As you may recall, the Fre Department began training a paramedic bike team last year. Tice team began
with two bikes that had previously been used by the Police Department Bike Patrol, which will not meet
the needs of a Polly operational team. At the Government Operations Committee meeting of February 21,
2002, the Fre Chief prmnded an update of this program indicating that it has and will continue to be a
great asset especially during special events where an ambulance has limited accessibility. Most recently
the team was in place for the "Race for the Comm in September 2001 and the neat large event will be the
National Folk Festival.
The Team Is In need of various pieces of equipment in order to become a fully functioning unit. The
equipment needs include four new bikes, two Ufepak 5 defribulators, brackets and bags to arty the
paramedics equipment as well as other maintenance costs and accessories.
This Order would allow for the transfer of funds from the General Fund's Contingency Account to fund the
Team's needs. In addition, the equipment will be here and in service in time to ensure adequate training.
