I <br />had no idea that firemen <br />8 <br />were negotiating, or HGEA, <br />or whoever was negotiating. <br />9 <br />I think it would be helpful <br />if we knew. <br />10 <br />MS. SAKO: Yeah, <br />I think -- I think Human <br />11 <br />Resources has a list, and I <br />think we do too, of all the <br />12 <br />contracts and kind of when <br />they expire. And then the <br />13 <br />one thing is that all of them <br />have at least two-year <br />14 <br />contracts, so none will be <br />expiring prior to June 30, <br />15 <br />2019. <br />16 <br />CHR.

He's the man. <br />22 <br />MR. HIGGINS: Very <br />good. <br />23 <br />MR. BRILHANTE: For <br />as long as they'll have <br />24 me. <br />25 MR. HIGGINS: Yeah. <br />ISLAND COURT REPORTING & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES <br />(808) 933-9800 <br />
