Okay. Um, If your ambulance service picks a resident of the city up at Down Badger Road and hauls them in, that's not covered then with the 25% discount that we have. I read the code here on line A that it says the city hereby finds that North Pole city residents who use the city ambulance and EMS services. It doesn't say anything about where they pick you up at. It says because you are a city resident, you receive this discount.
