Description

Resolution authorizing, pursuant to Ch. 210 (“Acceptance of Gifts to City”) of the City Code, the Mayor and the Director of the Department of Public Safety to accept a donation from The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center of 229 trauma kits, associated training, and ongoing supplies to restock the kits, with a value not to exceed ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND ($100,000.00) dollars.

Summary

The proposed City of Pittsburgh resolution would authorize the Mayor and the Department of Public Safety Director to accept a donation from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center under City Code Chapter 210, which governs gifts to the City. The donation includes 229 trauma kits, training for their use, and continuing supplies to restock them, with a total value not exceeding $100,000. Because the gift exceeds $5,000, it requires Office of Management and Budget approval and full approval by City Council. The measure affects city public-safety operations and matters because it would expand access to emergency medical equipment and training without direct City purchase, while documenting the required acceptance process.
