Wildlife habitat and biodiversity were not actually discussed during this meeting. The environmental conversations focused entirely on groundwater monitoring and regulatory compliance at the former Camp Bonneville military site and the closed Lechner Landfill, as well as the adoption of a new county electric vehicle policy. The word "Salmon" was only mentioned in reference to surplus county properties located in the Salmon Creek neighborhood, rather than the fish or its habitat.

2:05:47 So we don't advertise for tax title parcels. There usually is interest generated by them contacting myself or someone in my staff. And then if we get competitive bidders or competitive interest, then we work with the treasurer's office. When it comes to properties that have been purchased with the road fund for the purposes of delivering capital projects, we have in the past, and it's probably been way before COVID, that we've actually had a public auction to surplus what is left over. And what Public Works actually does surplus off is viable pieces of land. And right now, we are in the process, staff, and I'm working closely with the surveyor's office
2:06:42 to be able to have records of survey, stake it, get these pieces of property ready for availability. There are some properties in Salmon Creek that-- and I can get you a list, Councilor Young-- of some parcels that have high density. I have reached out to the Vancouver Housing Authority to see, personally myself, to see if they were interested in that. And I just don't think it was in their budgeting cycle at the time. So I mean, as far as actively doing that, that's something that we have not done in Public Works yet. But it is on the horizon. We are working on this to hopefully get these off to auction. I'm particularly interested in how successful the treasurer's office is on the tax title online auction. And if that is successful, I have a roadmap
2:07:40 to move forward with this. OK, thank you for that information. I probably might reach out for a little bit more detailed information offline. OK. OK, thank you. Are there any other questions? And if not, it's been moved and seconded. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. OK, motion carries. That is 7, 8, 9, and 11.
