▶ 1:24:15 Speaker 3: Any questions? Council Williams? So
▶ 1:24:18 Ryan Williams: We had a question a moment ago by my colleagues about the cost of moving things from in-house staff to contractors. And I wonder if this is an example of that.
▶ 1:24:27 Speaker 7: This is somewhat of an example of that. These are con these are consultants who are already working with us. They've already designed these three construction projects at a minimum asbestos removal, um, the skylights and the Franklin roof and the HVAC chillers at the middle school and the Lincoln. Um, they are all already working with us on those projects, but once we get into construction, especially with no facilities manager, we just wanna be able to have them on site as much as we need them. Yeah. Um, so it's a, a little bit of a shift. Some of it we would be doing anyway, and then some of it is certainly a shift to having them help more because we're short staffed. Yeah.
