other2128.9 thing,2129.06 you2129.46 know,2129.62 as2132.63 Councilor2132.86 Gardner2132.86 brought2133.43 up,2133.99 you2134.07 know,2134.22 trying2134.39 to2134.7 understand2134.78 the2135.59 response2135.74 time,2136.22 sort2136.55 of2136.78 the,2136.95 so2138.63 it's2138.95 the2139.26 92139.43 minutes2139.66 for2141.18 ALS,2144.3 and2144.86 you2145.11 get2145.26 90%2145.43 of2145.99 the2146.14 time.2146.22 And,2146.95 you2147.3 know,2147.38 we're2147.54 doing2147.7 good.2147.94 And,2148.18 you2148.9 know,2148.98 we're2149.22 doing2149.38 fairly2150.66 good,2151.06 I2151.46 think,2151.54 compared2151.78 to2152.18 a2152.26 lot2152.34 of2152.5 other2152.58 places.2152.82 But2156.42 what2156.66 would2156.82 it2156.98 actually2157.14 be,2157.94 you2158.1 know,2158.1 I2158.9 know2158.98 we're2159.14 breaking2159.38 it2159.78 out2159.86 by2160.1 Watertown2161.46 versus2161.78 non2162.26 Watertown.2162.51 But2164.43 our2164.59 responsibility2164.98 is2165.63 to2165.7 meet2165.86 the2165.98 total2166.11 as2168.03 opposed2168.26 to2168.59 the2168.74 average.2168.91 So,2169.46 that's2170.59 why2170.82 I2171.07 really2171.46 would2171.78 be2172.26 interested2172.43 to2172.91 see,2173.07 and,2173.94 again,2174.18 that2174.82 comes2175.07 to2175.39 about2175.55 what2175.86 a2176.11 third2176.58 of2176.82 them2176.9 are2176.98 outside2177.38 versus2178.02 Watertown.2179.3 If2181.94 we2182.18 could2182.18 have2182.18 the2182.34 numbers2182.74 so2183.06 we2183.14 could2183.22 actually2183.38 calculate2183.78 it2184.18 out2184.34 and2184.5 see2184.9 what2185.14 that2185.3 is.2185.46 So2187.78 that2188.02 would2188.18 be2188.42 the2189.22 second2189.38 thing.2189.86 And2190.1 then,2191.36 I2191.48 guess,2191.61 maybe2192.09 the2192.57 third2192.72
