ICASARRUS COU~ j <br /> <br />~6RTH £AROtlNA <br /> <br />MEMO <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Sherri Barnhardt, Cabarrus County_Purcha~sing--~gent. <br /> <br />Ron Harwood, EMS Director <br /> <br />Mar. 7, 2000 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Cannon Foundation Grant for purchase of Automatic Defibrillators <br /> <br />In December 1999 1 was approached by John Lamonaco of the Cabarrus County First <br />Responder Advisory Board. The Board had requested a grant from the Cannon <br />Foundation for the purchase of automatic defibrillators for all of the volunteer fire <br />departments in Cabarms County. <br /> <br />The Cannon Foundation denied that request due to the Board's lack of tax exempt status. <br /> <br />I was asked to apply for the grant through Cabarrus EMS since we meet the qualifications <br />for their grants. <br /> <br />If approved, the purchased defibrillators would then be forwarded to the First Responder <br />Advisory Board. <br /> <br />After conferring with John Day, Deputy County Manager, and receiving his approval, I . <br />applied for and received a Cannon grant for $35,000 for the requested purchase. <br /> <br />Upon receipt of the grant, we formally bid for the purchase of(10) defibrillators. The <br />Board of Commissioners awarded that bid to MedicMaster on February 21, 2000. A <br />purchase order was processed and the defibrillators have been received. I would now like <br />to request the Board of Commissioners' approval to donate this equipment to the <br />Cabarrus County First Responder Advisory Board for distribution to the volunteer fire <br />departments. <br /> <br />Thanks for your support throughout this project. <br /> <br />Emergency Medical Services <br />31 Willowbrook Drive · Concord, NC 28027 · (704) 786-9193 <br />www. co.cab.nc.us <br /> <br /> <br />
