Cross_cutting

1:27:27 as far as I know, as far as you've updated us in the past. So would you say that's about right? I will make a comment. Other plans that I've seen from other jurisdictions and other entities have a 2050 plan. So we are technically going to beat it by four years via the plan, as long as all of the technology is there, the funding is there. And that's one of our biggest concerns, is fiscal responsibility. So we want to be able to do a phased approach, and then come back and make sure that what we're spending, dollar per carbon footprint, is actually doing the most benefit. Or would that funding of public dollars be best suited used in other areas, and not in our vehicle fleet? And I will just say, it would be nice if the state could kick in some money for all the counties. That would be nice. This is the first step.

1:28:26 So this policy, having it approved, will allow us to start reaching out to state and federal grant programs, and non-federal or state. So there's a lot of private grants that are available. But we have to have a plan in place and approved to be able to put in our application for these. Thank you, Tyler. I appreciate that. OK, thank you for that clarification. Yes, go ahead, Councilor Young. If I could add, infrastructure is what makes it not cancel out. If that infrastructure is there, EVs are so much cheaper to operate. And we could have been saving money for a long time with this. Again, I'm excited that we're at where we're at. I'm just frustrated that it hasn't happened sooner. Because the county really could have saved some considerable funds by not having to pay for fuel.

1:29:23 Or I should say, by paying a lot less for fuel. We needed to have a plan, though. And that's what we're getting. Any other comments from council? Yes, go ahead. Yes, Chair. Thank you. Thank you for the work that you've done in this. I really appreciate it. I just wanted to point out, under section F, reporting and accountability, that there is flexibility.
