 What makes for excellence in heart care? It starts with one of the most amazing teams of heart surgeons and cardiologists that I've seen assembled under one roof and the region's leading technology in a new $40 million facility. This is the nationally recognized Heart and Vascular Institute of Eastern Kentucky at Pikeville Medical Center. The city of Pikeville is seeking to upgrade their radio system via the Motorola Solutions The goal is to improve communications of the local police and fire crews across the city. This will help first responders stay in touch while monitoring the streets and call for backup if they are found in any dangerous situations. Our radio system has struggled for some time. We have essentially one tower in the city that provides connection to our radio system. When officers are on the extremity of the city, either the extreme southern end or the extreme northern end, sometimes that those radios do not work quite as well as we would like. Roughly $300,000 is being invested to improve the city's communication lines. This money will go towards replacing the current radio tower as well as adding a brand new one. So we have for some time been working to identify another solution for how to solve that problem. And we've worked with some outside consultants and identified a number of paths. And we have recently invested about $300,000 in our police and fire radio system that will replace all of the radios in their vehicles, their rebel radios. The handheld radios that they have are good. They don't need to be replaced. But it will also replace a tower site and add a second tower site. So that invoice is just one of the invoices as part of that project. The public safety radio system allows our first responders to better communicate, keeps them safe by having essentially a lifeline to dispatch. Should something happen that we can order to other officers or other firefighters, they need to respond. That is their safety is paramount to the city and the city commission.
