From the transcript
Thank you. Uh, so as discussed last time, this, uh, doesn't change— this particular ordinance is asking for a discount for North Pole City residents, and it does not change essentially the fees that are currently being charged North Pole City residents while the rest of the borough fees have gone up. So we're basically not going along with the rest of the borough's increase, and I would ask Mr. Mayor at some point that our fire chief addresses as well. Thank you.
