10:31 pm
supervisor and others in the fire department that we are not fully meeting that 80 percent of call volume, and the mayor has asked the chief for her best recommendations about how to achieve that. as you know it is a policy decision for the city to continue with that exclusive operating agreement. both the chief and the department of emergency management have advised the mayor about certain risks that might occur if the city were to open up the system to private providers and they have made strong recommendations that the city main that -- maintain that exclusivity. the mention that the fire department provided to the

mayor that in order to provide this level of service, they believe it would cost approximately $9 million a year in addition to their current operating budget. the mayor asked that i go back and work with the fire chief, work with eem to sharpen the point on those numbers and look at what options existed in terms of either phasing that in or other options to kind of balance the cost with the goal. in terms of timing, which i think is also part of your question, we will, as with all of these things, as we move a little bit further into budget balancing project we'll know more about how much money is available and the mayor will have an opportunity to direct me and direct departments about what his priorities are and what he's going to be able to include in his budget. and that work
