2:14:31 there was no way to know that there was a 16% reduction. So that actually kind of, I think, might violate a law for public disclosure. So some of that stuff gets obviously really important from that standpoint. And again, same comments of, I mean, I like the numbers, they drop in a little bit, but a breakdown, you know, it doesn't look like we'll get a disco, but on how we want to look at that, and some of that's a policy decision, like you have a massive distribution center. Do we want to charge them a big fire impact fee or not charge them a big fire impact fee? Maybe we do, because they don't produce, maybe necessarily the jobs that we want, but that's a policy decision. But from a fire service standpoint, I think it would be valuable information to have for the policy makers. - Thank you.

2:15:28 - This is Commissioner LaDuke-Montgomery, kind of coming back to the overarching issue of planning for growth as part of this comprehensive plan. I noticed that you mentioned, you know, locating a new fire station, 64, to help serve the growth. And then you also identified that some of the existing service items weren't quite meeting the goals of like 90%, like the turnout time or first arriving unit. So I was wondering if you could speak to how these impact fees, I guess, would address, like if they're solely needed because there's growth, or if it's because there's certain service issues already in place, and just maybe discuss some of that, since we're here talking about future growth planning. - Yeah, there are, you know, we, at District 6, we have a few geographical challenges, and so we currently don't meet all of our benchmarks in certain corners of our district. Those corners include that area of 179th

2:16:28 in the kind of northeastern corner of our district. We do have great mutual aid agreements. We actually share a fire station with Clark Cowlitz Fire and Rescue at the West Precinct, or Public Safety Center on 179th, and we share that fire station there, respond one third of the time. Clark Cowlitz responds another third, or two thirds of the time, excuse me.
