Um, and that would be something probably difficult to get them to do. Um, so So that probably would be great clarification at this point to add that language in there that it had to be within city limits that the citizen was picked up.”

From the transcript
Should we add language in there that clarifies within city limits? That, that might be advisable because, because like I said, outside of the city, um, this entity isn't the billing agency. Um, it is the Fairbanks North Star Borough that would have to grant that 10%, 25%. Um, and that would be something probably difficult to get them to do. Um, so So that probably would be great clarification at this point to add that language in there that it had to be within city limits that the citizen was picked up.
