Jay Phelps Revist upgrading the existing AED and potentially adding a 2nd unit Our existing unit was purchased 2015 and we have doubled in size We discussed this topic in a BOD meeting in 2023. At that time it was decided to take no action however the logistics and facilities team have been discussing this for some time and there are multiple volunteers advocating that we upgrade the current unit and add a 2nd unit.
I recommend the lease option as it will be a fixed monthly cost with a $300 purchase option at the end. Our cost for a Zoll+ unit with EDU discount is $112.50 / month / unit.
