▶ 48:51 Jen Grigoraitis: Madam Mayor. Thank you, Madam Chair. Um, just, I, I know the language of the order is a little confusing. It, it has to mirror, um, the language that was submitted to Bond Council. This is the initial first request for, um, bonding related to the four public safety buildings that were approved in a dead exclusion in November. Um, as I had previously let you all know, scheduling is hard and I messed up calendars and, um, Ms. Gaffey is actually away attending a family event tonight. I think it's critical that she's here to answer questions. So I would, um, request a motion to hold this in. Committee.

▶ 49:22 Speaker 3: Motion to hold second.

This, uh, order will be held in committee, uh, and we'll, we'll coordinate and when it will be rescheduled for.
