   45:20Good morning commissioners. Ryan Gwynn, Fire Chief. FR 26-1004 is an ordinance by the County Board, Board of County Commissioners, amending and restating ordinances 79-28 and 01-012 pertaining to the Pasco County Municipal Fire Service Taxing Unit by providing for additional municipal services to be funded, providing for a repuler, providing for severability, and providing for including into the County Code of Ordinances. and providing for an effective date.

   45:49Um essentially the ordinance is to amend the restated ordinance of 7928 and 0102 specifically expanding the municipal services so we can fund other uh Um uh assets out of there including medical services. And this is the only required public hearing, so we uh ask that you accept public comment and adapt the ordinance amending the fire tax district and by roll call.

   Kathryn StarkeyChair

   46:16Okay, board members, any questions? Commissioner

   Jack MarianoVice Chair

   46:18Oakley So similar to my line and and this is a lot different than when we're just looking at bringing a new thing in. We're already doing it for the fire, now we're able to do it for the ambulance service. So in doing so, it's probably a lot easier for you to s asset costs that are coming up going forward, but still there's some fixed costs involved. Are we looking for the cities to be involved in this as well?

   Unidentified speakerVoice A

   46:37Yes, sir. We automatically we already charge for for EMS services. We charge all the citizens whether they're in the city or out, so we recoup that money from them. The fireside, we do have the we do have mutual aid agreements with the count with the cities, but there are other services that we do bill for, our specific services, much like the Sheriff's Office, our uh hazardous materials responses, heavy rescue responses, things like that.
