Dr. <br />Lick noted that fundraising was not a problem; and many <br />organizations were willing to participate. However, Dr. Lick <br />sought City Council support in encouraging training for AED use <br />and overall heart-healthy living. Dr. Lick further noted that a <br />new type of CPR training had recently been released, more <br />simplified and less intimidating, and training materials were <br />being prepared for use in the near future. <br />Deputy Chief Chris Snyder reviewed goals to replace former <br />AED's that have become obsolete and are unable to be <br />reprogrammed; and to replace 28 of the AED's with a portion in <br />the Fire and Police Department vehicles; and to train 4,000 <br />Hea�t-Safe <br />Community <br />Initiative <br />
