And, um, I think if we don't get them, we would. Probably have to do some, um, patching of the, the roof just to maintain it. Um, because we do have some active leaks, especially in the Hoover, the Hoover, the Hoover of the 2 is, is the highest priority because it's. Has more active leaks and so we actually have to pick 1 priority and when we submit, just in case they only are able to award 1. So, the Hoover would be is the higher priority for that reason. Um, so I think that the city would have to do some repairs. And we would probably then try to apply again next year. This grant program is generally offered once per year.
