For compatibility reasons, it is recommended that the same
equipment as is presently being used by the Ministry of Health, and
other neighbouring Municipalities such as the Town of Whitby, Town
of Ajax, and the City of Oshawa, be purchased. It is therefore
recommended that the Purchasing By-law ##94-129, Paragraph 5 . 06, be
waived.
As training on the units is scheduled to commence within the next
three to five weeks, the purchase of one (1) defibrillator is
required immediately. The balance of the defibrillators will be
ordered as required.
The Treasurer has reviewed the funding requirements and concurs
with the recommendation. Queries with respect to department needs,
specifications, etc . , should be referred to the Fire Chief .
