(TR12712) A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, authorizing the appropriate City Officials to execute an Agreement Addendum between the City of Tamarac, a sub -grant participant, and Broward County for acceptance of a multiagency Emergency Medical Services (EMS) County Grant for improvement and expansion of prehospital emergency medical services under the project for Mass Casualty Incident (MCI)/Active Shooter equipment; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. Division Chief Steve Stillwell and Purchasing/Contracts Manager Keith Glatz appeared. Division Chief Stillwell said this agreement will allow the acceptance of the EMS County Grant Award and to execute an addendum to the EMS County Grand Funding Agreement with Broward County. Tamarac represents one of the 16 agencies and as a sub -grant participant wishes to receive the EMS County Grant for MCl/active shooter equipment. This will provide backpacks that contain equipment such as trauma tourniquets and "quick clot", a product that speeds up clotting to reduce hemorrhaging which will speed up treatment for a better outcome for a victim. Chief Stillwell said that Davie will purchase and distribute the equipment to the 16 participating cities. Mayor Dressler noted that it is a sad commentary that we need to purchase such equipment.

Commissioner Glasser said Sheriff Israel was recently at Kings Point and talked about homes being broken into by breaking the realtor lock boxes and emergency responder lock boxes.
