Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Carole Sund/Carrington Memorial Foundation
DISCUSSION:
The Carole Sund/Carrington Memorial Foundation has awarded the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office $31,000.00 to upgrade the Sheriff Patrol Deputies first aid kits to trauma kits and purchase other emergency supplies. Sheriff Patrol Deputies are usually the first to arrive on a scene where there has been a violent incident resulting in needed medical attention. The first aid kits the Deputies currently have aren't sufficient to handle the more violent incidents and Deputies do the best they can with their first aid kits until medical personnel arrive on the scene. The donation will be used to upgrade the first aid kits to include trauma kits which will enable the Deputies to provide lifesaving assistance until medical personnel are able to arrive.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A supplemental budget is requested to Sheriff Operations 1100-221 to receive the $31,000.00 donation to purchase trauma kits and other emergency supplies. There is no additional impact to the general fund.

This action supports your Board's Strategic Framework by seeking outside funding sources to benefit Humboldt County needs.
