We dit not *antral the fire department anymore. They are not a part of the City of Louisville they are a separate district and therefore the equipment they need, station and soforth is within their purview. Wi have agreed insofar as the City can to provide a fire station site for the in Centennial Valley filling O. they use that, that is just fine, and if they don't that is fine We are trying to help them out with a site. die have bean told by than that they think this is a benefit to the fire department and can serve the development and the revenues will be more than adequate to accomplish that and that the City has really no stand in it.
