The Charger has been a money pit. We should use the Lumina for Jaws of Life training. Training can also be done at the Winter Fire School.

There was a discussion about how much we should use the Attorney. Councilman Nutzman stated that we need to be careful and not make a mistake and not get advice from the Attorney and then a lawsuit could be filed and cost us $60,000.
