00:26:56,767 love to see ultimately and I 772 00:26:57,150 --> 00:26:57,400 know you don't have all those 773 00:26:58,784 --> 00:26:59,034 funds yet and some of the fires 774 00:26:59,517 --> 00:26:59,767 are still going all of this and 775 00:27:01,050 --> 00:27:01,300 I'm sitting in the car in Reno 776 00:27:02,750 --> 00:27:03,000 and it's raining here so that's 777 00:27:05,050 --> 00:27:05,300 good news what about I'd like 778 00:27:06,784 --> 00:27:07,034 to see a breakdown of things 779 00:27:07,384 --> 00:27:07,634 that you can't budget for which 780 00:27:09,017 --> 00:27:09,267 is certainly the air attack and 781 00:27:10,517 --> 00:27:10,767 some of these things that you 782 00:27:11,517 --> 00:27:11,767 have no idea how much that's 783 00:27:13,317 --> 00:27:13,567 gonna cost and so that certainly 784 00:27:15,284 --> 00:27:15,534 can throw a wrench into 785 00:27:17,050 --> 00:27:17,300 anybody's budget so will we be 786 00:27:17,717 --> 00:27:17,967 able to see and hopefully we do 787 00:27:18,384 --> 00:27:18,634 at some point 788 00:27:21,084 --> 00:27:21,334 actually the breakdown like how 789 00:27:23,350 --> 00:27:23,600 much

796 00:27:34,517 --> 00:27:34,767 really I'd love to see 797 00:27:35,284 --> 00:27:35,534 ultimately when you get it done 798 00:27:37,284 --> 00:27:37,534 what's the actual breakdown 799 00:27:40,550 --> 00:27:40,800 of where these expenses are and 800 00:27:41,550 --> 00:27:41,800 that's really more of a a 801 00:27:43,117 --> 00:27:43,367 comment that we need to see that 802

part of this 812 00:28:06,784 --> 00:28:07,034 budgetary request does that 813 00:28:08,784 --> 00:28:09,034 include funding for that third 814 00:28:09,484 --> 00:28:09,734 strike team or would that be 815 00:28:12,750 --> 00:28:13,000 anticipated in a subsequent 816 00:28:13,284 --> 00:28:13,534 request of IC. 817 00:28:16,784 --> 00:28:17,034 ma'amretthompson, office of 818 00:28:17,350 -->

00:28:31,067 likely that additional1.5 that 825 00:28:32,784 --> 00:28:33,034 we added on Sunday when we 826 00:28:33,317 --> 00:28:33,567 discussed the hawk fire and we 827 00:28:34,817 --> 00:28:35,067 didn't know how that was going 828 00:28:36,817 --> 00:28:37,067 to play out depending on that 829 00:28:38,817 --> 00:28:39,067 total cost strike force and any 830 00:28:40,550 -->

the season progresses 837 00:28:50,517 --> 00:28:50,767 there is a possibility we could 838 00:28:51,450 --> 00:28:51,700 come back it really will just 839 00:28:52,784 --> 00:28:53,034 depend on what are the final 840 00:28:54,784 --> 00:28:55,034 bills for the first two strike 841 00:28:56,517 --> 00:28:56,767 teams in this final one 842 00:28:58,750 --> 00:28:59,000 to determine how much is left

00:29:27,734 on top of it right away and 857 00:29:28,950 --> 00:29:29,200 scheduling this emergency 858 00:29:29,517 --> 00:29:29,767 meeting. 859 00:29:32,550 --> 00:29:32,800 actually teach at the area that 860 00:29:34,750 --> 00:29:35,000 was impacted so I'm not there 861 00:29:36,750 --> 00:29:37,000 today obviously planning on 862 00:29:37,317 --> 00:29:37,567 going there this afternoon 863 00:29:37,850 --> 00:29:38,100 though. 864 00:29:41,317 --> 00:29:41,567 my my questions are more along 865 00:29:43,084 --> 00:29:43,334 the lines about just how it's 866 00:29:45,350 --> 00:29:45,600 all being handled when we think 867 00:29:46,017 --> 00:29:46,267 about 868 00:29:49,050 --> 00:29:49,300 could you please clarify how the 869 00:29:50,817 --> 00:29:51,067 strike team supported the white 870 00:29:52,817 --> 00:29:53,067 pine County fire as they should 871 00:29:54,784 --> 00:29:55,034 have and that cost 2.3 872 00:29:56,817 --> 00:29:57,067 million and that was over eight 873 00:29:59,117 --> 00:29:59,367 days compared to the strike team 874 00:30:00,784 --> 00:30:01,034 supporting the Wato County which 875 00:30:03,284 --> 00:30:03,534 is over10 days and that caused 876 00:30:05,050 --> 00:30:05,300 I think from our background 877 00:30:07,184 --> 00:30:07,434 documents it says752,000 878 00:30:11,084 --> 00:30:11,334 so if you could just clarify why 879 00:30:12,750 --> 00:30:13,000 there's such a discrepancy 880 00:30:13,317 --> 00:30:13,567 between the two areas. 881 00:30:15,550 --> 00:30:15,800 prekhompson office of 882 00:30:17,017 --> 00:30:17,267 commercement man it's an 883 00:30:20,517 --> 00:30:20,767 excellent question so the 884 00:30:22,517 --> 00:30:22,767 initial submission to this was 885 00:30:23,317 --> 00:30:23,567 about a week and a half ago and 886 00:30:24,784 --> 00:30:25,034 was based on the documents that 887 00:30:26,550 --> 00:30:26,800 we received from the local 888 00:30:27,284 --> 00:30:27,534 agencies that we're 889 00:30:28,784 --> 00:30:29,034 submitting or we're 890 00:30:29,284 --> 00:30:29,534 participating in those strike 891 00:30:31,017 --> 00:30:31,267 teams obviously a very wide 892 00:30:34,517 --> 00:30:34,767 disparity on the estimated cost 893 00:30:35,584 --> 00:30:35,834 what we believe to be the 894 00:30:36,817 --> 00:30:37,067 truth is it will be 895 00:30:39,084 --> 00:30:39,334 approximately104,000 dollars per 896 00:30:41,317 --> 00:30:41,567 day per strike team may vary by 897 00:30:42,850 --> 00:30:43,100 a little bit depending on the 898 00:30:43,450 --> 00:30:43,700 composition some of those strike 899 00:30:44,117 --> 00:30:44,367 teams have water tenders as 900 00:30:46,917 --> 00:30:47,167 s o ci ated with them that 901 00:30:47,484 --> 00:30:47,734 are not standard in a strike 902 00:30:48,050 --> 00:30:48,300 team. 903 00:30:51,317 --> 00:30:51,567 and so I think the cost will be 904 00:30:52,917 --> 00:30:53,167 lower per or about 905 00:30:56,750 --> 00:30:57,000 about104,000 dollars per day 906 00:30:58,784 --> 00:30:59,034 when it all is said and done but 907 00:31:00,584 --> 00:31:00,834 again when we initially 908 00:31:02,517 --> 00:31:02,767 requested this in the midst of 909 00:31:04,550 --> 00:31:04,800 the bug fire we we didn't 910 00:31:05,050 --> 00:31:05,300 want to do is speculate and so 911 00:31:06,517 --> 00:31:06,767 we provided you with the 912 00:31:07,050 --> 00:31:07,300 documents that we received from 913 00:31:08,517 --> 00:31:08,767 the cooperators based on their 914 00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:10,000 estimates which in my opinion 915 00:31:10,417 --> 00:31:10,667 were both high and low. 916 00:31:14,950 --> 00:31:15,200 Well thank you for that 917 00:31:15,517 --> 00:31:15,767 clarification 918 00:31:20,750 --> 00:31:21,000 and again you guys are under a 919 00:31:22,750 --> 00:31:23,000 lar a very stressful situation 920 00:31:23,417 --> 00:31:23,667 especially when you think about 921 00:31:24,117 --> 00:31:24,367 all the fires that you are 922 00:31:26,784 --> 00:31:27,034 dealing with this year and our 923 00:31:28,784 --> 00:31:29,034 anticipated unfortunately to 924 00:31:29,350 --> 00:31:29,600 have to deal with. So I guess 925 00:31:33,017 --> 00:31:33,267 I think one of the senator's 926 00:31:34,717 --> 00:31:34,967 questions kind of touched upon 927 00:31:35,450 --> 00:31:35,700 this but I just want to make 928 00:31:36,884 --> 00:31:37,134 sure the salary costs 929 00:31:39,250 --> 00:31:39,500 were already funded but you're 930 00:31:41,017 --> 00:31:41,267 not able to put in the overtime. 931 00:31:42,884 --> 00:31:43,134 Could you clarify that just a 932 00:31:43,484 --> 00:31:43,734 little bit further 933 00:31:46,517 --> 00:31:46,767 and again how that that 934 00:31:47,117 --> 00:31:47,367 number is kind of 935 00:31:48,884 --> 00:31:49,134 I guess 936 00:31:50,784 --> 00:31:51,034 how you 937 00:31:53,117 --> 00:31:53,367 kind of hypothesize what that 938 00:31:53,784 --> 00:31:54,034 number could be. 939 00:31:58,850 --> 00:31:59,100 tiffany Greenmeyer director 940 00:31:59,450 --> 00:31:59,700 for the governor's finance 941 00:32:02,784 --> 00:32:03,034 officeice so most time over time 942 00:32:05,284 --> 00:32:05,534 is removed out of a budget so 943 00:32:07,484 --> 00:32:07,734 like the forestry where the the 944 00:32:09,284 --> 00:32:09,534 positions are housed that over 945 00:32:10,717 --> 00:32:10,967 time is typically removed 946 00:32:15,017 --> 00:32:15,267 so then you just have a cost for 947 00:32:17,084 --> 00:32:17,334 a fire in the other budget 948 00:32:18,784 --> 00:32:19,034 account for instate fire that 949 00:32:20,917 --> 00:32:21,167 covers the overtime when they're 950 00:32:21,584 --> 00:32:21,834 sending people out 951 00:32:26,517 --> 00:32:26,767 so that could be depending on 952 00:32:28,517 --> 00:32:28,767 a fire year it could be too low 953 00:32:31,250 --> 00:32:31,500 or too high so if it was too 954 00:32:32,617 --> 00:32:32,867 high and they had too much money 955 00:32:33,417 --> 00:32:33,667 in their budget then they would 956 00:32:35,017 --> 00:32:35,267 have just revert at the end of 957 00:32:37,317 --> 00:32:37,567 the year but in this case since 958 00:32:41,017 --> 00:32:41,267 the fire season my 959 00:32:42,784 --> 00:32:43,034 understanding is they're using a 960 00:32:44,550 --> 00:32:44,800 lot of this the dollars in their 961 00:32:45,284 --> 00:32:45,534 instate fire budget. 962 00:32:47,484 --> 00:32:47,734 I hope that answer 963 00:32:52,550 --> 00:32:52,800 it does and and again I I really 964 00:32:53,217 --> 00:32:53,467 want to thank everybody for all 965 00:32:53,884 --> 00:32:54,134 the work they're doing. 966 00:32:56,984 --> 00:32:57,234 thank you chair my other 967 00:32:57,550 --> 00:32:57,800 questions I can always ask 968 00:32:58,084 --> 00:32:58,334 offline 969 00:32:59,184 --> 00:32:59,434 thank you very much 970 00:33:03,317 --> 00:33:03,567
