WHEREAS, in 2009, San Ramon Valley Fire Chief, Richard Price, was having
lunch in a deli when a fire engine arrived to respond to a cardiac
victim in an adjacent store; and
WHEREAS, Richard realized that had he been aware of the medical emergency, he
could have gotten to the victim minutes earlier, making a big
difference; and
WHEREAS, he had a moment of inspiration recognizing the potential of
smartphones brought together with location data and information
from emergency response centers; and
WHEREAS, Richard Price brought his inspiration to reality with years of
engineering development and marketing; and
WHEREAS, today, as the President of the non-profit PulsePoint Foundation,
Richard has brought PulsePoint to over 100 communities across 22
states and 10,000 citizen responders have been activated to help 3,500
victims.
NOW, therefore, be it resolved, that the Mayor and City Council of Cupertino, do
hereby recognize Richard Price
for his leadership in bringing PulsePoint to the world, enabling ordinary citizens
to become heroes by responding to fellow citizens in cardiac arrest.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the
City of Cupertino to be affixed this Wednesday, January Twenty-Eighth,
Two Thousand and Fifteen.
Rod Sinks, Mayor
