A Resolution Approving the Purchase of Life Saving and Protective Equipment Using Opioid Funding

As part of the opioid settlement, the City of Foley has been provided a list of approved abatement strategies where the City can spend the opioid funding. This list includes first responder training, safe handling of fentanyl and other dangerous substances, trauma-informed response capabilities, and coordinated public safety initiatives. The Fire Department is requesting to utilize opioid funding to purchase two LUCAS devices for $48,356.25 that will provide high-quality, uninterrupted CPR during opioid-induced cardiac arrest. This will improve the survival outcomes while reducing physical fatigue and mental strain on the firefighters. The LUCAS devices will be purchased using Sourcewell contract #041823-STY. The Police Department is requesting to utilized opioid funding to purchase two TruNarc Analyzers for $31,092.70.

The TruNarc Analyzers will be purchased using the GSA Contract #GS-07F-6099R. The current balance of the opioid account is $297,702.49 as of 6/5/2025, which is enough to support these purchases.
