-hospital cardiac care has t~oved towards a"12-lead" cardiac monitoring in the
fieid. Simply sCaYed, these will~have ~the~ same capahilities that the emergency
room relies on.
Last year ~ve were awarded a FENIA grant that ulcluded funds for physicals for all
meinbers of the department ~,ccotinl #4531 has'$7,600 that will nof be
e~euded on physicals this fiscal year. Tliese funds could be used fo purchase the
cardiac monitors. Alsa in aecount #4531 is $Z,l 00 that is for a seivice contract
for cardiac monitors. The new monitors com~ with a 1 year warrantee and tbis
money will not be needed this fiseal year iftlie new monitors are purchased.
These two transfers coml
us to take adva~~tage of a
purchase 2 monitors witk
saviugs oFalmost 525,00

the $2~,000 already in the account will aliow
al apportunity given by the manu,facturer to
;d value of $55,839 for $31,545. This is a
a liinitcd tiine opporhuiity and it is my
~tage of it to get the most lrom our moncy.
