OF COMMENDATION
WHEREAS, on the evening of April 14, 2006, at 7201 York Avenue, an
Edina citizen had been in the pool and accidentally slipped into the deep end of
the pool. The victim was not able to swim and was unable to stay above the
water. Andrey and Ilia Nikiforov were asked by friends of the victim to help
rescue him from the bottom of the pool. Andrey and Ilia Nikiforov immediately
and heroically jumped in the pool and rescued the victim from the pool bottom.
They began CPR and clearly saved the life of the citizen. When the Edina Police
and Paramedic/Firefighters arrived, the victim was breathing on his own and is
now completely recovered from the incident.
WHEREAS, without the immediate unselfish action and heroics of Andrey
Nikiforov and Ilia Nikiforov, the victim would have drowned.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Edina City Council, Fire
• and Police Departments and all Edina residents hereby express thanks and
commends Andrey Nikiforov and Ilia Nikiforov for their quick response and
action in saving the life of another Edina citizen
