manufacturing technology program s c c c so we encourage folks thirty was only room for a little over four hundred folks to get said busy theaters are sure to get your tickets quick so they're sure they will go quickly but i just want to mention some of the other construction or health care our young people work with lots of local employers also just finished a rehab on and the street the city of schenectady and what's really great about this opportunity is we have a lot of young people who enter c after they graduate and this scholarship will help the young person on their journey and especially that we focus on high demand careers clean energy as i did and career so we're really excited to have this opportunity for a graduate in this next graduating guess my question is a little bit the bigger one and maybe i can guess this team is did you know over the mayor and that is in terms of we looking at the bigger picture we have that all the city employees how does does this get in is there any spread out can is there a way to make this comparable to other units as well or do we need to be thinking about that or that i made a pretty strong case for keeping his position in the budget last year but i understand the practical issues that council has to deal with as well but in the further we also have to deal with practical issues the training monster is mandated by state law we cannot ignore them and the hazmat deputy chief position is entirely funded by money from the for the fees that we receive from an ass which actually exceeded our budgeted rabbitohs this year and i were working i know there's been some discussion in the mail on if you look at it the boat positions are self sustaining and they are both essential positions to our department this year we will have a deputy chief retiring two captains retiring a lieutenant retiring three firefighters retiring and i will be retiring that's a great deal of transition and many officers positions are going to be changing next year it's not a good time in my indispensable recognize that we need to have some stability as well so if you have any questions i'd be glad to answer them that to the best of my ability but i implore you please restore on the timing of retirement and when the positions are that it is possible to work with those things and we've done that in the past and it's all we can do some things save a little money here and there to he farm that position but it isn't then there isn't any for off in our budget rate our budget has been you if you remember back in two thousand and eleven had to take on the additional work of the deputy chief was eliminated and i and they have had to take on the additional work of the assistant ch and it's a it's what we had to do but as things progress and we are doing very well we have been in budget as you know every year at the least the past ten years or twelve years  i think we can do this and i don't think will be a deficit at the end of twenty four to  the decision on their side was that they didn't want the g logo on the scene you know sometimes very tragic on incidents so we didn't do it know as i said we all have to deal with practicalities you have to deal with it we have to deal with ours or maybe suppress a little more urgent change but you know we're all working towards the same and those are going into service but we did cooperate of training with scotia or department that we applied to the grant together with to accomplish that training and we have on our region hazardous material train going on all the time back after the events of september eleventh two thousand the war on we realized cross the country that  hazardous materials and weapons of mass destructions tree in response capabilities were lacking here in the city of schenectady really where the leaders in terms of has been used our team as an example throughout the whole state and how to do things right and we have training going on with rensselaer county all the county saratoga county in schenectady county and you don't hear a lot about it but it's ongoing all the time and some of those drills are funded by the federal government and we get all that cost  u know we were aware of is our tactical medical trade which brought in some cash last year but also brought in about three times as much in goods and put on and we expect to be doing more of that issue so you know all that ails it also helps offset the cost of doing the trick because there are some overtime costs and personal cost involved in that the want to have a person drive a million dollar piece of fire up around us that wants to the taxpayers without adequate training training is essential and it goes on every single day but it needs coordination it needs supervision
