UNDERSTOOD, BILL.
MY ONLY QUESTION IS JUST TO STAFF MAKING SURE THAT AS WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS, AS YOU PROBABLY ARE AWARE, WE CANNOT CAPTURE THE COST OF EMS IN THE FIRE ASSESSMENT FEE.
WE CAN CAPTURE
CERTAIN COSTS, IT HAS TO RELATE TO THE VALUE OF PROPERTY.
AND SO AS WE'RE ADDING NEW FACILITIES, I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT PORTION OF NEW FACILITIES IS BEING BAKED INTO THIS OR IS THIS STRICTLY OPERATIONAL COST?
I WANT TO UNDERSTAND IS THERE A CAPITAL OVERHEAD COST?
I WANT TO, CURIOUS ABOUT, FOR EXAMPLE, THE FIRE BOAT, YOU KNOW, IS THAT BEING CAPTURED IN HERE?
BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY DESIGNED TO PATROL THE WATERWAYS AND PROTECT BOATS AND NOT PROPERTY.
I just want to understand what we're doing with this.
And we're fully aware it has to add value to the delivery of service other than, as you mentioned, EMS.
EMS cannot be a component of the delivery of service of this assessment fee.
It's not even just delivery of service.
It has to relate to real property, a house.
Correct.
Okay.
Okay.
You recover the cost of a fire station in three years?
That does not sound realistic to me.
We have a 40-year lifespan on a fire station, and you're recovering the cost in three years?
I don't believe that's realistic.
