▶ 1:30:36 Speaker 3: Well, it actually assists the police department and also as far as folks with their alarm systems. I can see nothing more aggravating than a holiday week and have your neighbor's alarm going off continuously. We do give a grace period for some, and then after that, the fines kick in. We average somewhere at $5,000 or $6,000 a year as far as revenue for the police department. That money covers the special gas for the motorcycles that have to run on a higher octane. We use Lucy's service station up on Main Street. Cow washes for the cruisers. All those costs are offset by that alarm account.
