Request. And in addition to three ambulances. That is so the equipment and the staffing to the tune of about 3 Million Dollars as well as restoring an h43 position or an operation section sheet and so i think that chief to answer your question specifically, supervisor tang, this will not get us into compliance, but it is heading in the right direction and i think that it will show that we are seriously, looking at getting back to where we need to get, recognized in that there were four years of uncertainty. And what we also agreed to, and it came up through, a suggestion and made at the mayors Budget Office and kate howard that although we did not get the 42 members that we were requesting we were getting 16 and the agreement could have a work group and really analyze this impact of this additional 16 members and how that works towards getting to that percentage. And all of the while looking at our response times as well. And in the work group will be will be comprised of the Fire Depa
Great efficient system because they are getting repaired often. And so, we took a look at a different type of ambulance, where we would be able to invest more in say the chassy where we can replace it with a new box if you will and make it last as long as it could, to get the best investment, that took some time, and frankly, we have been looking closely with the office of contract administration, our requests for the ten, at least, have been with oca and we have been working with them since november of last year. So when can we expect to see those ambulances delivered and on the street . I believe once they are ordered it is a 45 to 90 day, so probably by the end of this year. I would say by ten by the end of this year. And another nine in the following year. So 19 new. And they wont be in addition to the fleet, we will actually take a lot of the units that are currently in service and put them into a release status. I still, i dont see the. So on, so for example, in 2012, you knew th
The disagreement would be that the feeling is that 16 more people will fall and get to 80 percent and we dont believe that it will and our methodology is slightly different and that is why i think that the beauty of the work group to take a look at how the envision of 16 more people will work for us and then, maybe have a saved approach and hire more people in the next fiscal here. What is the other thing . Lets see, i did want to address and i know that people have had the particular questions and i had some questions as well, regarding you are probably wondering we had the ability to purchase the ambulances and why are they on the streets and that is my question as well. It is a work in progress, but the office of Contract Administration and they have been hugely tied up with a lot of projects and one of them was our fire boat project and we had a requisition that went into the oca and we are doing good work, but i think that there is some delays in november we requested the ten ambu

November of what year . 2013. Okay. And as part of the. But it was allocated in. I leave that it was in 12. What was the delay in the request when it was allocated. I believe taking a look at the specifications of the ambulance and getting the work group together to look at the design of the ambulance and more efficient ambulances than we purchased in the past.
