▶ 38:49 Mark Garipay: couple questions one I would I would just hopefully you could answer some of the Pierce's questions that they called in how long how long will this change of the service take to install the pole and how long will there will there be any interruption service and how long will it be typically the the pole relocation is less than a day's worth of work the pole movements yes but while they are moving the pole no service will be interrupted it's after you know then they can actually check and then you know adjust but relocating the service

▶ 39:26 Speaker 4: shouldn't take up to an hour's worth of work yes so the customer will be out for less than one hour less than one hour yes and they'll move the total they'll install the pole and do they do everything the same day or do they come back a couple weeks later so that's a good question so this poll is a jointly owned poll so we own 50% with Verizon so national good will do install poll installation will move all our red wires to the new poll and then call the poll at the top rise on another third-party attachments will be expected to transfer so Verizon actually takes out the poll at the end of the day yeah so we will just install the new pole and the Verizon will be expected to take out the

▶ 40:18 Mark Garipay: existing pole so okay and is there will they what will the notification be to

▶ 40:21 Speaker 4: the neighbors I think that was one of their other questions yeah usually with all the weather events I'm sure they still give the neighbors if any member of interrupted you know like the days what you know notice ahead of time to let them know to be interruption or probably moving something around especially where it's going to impact anybody yes but there's not going to be any major impacts they may do their work without you know notifying these neighbors yeah okay and and there's enough room to put the pole in where that tree is or will there be some trimming of the trees there will definitely be like some tree trimming required yes okay thank you I have no Any more questions?

▶ 41:19 Speaker 4: Okay. Yeah. The owner of 21 Orient Ave, she wants to expand her driveway. So the pole would be just right in the middle, if you look at the sketch. So we have to move, you know, not to obstruct the vehicular flow in and out of her property.

▶ 41:36 Speaker 3: Okay. And Mr. Reese, does that driveway work require any type of an easement that the city would have to be involved in? No, I don't believe it does. I think it conforms with our curb cut requirements that we have. Okay. Thank you.

▶ 41:54 Speaker 4: This is still on public way, so I don't think there's no need for easements at this point.
