▶ 1:39:04 Speaker 11: Uh, the, uh, memo speaks for itself, uh, snow and ice, uh, annually is, uh, allowed to be spent into deficit. And at the end of the year, uh, we work with the CFO to appropriate monies to make that whole and not necessarily finance the snow and ice deficit over a three year period as the state allows. This year. Our deficit stands, uh, at about $90,000. Uh, the majority of that cost and that deficit is made up out of our salt purchases. We're at historic highs and the maintenance of our fleet. We did respond to several, uh, snow ice events that, uh, obviously taxes our fleet. Uh, and the majority of anything that we spent in deficit is made up, uh, from a surplus. We still have remaining in our contract. Uh, vendors, uh, we obviously did not call contracted vendors in for the number of storms that we had this year. Thus the deficit this year sits at about $90,000. And, uh, we respectfully ask for passage to cover that deficit.
