1:48:52Swiss. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a couple of quick items. On the public safety front, our correction center received brave reviews from the Florida Model Jail Standards inspectors following an annual inspection. The inspection team spent two days going in and out of the out of the facility and noted the high level of professionalism and positive morale by our team members. The entire staff showed a high level of respect and maintained. A professional demeanor and that the jail was managed in an orderly fashion and noise was at a minimum. So props

1:49:23to our to our jail team. Also on public infrastructure, the the Holiday Hills stormwater project has commenced, so we're we're excited to see that come to fruition. And finally, Animal Services is reintroducing its trap neuter vaccinate and return program for feral cats. So for those of you that have seen feral cats running around, this is a program where we we capture those, we we spay, neuter them, and then release them back. So kinda trying to stop the program. Uh I'm sorry, stop the cycle, if you will. So we're we're happy
