Attachments: Cover Memo, Special Recognition [Note for the Record: Following Mayor Cason’s reading the title to Agenda Item A-5 (i.e. Congratulations to the Coral Gables Fire Department Rescue crews recognized for an outstanding lifesaving response to a medical emergency involving a female patient in cardiac arrest), Chief Stolzenberg stated that he wanted to recognize the people who were on duty, noting that they had received a 911 call, wherein they responded, and would just like to talk about the chain of survival---stating that there has to be early access; for example, CPR has to be initiated to help keep the heart in a position that it can be defibrillated; there has to be early defibrillation to bring in equipment; that the Fire Department and a lot of other external companies have the automatic external defibrillators, as well as our cardiac defibrillators, and eventually advanced care; As to the incident in question, the Fire Department had its fire rescue crew, and he called up Lieutenant Jones, to present this recognition to the crew and to the surviving patient who was also present. Chief Stolzenberg had previously mentioned early access and early CPR, but it was really the police officers who were on the scene in the initial phase of this incident, who must be recognized as well; although they were not present, but Officers Raymond Jenkins and Randy McCullough were instrumental in the positive outcome that occurred. Lieutenant Jones acknowledged the Mayor, City Manager and City Commission, stating that there is always a quintessential question that is asked, and that is what separates Coral Gables from any other City, and I always like to say that we are better, and that we are certainly different. On July 19, 2016, we received a phone call from a person that was in cardiac arrest, they arrived on the scene at the doctor’s office where the doctor was doing CPR, the patient was nonresponsive, he was not breathing, his heart was not beating, the coordination of this crew and the collaboration of the Police Department and the doctor’s office, they were able to successfully resuscitate this person, although it seems like this is something that happens every day, it is a very slim chance that one will find someone that ends up in the right place at the right time; further noting that it took the City’s unit 5 minutes to arrive on the scene; further noting that the victim was almost to the point of talking to the crew prior to the arrival to the hospital. The patient only spent 1 week in the hospital, with a zero neurological dysfunction, City of Coral Gables Page 6 City Commission Meeting Minutes September 13, 2016 and that speaks to the leadership and credibility to the crews of men and women of the Coral Gables Fire Rescue crews; further stating that today, he wanted to honor them for their leadership, and that the citizens of Coral Gables are always safe, and end up always with a better quality of life; he further honored and recognized Lieutenant John Paratti, Firefighter Criff Butler, Firefighter Twswan Bishwan and Firefighter Ishmael Roig; further saying that he thinks that it is not always important to just talk words, but to have evidence, and that they have invited Karen Southerland as a part of this presentation].

Commissioner Slesnick: I have a new appointee for my School Relations Committee, Greg Blackburn who is the Head Master over at St. Phillips Episcopal School. My former member David Biancci travels too much and is not able to attend the meetings. Mayor Cason: OK. You make the motion, who seconds? Commissioner Lago: Second. Mayor Cason: Commissioner Lago seconds - City Clerk. Commissioner Keon: Yes Commissioner Lago: Yes Commissioner Slesnick: Yes Mayor Cason: Yes (Vote: 4-0) Commissioner Slesnick: And two more things; one, this Saturday morning the Miami Children’s Nicholas, Miami Children’s Hospital is having a run here in Coral Gables around the Greenways. I’m sure our City Attorney will be involved and they are expecting several thousand people, and so that’s going to be this Saturday morning; and Friday evening from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. up at Fred Hartnett Ponce Circle Park there is the "Relay for Life", and I want all of you to come and participate and our City Attorney is also going to participate, and we have a team; and the last time we had the Relay for Life here in Coral Gables about eight years ago they raised $17,000, and so far our teams have raised $45,000 and we are still going. The City has a team and I’m competing with the City team and I’ve raised $6,500 so far, but my goal is $10,000, so if anybody is watching send in contributions to me and maybe the City team. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark: Commissioner, we are not competing. It’s an important effort, we are all in, but our team has a raffle that includes an administrative day off for employees that are participating, so just know that there is an added benefit on our side if you contribute to our raffle. City of Coral Gables Page 27 City Commission Meeting Minutes September 13, 2016 Mayor Cason: Anything else? You want to go next? Commissioner Lago: I have one item. I spoke to some of the members of the Southwest Ranches Volunteer Fire Department and I think that there is a Rescue 63 vehicle that the City of Coral Gables was phasing out; I think they were thinking of donating it. Is there any way that we could consider one of our City’s, neighboring Cities, Southwest Ranches, so that they could get the opportunity to have that fleet, excuse me, that vehicle from our fleet which is being kind if phased out. It’s a small volunteer Fire Department; they could use any help that we can give them. Mayor Cason: Is there anything that they have that they have sort of being obsolete that they can give us? Commissioner Lago: I’ll talk to them, I’ll ask them. Mayor Cason: Ask them because what we’ve been doing is giving our City Sisters, I don’t have a problem with it, but if they - one of the things we are looking for, for one of our Sister Cities is a dialysis machine, maybe we could find and do a little trade. Commissioner Lago: Yes. Let me see if I can ask somebody… Commissioner Slesnick: Which City is that? Mayor Cason: Antigua - for children, they have a dialysis machine that’s gone kaput, so we’ve been trying to find one and offer it to them, but I’m sure that would be a great… Commissioner Slesnick: Do you need a motion Vince? Commissioner Lago: I wanted Mr. Fernandez to see just to give us an update maybe at the next meeting, if we can get that rescue vehicle which is being phased out and see if there are any plans, instead of scrapping it or I don’t know what the plans are for exactly, maybe we can get it donated to Southwest Ranches. I ended up speaking with the Mayor there, they were very gracious. They are a 100 percent volunteer Fire Department, so any help they can get would be very beneficial. If not, we can help them in other ways. I’m going to look out for the dialysis machine; I’ll ask a few friends in the medical industry. City of Coral Gables Page 28 City Commission Meeting Minutes September 13, 2016 Mayor Cason: That would be great. Commissioner Keon: Is the dialysis machine that they are talking about is for a hospital, or is it… Mayor Cason: I think it’s for a hospital. Commissioner Keon: It’s for a hospital. Mayor Cason: We are trying to get the details of what they have that’s gone kaput; so that we can make sure we get the right thing. Commissioner Keon: Maybe we can include it in our ENEWS as an ask. Mayor Cason: Yes. OK. You have…? Commissioner Keon: No. I’m fine, thank you. Mayor Cason: Alright. So, we will - I don’t have anything now. Let’s close this session; we’ll be back at 5:01 p.m. for the First Budget Meeting. Thank you.
