I'd like to see what noa county can put in I Guess we'll accept it as it is. Like talking with some friends of mine, you know, inflation's 3%, we're asking for 10%. And some of us aren't getting 2% or one half% of social security or on your daily job, you're not getting 3%. So how how do you make those things meet when you're asking your fellow citizens to cough up another 7% on top of what they might get might or might not get from their employer?

My biggest concern simply is anybody can use your phone, look it up, when the inflation rate somewhere between 3.5 and 4%. So, how do we get to 10%. And and I'm I I'm looking for a little clarification. I mean, I think I know the answer to this, but I I I assume we're getting to 10% by things like the Vista Prairie, by we're building up the funds for the road. We're building up the funds. So, it's the additional buildups that are getting us to 10%.

My takeaway kind of remains the same as you guys have heard it before. So it's not anything new to you. I mean I was somewhat pleased. I I I still I know it sounds small. I sounds I know it sounds like a token. I get that. But I'm still against the double digit increase. And so I mean I kind of joke with Natalie. I said 10.17 or whatever it is. What's the 0.17 equals dollar-wise? And she did the quick numbers on it. And it's $12,400 would get us to 10%. And I'd like to get us below double digits.

It's just such a big number. $,56. Sorry, $1,ion56,000 is such a big number to um it's it's listed as a contract, right? But it's it's that's a lot of money to to give to an outside party, an outside entity. ... I just feel like I personally feel like I have no say in in what's going on on the on the fire board and service. I I feel like I have no say.

I would not say a big increase. So when we went through that process initially, what also happens whether we're primarily dispatched to that event or not, we can still be requested by either our own police department if they're tied up or by a line if they're coming from a distance. So we did a full audit of all of the CAD codes that we got dispatched in 2020. out of all of the CAD codes that we are being dispatched to today, if we didn't make a change, it was a net loss of 27 runs because we're being requested that often by either our police department or by a lineup. Since then, we took off some of the lower acuity calls...

I would like to at least I need to have a conversation with you especially to understand more in depth a lot of these things. Um, again, services, I need to understand that better. ... I'd like to see at least 50,000 cut from the the the current ask and I don't know if you know you're going to tell me that's not possible well you can bring forward I guess whatever you got but I want to see a significant amount go down here and I I hate to say that to you or do that to you but I just don't a lot of it has to do with like not understanding the services and stuff.
