2:19:14deck that had um some percentages from the other counties and ours was missing. That's because we're our community input survey was still open. Uh it was closing that Sunday. So it has since closed. We received 2,000 responses. Through just the survey alone. That doesn't count the comments that received through the community input sessions that we had. We've worked really closely with our consultant, Marcy and Connor, who have been working overtime with that, putting together a careful marriage between of the qualitative and quantitative data that we received. To

2:19:44come up with a draft action plan that we're very proud of. So that's on our website for public consumption and comment. Um we've had we we have scheduled three public hearings on the draft action plan to see if we really uh hit the mark on what we've heard from the public. So we've had two of them so far. The third one is tonight, following this this meeting at five o'clock. Here in this room. Um so looking forward to that. Uh to important dates coming up, June 3rd. We're gonna have a presentation
