From the transcript
If not, it would be torn down and scrapped, which is a shame. Um, but so provided there's a delay, um, any sort of significant delay in actually moving the training center, are there any repercussions? Um, to the borough or community members if, if we lose that training center, even for a short time? So according to the ISO report, um, the ISO people, um, they say that if we lose the drill ground, our total aggregate ISO score drops from 61.1 to, just a hair over 60, which would be enough to bump us from a Class 4 to a Class 5 community. Um, in talking with the administration about it, um, they've talked with their insurance provider and they believe that ISO does not have the weight that we claim, so they don't think they would see an insurance increase on it.
