▶ 39:09 Peter D. Mortimer: In the section of the charter, we had our charter committee represented by Alderman Zwirko and Alderman Tramontozzi with some recommendations that came out of that charter commission. And there was a question of language on Thursday night last, May 18th, as to whether when the old charter says the aldermen need to take action before June 15th, whether taking action means a full up or down vote, or whether that could mean setting a public hearing. And I asked our city solicitor, Robert Van Campen, for clarification. And it is his opinion that setting a public hearing would be sufficient to satisfy the language of taking action. So at some point in the near future, we will set a public hearing. that people may come forward, we'll probably wait until the budget is done or almost near done. So we can discuss the implementation and institution of a new charter. Thank you for your indulgence in letting me report back to that. And I think now that's all business done unless anyone has anything else. Motion to adjourn. We have a motion to adjourn from Alderman McAteer-Margolis. Second. Duly seconded by Alderman Zwirko. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. opposed, hearing none, we are adjourned. Thank you, one and all.
