Opportunities for public comment are highly encouraged during meetings for both the county's Agricultural Advisory Commission and the Charter Review Commission. The Agricultural Advisory Commission invites farmers, consumers, and food system workers to share local agricultural feedback during their monthly hybrid meetings. Similarly, the Charter Review Commission dedicates a specific portion of their weekly agenda to public comment, allowing individuals three minutes each to voice their opinions on proposed amendments to the county charter.

15:43 And also some of them deal with the ethics commission, making some changes to the ethics commission. Okay. So, so Duncan has the commission agreed on these proposals for the November 2026 election? If not, what are the kind of the final steps to make sure they're to get them on the ballot? Yeah. So nothing has been determined yet for the ballot. We have a working groups together and so we have different committees that are researching the impact of each amendment on the community. So we can have a bigger picture of, of exactly the impact it's going to have. And so those committees will come back in front of the full commission and they'll give us a proposal or a discussion about what they've learned and what they've come up with. And then the entire commission will vote to either move the amendment forward to the ballot or to hold it off or to defer it. And then in each meeting, people can make public can come and make comments on different
16:42 proposals and give their input to correct. Yeah. In fact, we encourage that we have a specific part on the agenda that's just for public comment because we want, we're, we want to hear from the public, want to hear what their thoughts are on things and it's a really a good time for them. Everybody gets three minutes regardless, and they can come tell us their, their opinions and their wants and their wishes and all that, as long as it's germane to the amendments that are there. Sure, sure. And now onto you. So do you have outreach plans in place for discussing these proposals with the public? We do. We have formed a public outreach committee and we've launched quite a few projects that will help us gather input from citizens. We are putting an online feedback form on our website at clark.wa.gov/charter, where you can give your opinion pro or con on these proposals.
17:40 We also will have an old school version, a paper version that will be at, at different town hall events that we will be holding as well as neighborhood associations and different county events. We will also be doing a social media post that let people know about individual proposals, directing them back to our website.
