Cross_cutting

51:51 carve-outs, I'm saying this because I've been part of conversations at Association Washington Cities. So that's why I have knowledge. The quote unquote millionaire's tax provided carve-outs for things. If that gets overturned or thrown out by the courts, those carve-outs, I believe are tied and would go away. So, yeah. - Any other questions of Seth? - Mayor, if I could, I think just to help with the context on some of this discussion, I think the question might come up about what changed between proposition four and proposition five. And if you think back to proposition four, JC has already talked about some of the conditions

52:51 that changed as far as HB 2442 being passed and the new state grant program being created. But with the second one, we really focused on how many people could we accommodate within our existing facilities? Because proposition five was also accompanied by the knowledge that at some point the city was gonna have to add another building and that there would be an excess levy bond vote that would be put in front of the public and then that there would be in future years the likelihood of a sales tax vote being put out there to both pay for the cost of operating that facility but the ongoing costs of those officers. So it was a very long seven, eight year process with multiple asks that would have needed to be put in front of the public. And with the second one, we really worked to simplify it, work within our existing facilities. Part of the driver on the existing facilities was that annexation discussions actually started to happen as the county and the city moved through

53:50 our respective comprehensive planning processes and looking at the future of the area. That was not part of the original discussions and as those types of things take place, if annexation starts to occur, that changes our needs,
