Traded in eight older AutoPulse units toward the new ones

Purchase order 25-01832 credits 4,000.00 for 8 ZOLL AutoPulse trade-in allowances at 500.00 each against the 10 new units. Stryker order 26-01257 credits 13,300.00 for a trade-in of old Defibtech AEDs against the 76 new defibrillators. The Township owned both kinds of equipment before the settlement fund paid for the replacements. The FY2025 report explains the spending decision this way. Our emergency response has been stretched necessitating the need to add new ambulances and replace aging apparatus. The records do not yet show which fund bought the traded equipment or carried EMS equipment before 2025. That the settlement money took over a cost another fund carried is our inference from these records.
