PROJECT: N/A
PURPOSE: The County owns approximately 139 G5 automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) that the County no longer needs for County purposes due to equipment upgrades; however, these AEDs still have remaining service life. The Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council and the County’s EMS/Office of Medical Director wish to promote public access defibrillation, which is an essential step towards improving sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) survival outcomes. Accordingly, the County’s Health Services Department and EMS/Office of the Medical Director wish to convey these AEDs to other local governments in Orange County to advance the County’s goal of public access defibrillation and benefit the County EMS system by improving response to SCA. Upon receiving an application, Section 125.38, Florida Statutes and Orange County Administrative Regulation 6.05.04 authorize the Board to convey personal property to municipalities and political subdivisions of the State of Florida for the public or community interest and welfare. The Board may convey the personal property to the applicant at private sale for such price, whether nominal or otherwise, as fixed by the Board, regardless of the actual value of the property. The Board must adopt a resolution that includes the fact of such application being made, the purpose for which such property is to be used, and the price. On October 7, 2025, the Town of Oakland applied for the sale and conveyance of County AEDs to be used by the Town’s Police Department to empower first responders to deliver life-saving aid during cardiac emergencies. The EMS/Office of the Medical Director requests the approval and execution of the resolution and purchase and sale agreement to convey approximately four AEDs to the Town of Oakland for the nominal price of $10.
