Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, July 19, 2021 <br />Page 10 <br />Through the process of legislation which maybe came about 5 years ago, we mandated that certain <br />facilities within Mayfield Village have Automated External Defibrillation devices or AED's. <br />Along with that legislative action, we committed to training CPR to all those businesses that were <br />required to have that. In that process, it took the Council's approval of the law and the mandation <br />of having an AED put into this business to have all of the right pieces in place to provide Michael <br />Beers to be sitting with us today. <br />The Mayor will read it in her Proclamation, but everything came together. All of the people who <br />were trained in CPR who were on scene acted the right way. They retrieved the AED, activated <br />9-1-1, and we have a cardiac event survivor who's neurologically intact. Before the EMS crews <br />got there, he was back with everyone. Our crews aren't to be left on the wayside because they <br />provided support and care, Tim Byrne, who is the second from the corner was on the call. They <br />provided that advanced care and support to get him to the hospital. <br />I just wanted to thank everyone and this is a good thing to showcase that sometimes it takes a <br />village to save a life. Did you want to say anything, Mr. Beers? <br />Mr. Beers stated, it will never be enough, the appreciation I have for the folks who helped me. <br />There will never be enough gratitude expressed. It could have been catastrophic. I could not be <br />here. There's no damage. Everything's normal. Most people will go through this and have some <br />damage to their heart. I did not. The main artery was blocked. It was the widowmaker. With <br />everything coming together, all the ducks in a row, all the planning and all the commitment from <br />the community, I am 100%. This is well worth the recognition. <br />Chief Carcioppolo stated, thank you for being here. Mayor Bodnar will present the Proclamation. <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, thank you Chief Carcioppolo and thank you very much Mr. Beers. Tonight <br />we are very happy and very grateful that all of the forces of the universe, particularly those of <br />Mayfield Village Fire Department and all of the great people from CrossFit who got the training <br />and then employed that training came together and saved a life. That is, like Chief Carcioppolo <br />said, what it is all about. I would like to read into the record a Proclamation appreciating all of <br />those who were involved. For this part, I would like the ask those present to stand up. (The <br />following individuals were present: Coach Nicole Cicconetti Smith, Coach Kyle Eshleman, Dana <br />Lautenschleger and Jamie Grano.) <br />I will read the Proclamation. I have one for everybody, so we will call you up individually and I <br />will hand yours to you when I am done. <br />WHEREAS, on March 27, 2021, Michael Beers, a patron of Crooked River CrossFit on Beta <br />Drive in Mayfield Village, experienced a cardiac arrest; and <br />WHEREAS, because of the quick response of employees and other patrons of Crooked River <br />CrossFit, Michael Beers' situation was quickly assessed and lifesaving measures were delivered <br />
