I hope we get more water. We need water, right? Department of Water Resources, more water . Thank you, Jesse. With that in mind, thank you to the Vice Mayor for substituting for me at the training session last week, I listened to the session and have a lot of homework to do. You think you're working while traveling, but yes, I work, listen to the session and then catch up. I appreciate it.

The agenda from last Thursday, when I was away, are there any additional questions about it? I have one question for information regarding item 4A, the purchase of a fire truck. We pay $186,000 in sales tax to the city of Phoenix . Kelly, can you explain why we do this? Do you want Ed to do this? I admit I'll ask Ed Quintanar to come over and see if he knows the answer , if he's here. I haven't seen him come in yet . Or Lian. Oh, Liane can come. So, I can deal with that .

So, Liane Cardenas, Assistant Director of Business Services. Ed Quintanar is at a conference tod …
