WE ALSO HAVE THE DEBT PAYMENT THAT GOES TO THE TRAINING FIELD. WE DO HAVE TWO YEARS LEFT ON THE DEBT PAYMENT AFTER THIS YEAR. IT'S JUST A QUICK UPDATE ON THE TRAINING FIELD. I'M WORKING ON A PRESENTATION FOR COUNCIL AS WELL. THEY WANTED TO GET AN UPDATE, SO I'VE BEEN KIND OF DEEP IN THE NUMBERS. I WON'T GIVE YOU TOO MUCH OF THE, OF THE SPECIFICS. UM, I WILL SAY THAT, UM, WE DO CREATE A REVENUE AT THE TRAINING FIELD. IT'S ABOUT 50,000 A YEAR AND, UM, WE ARE PAST PHASE THREE. PHASE THREE IS WHAT WE'RE FINISHING WITH THE PAYMENTS. UM, IT'S BEEN USED, THE FACILITY'S BEEN USED MOSTLY BY, UM, CITY DEPARTMENTS AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. ABOUT 65% OF THE SCHEDULE USAGE IS FROM, UM, JUST CITY, UM, COMPONENTS. BUT, UM, OUTSIDE AGENCIES AND, UM, PRIVATE COMPANIES AND THINGS ALSO USE IT. AND WE DO BRING IN SOME REVENUE. SOME OF THE COMMUNITY, UM, EVENTS THAT WE, UM, HAVE THERE. UM, THEY DON'T PAY. SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY, UM, WE HAVEN'T FOCUSED ON AS A BIG REVENUE GENERATOR MORE, IT'S BEEN MORE OF A, A FACILITY USE FOR, UM, THE CITY AND ALSO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AND PRIMARILY, UM, UM, WITH THE TRAINING FIELD, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS THE PRIMARY USER AND SO WE'RE MAKING SURE WE FOCUS ON OUR PERSONNEL, BEING ABLE TO USE IT ABOVE OUTSIDE AGENCIES, BUT TRYING TO FIND THAT BALANCE. SO THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING WELL. UM, WE DO HAVE THE, UM, THE INDUSTRIAL PROP THAT WE'VE HAD SOME TROUBLE WITH AND WE'VE BEEN, UM, THAT'S WHAT THE PRESENTATION OF COUNCIL'S GONNA BE TO SEE HOW WE WANNA MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

WE'VE MOVED OUT, UM, OPERATIONAL COSTS FROM THE TRAINING FIELD OUT OF FIRE CONTROL. AND REALLY NOW MOVING FORWARD, THE FOCUS ON, UM, THIS BODY IN THIS DISTRICT IS REALLY ON APPARATUS REPLACEMENT AND VEHICLE REPLACEMENT.
