▶ 2:55:48 Speaker 4: Mr. LaRusso, any, anything you wanna highlight for us before we

▶ 2:55:52 Speaker 9: I will. I, I, it actually, it applies to all of them. Okay, great. For Us. Um, fantastic. Just a couple points. Um, this is different than an appropriation. It's a transfer of existing money from, typically from the same department to other lines within, within the budget. It's necessary so that we can close out each department in a positive way so that no department cares over a deficit in any way. And, um, at the end of the year. But again, it's not new money. It's money that's been appropriate already and it's simply being allocated at the end of the year. We call it housekeeping and it's, you see this every single year, you'll always see it because that's the nature of what, what happens. That's all. But it's not new money and it's, you can see the numbers are not, um, uh, at least a concern to me.

▶ 2:56:39 Speaker 4: Thank you, Mr. LaRusso. Um, president Greg. Greg, sorry.
