▶ 1:23:47 Mark Garipay: I see that we've done 150, as you mentioned, both in the city side and the side last year was 50,000. was that just. Refresh my memory was that because of the situation that we find ourselves in and the uncertainty at the time with with free cash.
▶ 1:24:10 Speaker 3: Only doing doing 50,000, if I may respectfully to the chair. What the $300,000 represented was a five year agreement that George pesos had entered. The prior director, and it was 300,000 a year for 5 years, I believe. And that's why you saw the, the change. From the 300,000 to the to the 100,000 in the budget and 200,000 capital outlay. It was because that that, um. 5 year agreement we had ended.
