Thank you. Good morning, supervisors. Good morning. I am here today to support the sheriff and his effort to reduce the cost of these collect calls.

30 to 40,000 dollars per employee to have fully cross trained workforce. And so that would be one of our main objections or concerns. But do you think that ultimately there could be a cost savings long term with the department in general . I think, that to the requirement to have all of the new hires being trained as a paramedic is something that is not necessary in terms of being able to meet or appropriately staffed and once being able to meet our response requirements and so forth, there are initial costs and ten there are additional training costs with having all paramedics in the departme...
