KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH

FINANCE DEPARTMENT

TO: Pete Sprague, Assembly President Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly Members

THRU: Dale Bagley, Mayor

FROM: Craig Chapman, Acting Finance Director

DATE: October 2, 2003

SUBJECT: Ordinance 2003-19-19, Appropriating $14,000 from the Anchor Point Fire and Emergency Medical Service Area Capital Project Fund Balance for the purchase of a Lifepack 12 defibrillator

The Anchor Point Fire and Emergency Medical Service Area's Lifepack 710 is outdated and in constant need of repairs. It has failed its last three inspections resulting in the service area using a loaner model while the service area's model is being repaired. The lack of a working defibrillator is a health and safety issue.

The service area board at its August 18, 2003 board meeting authorized the use of $14,000 in capital project fund balance to purchase a new model Lifepack 12.
