▶ 10:26 Speaker 7: Thank you. Um, thank you for hearing this order tonight. Uh, this one's pretty straightforward. It's a $50,000 earmark from the state. Um, it was actually approved, uh, in the budget last July, but for some reason just took a really long time to get the paperwork together. Um, so we're finally the paperwork from the state side, so we're finally able to accept it, um, formally as the city. So it's, um, $50,000 towards the energy efficiency upgrades that we've been doing. Um, we do these sort of continuously with National Grid. There are a lot of major incentive programs where they pay a good portion of the cost. Um, and this earmark was specific to LED lighting upgrades at some of the schools.
