actual ramp itself and the knee walls that will be alongside it.
Alderman Klee

Alderman Caron
| Know this has been a project in the works for 100 years. Were the neighbors involved in any way especially
because it is going to be a lot bigger and different than it has been over the last 30 or 40 years.

so this would fit more for those particular neighborhoods. | know in my neighborhood | have the truck with the

We found a company that was willing to accept in trade for 9 millimeter ammunition.
Alderman Laws
That’s wonderful.
Officer Elliott
We ended up trading, if | am correctly, the numbers off the top of my head about 100,000 rounds of 40 cal, for

stock, honestly we would be asking for quadruple what we are asking for now because it really would have put
us behind.

The newest model doesn’t conform to our existing emergency equipment, light bars, speakers and what not; so
that is what the uptick is in getting new emergency equipment. Once we refit the fleet, that emergency
equipment will be able to be used over and over again for all subsequent vehicles.

Chief Rhodes
| think that’s probably a good idea; | won’t be here to see that.
Chairman O’Brien
Who is going to remind us?
Chief Rhodes
We can set it in Outlook, you can set a calendar. No, | think this is important, in my three decades of service in
the City, this City has changed tremendously. And as | said, we have gone from a developing City to a
