For an intake with the budget analyst next week. Does that 10 million include equipment as well . Yes. Okay. The last time we had a hearing i vaguely remember the number being over that amount. You had mentioned a specific number closer to 12 . I dont remember the exact dollars. Its was closer to 12 and and we came down to 10. Any money is great. What we are asking for is a step to getting back to that 80 percent which is what weve always advocated for. I might be getting ahead, the second part is to analyze strategic planning. Also we have asked for in the budget the restoration of an h 40 battalion chief that has been defunded for years. We need more assistance on the advent side.
