If you want to hold on just a second and you will have five minutes. Okay, thanks. Sure. First of all, thank you Susan, appreciate it. To the council members, I don't greco cab service. We just passed the taximeters which I pushed for because I felt that the city of Sheboyin, the constituents were not getting a fair treatment from other cab services. So I decided to put my own in. Well, as we had the meter put in, I have to get it certified which is paid on certification. Well, as we passed these through the, through the common council and along licensing, we went through four meetings. There was only one meeting where we said how much some of these costs are going to be. And that was the last meeting here where they had said that it was going to be about a minimum of $200. Well, I get a letter the other day saying that we are not going to have a $40 meter fee, a $50 initial processing fee and an annual base fee of $30. Add it on to the fee that we normally do to the city and then add it on to the fee of the certification. So now for me, I don't care, I have my own. You've got six or seven companies that have five or six cabs. When I researched this, the meter itself, I got lucky and I found a guy at Milwaukee. I paid 310 bucks. That's a brand new one. If you get a used one, it's going to be about $200. Added all these fees, it's going to come close to $400 for one cab. Just, and most of that's the permits. Now, when I called the state guy, he had no clue on this at all whatsoever, which is fine. And I can understand a $50 processing fee. Now, I was told the other day that it goes through weights and measurements and you need a permit from them to have the meter in. Well, four meetings and two common council meetings and nobody said anything. That's pretty frustrating, especially when you get phone calls from other cab companies yelling at you, knowing that you pushed for this, saying, now you just cost this X amount of dollars. Which, you know what, finding dandy, I understand that, but just the fact that the five, the six meetings and nobody said anything. You know, I don't have a problem with being certified and doing those things, but now to get it certified twice. Now, I have to pay this $40 fee plus the initial $40 fee that I only paid. Now, you're looking at 80 bucks. Now, the processing fee is for what? The state guy? Okay. And then the $30 base fee is for what? No one said anything to us the last minute. And it was thrown at us last weekend, which is, or Friday, which is, you know, I mean, that's a pretty tough nut to swallow at that point. That's a lot of money up front right away. And I just did this just because I felt that nobody was getting a fair shot out there as far as the customer. You know, one day they're paying five bucks, the next day they're paying seven. Here was a good opportunity to show that everybody's going to be seeing what they're going to be paying. And now, I guess no good deed goes unpunished that we're going to have to come up with this. You know, and I feel bad for the other companies that, you know, they got seven cabs. You're looking at probably two grand just for permits and meters as opposed to what it was before if it would have been $200. If they bought one with their initial fees that they normally pay to get a driver and a van, what the cities are. But now they're going to go, like I said, I got four or five phone calls yelling at me that this is what happened. So I decided that I'd come and let you guys know that we believe that this is kind of unfair at this point. If there's something that can be done, if not, I mean, I'll pay it. I don't have a problem with that. But it just seems to me a little bit in excess for that purpose and what we've tried to accomplish with having the meters in the vehicles. You know, we're small businesses. We're not making a lot of money. You know, there's a lot of us, but like I said, when it's a $4 ride here or $3 ride there, that's a lot of money going up front, especially with insurance being as high as it is. So it's, and I feel bad for them. Like I said, my good friend at All Star, they're paying a lot of money for insurance. Now to add this stuff in there, that's a lot of money to come up with and it's going to be a tough one. You know, so if there's something that we can revisit to see why these extra charges are there and then if it's legitimate, okay, it's there and we have to do it. But up until that point, this is not a fair shake for us. Thank you very much. Thanks, Chris. Thank you. And next mic, Brunette. You may go. All right. Yeah. Mike Brunette. And your address, Mike? 1925 South 26th Street. Okay. And I'm looking, I think you're voting on, I don't know if it's being presented or voted on, but a study on organization of the fire department tonight. And I like studies, I like studying studies. But if anybody's familiar with the Gigo principle, garbage in, garbage out, and it's like, you get what you ask for. And basically, when you read the layout of what you're asking for, you're asking them to compare ultra comparables instead of asking them, how would you really revise things and what would you do pie in the sky? What would you do? What would be the best case scenario to come in and revamp a fire department and make it nice and efficient? Like in there, there's a lot, you know, for, it's asking them to compare similarly sized cities and similarly staffed fire departments. Right there, you're binding them to the fact that it has to be that big. And if anybody's seen, looked at the numbers of what they're producing right now, it is also a leading statement saying what it does. But if you look at percentage of calls, it's overwhelmingly ambulance and then fire department. And correct me if I'm wrong, but that was my understanding on it. But it reminds me of back in the day when I was in Minnesota, where we had a directive to redesign our newspaper. I go into the first meeting and I look and we have all the newspapers from around our area, such great, the Faribault Minnesota paper, the Oatana paper, and kind of like, this is ridiculous. And I went and looked at what the top 20 design papers in the country were, had them overnighted. We basically took the best principles from everything and we went with that and it ended up, we were the biggest chain in North America at the time and several hundred papers adopted our layout including the Sheboygan Press at the time. But basically we went for what's the gold standard? What's the best we can get? What's the best bang for the buck? But that study leaves it open to get what can we get? That's kind of like what Fondlec has, kind of like what Waukesha has. And if that's the best in the world, cool. But I'm thinking it's probably not. And switching it up on subjects now and it's like the great mayor's race as perpetual is going to be starting off. And right now there's two people in it as far as I can tell. Terry Venakren and Mike Van der Steen. And I don't know, there will be more. There always is. But it's like right now it's made the best van win. And it's like to me it really doesn't matter which one, as long as they represent the city well and are straight open with it. And it's like I cover politics a lot. And I don't try to hammer people on anything other than issues. But this is an example that this is, yeah. But it's like this is an example. This is John Kerry when it was at the point where they were right before the Iowa caucuses from the thing of it. And it's like I was offered $2,000 for this site unseen. But this had the possibility of becoming that tank picture. And it's like you guys saw it. My class saw it. A bunch of visiting professionals saw it. Other than that, nobody has even seen this. Because it's kind of one of those this shouldn't just shouldn't wreck somebody's career one way or another. And at the same time, same thing with this. I mean, in fairness, you know, Hillary Clinton. And it's just one of those little things there's nothing you can do about. I mean, it's and it's just really nothing. But people use little things to try to knock people off their plank. And basically she's doing nothing but addressing it. But it just freezes on and it says Senator Ronan Clinton. Well, did you have a good night tonight? And this is her speaking and she's do you feel like you're all fired. But somebody wanted to use this and needless to say no papers want it. The Republican Party wanted both of these because they wanted to hammer on both of them. And it's just I looking forward to what's coming up. And it's like, I just hope everybody plays fair. That's all I got. Okay, thank you very much. All right. Under I guess acting mayor's comments. First off, I just want to thank everybody for last week. Making it on Friday, Wednesday, Monday, the previous Wednesday. I know for a lot of you had to rearrange schedules and things like that. So, you know, I really appreciate your efforts last week.
