Thank you for that, and I do appreciate the department is working on this. I'm not trying to say that's not the case. When I look at the budgets and we're asked to approve three times the amount of money for 811, which is only expected to go for the next eight months of the year, and that is looking to decline, to me, I would rather see us approving $1 million for 811, knowing it's the one that is going to phase out, versus us underfunding 911 right now and saying we're going to give all this extra money to 811, which might free up and then become available. Then again, it goes back to the general revenues and essentially is not guaranteed to go back to 911. I'm going to have a really hard time voting to approve a $3-million budget for 811 when you are only approving, what is the final number, $1.2 million for 911 when you already know it's $500,000 underfunded. As well, I think you've grossly overestimated the revenues, and I really kind of wonder at how that number ends up here at one point something million when you've only collected $400,000 before. More of a comment. They can respond.
