1:38:35 Yeah. Upper Main Street, Mid Main Street. Oh, Upper Main Street is not on here. So it seems like there are some other projects that have been discussed that didn't make this list.

So looking at revenue tools, I really only wanted to focus on the ones that I would consider to be larger scale. And I'm not asking council to make decisions on those tonight, but just again to point them out as we frame the budget up. We've had significant conversation on the law enforcement sales tax.

1:39:34 That's the penny of sales tax that we are authorized to do that would accompany the state grants to allow us to do our next stage of hiring in VPD. But we have the children and family services sales tax. That is tied to services for those specific populations. And we're investigating the application of that to see for some of the services that we already provide like support for the Children's Justice Center. Can those be shifted to that? Which would then in turn allow us to free up dollars to go towards other services. On the business and occupations tax, we have a very limited implementation of that one now. We put a .1% of the .2% that we are legally allowed to do and applied it just to retailers. We're currently estimating that that's gonna bring in about $5.4 million in this budget, but there is capacity there.

1:40:28 That tax is one that can be selectively applied, but you do have to make sure that you're treating all businesses in a category the same way. So we could not for example, say we want retailers that have a gross revenue of more than $12 million per year to pay this rate
