And those individuals served a combined total of 6,929 days of electronic monitoring. And if you convert that to the average jail per deum of $74.66 per day, that is a total of $517,319.14 in county jail savings. Of the individuals that we received in the quarter, 27 of them were unemployed when they started with us. 17 of them gained employment. So 63% of the people that run employment while with community corrections in the adult side. On the juvenile side, we served 200 days of electronic monitoring from five juveniles. The average cost of detention, which is the equivalent of adult jail for juveniles, is up to $200 per day. So during the quarter, we saved $40,000 in county savings by not placing those juveniles in the secured detention facility. As of October 31st, 2025, we had 69 individuals on electronic monitoring, home detention. We have 18 individuals on our alcohol monitoring program. In regards to our community service program, in the third quarter, with the courts, spear court one and spear court two ordered 3,300 hours of community service. That's the most hours of community service ordered in the third quarter in the last five years. The first quarter and second quarter this year, we had the opposite. We had record low numbers ordered. There's been a turnaround, so we have a lot of community service participants right now. In the third quarter of 2025, community service program served 18 agencies, completed 2859.75 hours of community service. And just that minimum wage, our times minimum wage, that's 2733 dollars in 19 cents and labor savings. In the third quarter, our top five agencies served, our road crews served 660 hours. We provided 633 hours to the St Vincent DePaul Thrift Shop. When we provided 384.5 hours to the Mitchell Street Department, we provided 295 hours to the Lawrence County Fairgrounds. And our juvenile road crew completed 218.5 hours in the third quarter. Year-to-date, our community service program for our quarters, one, two, and three, have served 32 different agencies, at 7,295 hours provided, and a labor cost savings at minimum wage, $52,888.75. Also, in regards to our adults, on electronic monitoring this year, from January 1 till September 30, quarters one, two, and three, 92% of all our drug tests were negative. So, we only had 7.6% positive, those who did test positive, the number one substance was THC, and the number two substance was methamphetamine. But overall, in comparison to the number of people we've served, 92% of negative drug screens is positive. My underlying message is community corrections is good for the community. It's beneficial to people getting out of incarceration, and they can be successful. They gain jobs, they pass their drug tests, and they become reformed and rehabilitated as the court's desire. So, that's all I have on that. Any questions? All right, thank you. Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Chair. Next item, next individual, is Miller Jones. Charles Wood Volunteer Fire Department.

And we're here to ask request for a $65,000 backup ambulance contract.
