| STAFF PRESENTER(S): | Santiago Rodriguez, Chief of Police |
SUMMARY
The Tohono O'odham Nation is seeking requests for funding proposals from Arizona cities and non-profit organizations for their 2021 revenue sharing program. Proposals must address one or more of the following priority areas: education, health care, public safety, child advocacy, economic development, or cultural and environmental development and protection. Responses are due no later than June 11, 2021.
Recommendation
ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2021-2166, AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF A PROPOSAL FOR 12% GAMING DISTRIBUTION FUNDS TO THE TOHONO O’ODHAM NATION, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS RELATING TO SAID PROPOSAL, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A GRANT AGREEMENT (IF GRANT FUNDS ARE AWARDED), AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE THE REQUIRED BUDGET TRANSFER (IF GRANT FUNDS ARE AWARDED) . (Santiago Rodriguez, Chief of Police)
FISCAL IMPACT
The police department currently has 19 portable AED units assigned to patrol supervisors, which represented the start of our in-vehicle AED program. As part of this program, the cost of supplies and replacement electrode pads are included in our operating budget. The current grant request includes initial funding for one set of adult and pediatric electrode pads per unit. The lifecycle of the AED unit itself is 10 years. The pediatric electrode pads have a stated 2-year shelf-life, while adult pads last 5 years and each are single use. The anticipated ongoing expense to maintain 71 units would be a maximum of $19,000 per year, assuming each device is used once per year for both a pediatric and adult emergency. These operating funds would be requested through additional grant opportunities or through the city budget process dependent upon the ultimate number of devices funded by the grant and usage.
BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
In 2002, Arizona eligible voters approved Proposition 202, which implemented a new requirement that Tribal/State Gaming Compacts must include a provision that the compacting tribe would contribute a portion of its annual net gaming revenues (the "Annual Contribution") for the benefit of the general public. Pursuant to Proposition 202, each tribe may determine the recipients of 12 percent of its total Annual contribution (the "12% Payments").
The Tohono O'odham Nation has announced a request for proposals for the distribution of the fiscal year 2021 payments from local governments and non-profit organizations. Responses are due via email no later than June 11, 2021.
In 2018, Goodyear Police Department was grateful to receive a $20,800 grant from the Tohono O’odham Nation to purchase 10 portable AED units that are currently deployed in supervisor vehicles. The department also received federal funding through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program (JAG) to purchase the additional units to start the program.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Every second counts when responding to a cardiac emergency.
Goodyear Police Department currently has 19 Automated External Defibrillator (AED) units deployed in vehicles throughout the city. Given the average police response time to a citizen-initiated call is four minutes, thirty seconds, having portable AED units available to all officers could provide a higher rate of successful cardiac emergency outcomes to the public at large. Therefore, the department aspires to equip each field operations vehicle with one of these lifesaving devices.
In order to achieve this goal, a total of 71 units are needed:

In order to achieve this goal, a total of 71 units are needed:
- 58 units are needed to meet current FY21 staffing
- 13 additional units will be needed for new positions funded in the FY22 budget
