▶ 15:40 Speaker 2: clay good evening I appreciate your consideration for immediate consideration for this grant it's one of those scheduling things if you remember Remember the previous Mass in Motion grant that was supposed to go for several years was eliminated from next year's federal budget, so it was scheduled to end the end of this month. The State actually applied for some other funding, and we applied for a new grant for Mass in Motion, which we were successful in receiving, but because it uses federal funds Once again, it starts September 30th, which is the beginning of the federal fiscal year. And the funds are primarily used for salaries. And your next meeting isn't until October, which would mean that we wouldn't be able to pay the salary of the person until after your October meeting, scheduling-wise, which is why we're asking for media consideration. It's $40,000 a year for three years, pro-rated the first year. So it's $30,000, $40,000, $40,000, which totals $110,000. It's less than our last grant. It's $40,000 a year instead of $60,000, but it is still for Melrose and Wakefield. And Kara has agreed to stay on for less hours, and we've supplemented her hours with money from Wakefield's drug-free community grant. she's staying at the same hours but doing a little bit different work is that confusing enough
