Alderman Laws
Thank you Mayor. Just out of curiosity, do we sell the vehicles that we already have or are we just adding
these to the fleet.
Mayor Donchess
| didn’t get any information on whether they traded anything in or not.
John Griffin, CFO
These are purchased from dealers or car sellers that are not readily apparent so these are under cover
vehicles so they are not using what they have; they are getting new used vehicles for that purpose.
