The Maydole's have not decided to pay any portion on this. If it was split 4 ways between the companies it would have been $775. The Hooks plan to pay that amount and the Alerts are going to pay $1400, whatever the amount is carried over they were going to request The Association to cover the rest. -PAGER UPDATE-Pagers have been received and programmed. There seems to be some confusion on what's going to happen to the pagers. The companies were all told once programmed they would be turned over to the Captains to be handed out to their members. Then when they actually came in we were told this was not the case. We agreed to purchase the pagers because they were going to be turned over to the companies for our members. I am waiting to hear back on this issue and what will actually happen. -GEAR UPDATE-Gear has started to be received.
