55:46move approval. Second. All in favor? Hi. C twenty five.

55:50Yes. Uh so pulled this just to highlight the uh the the three dollars moving to work rather quickly after We discussed it so Mr. Carbala?

56:00Yeah, I would I would say it's a it's a great example of this board's commitment and our commitment here at the county to uh you know to use these funds uh to reinvest and beautifying the community. I'm that was kind of serendipitous that we had a uh public comment on the same thing about using those dollars to beautify and add to the tree canopy. You know, from an administrative perspective, I will tell you from a budgeting perspective you know making the move to uh to to you know uh use these funds instead of project funds opens up other dollars

56:30that can be used in the public works department so using more restrictive funds is is a is the approach that we need to be taking and since we've we've made uh this board has made the changes to the to the treaty ordinance and the use of those funds you're gonna see more good stuff like this this to come so I just thank the board for for approving that and pushing us on on this to make these things happen.

56:50Yeah and for the for the record what what's what's that uh account have roughly 10 million dollars something like that something ten million dollars so we have quite a bit of money to to go to work and so let the record show that that we can actually move the needle with projects here. So pretty neat without a move approval.

57:07Well um before you m before you make the motion or w okay we have a motion and a second under discussion. Um, I just want the public to know that while this one is starting on Little Road We have a plan to move across the county and I don't remember what our next road is. It might be forty one. I don't have that if

57:26it

57:27brand case. Or call your parkway. But the plan is to move across the county and ever and hit every area. And you know Rotating sequence. I don't think this is just gonna stop on a little road. It's gonna go all over. Commissioner.

57:43Thank you. No, it's a it's a great great way to spend money which takes away from having to spend taxpayer dollars. But it deals with mitigation fund money which is which helps us stretch the budget more and and get more things done. One of the things I I came along today and I drove a little bit differently. I went fifty-two all the way out to Fort King Road. Uh and in doing so I did.

58:02Yeah.

58:02They had some really nice flora bushes in the ground. That they don't work quite everywhere, but wherever we can put that would actually cut down mowing as well and cut down other expense. So I'd like to still like a look. I know we had like these one stretches on one side of the road, the other side of the road, but I think we should take a look at expanding that more. And then even toward the end when it gets to where they don't want the height, uh that peanut grass we can add that into it as well. Can you just make

58:25sure that?

58:27Sure. Yeah. They uh and you know, we didn't do the Clinton Avenue extension. D O T did it at their expense and they're gonna maintain it, so it's amazing. Um I'd like to know how that happened, but I'm just very grateful that it did. And uh But I think, you know, how your county presents itself on its public roads is very important. And okay, so we have a motion and a second. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? All right. C twenty-eight is
