13:15 disengagement, which has created a loss of public trust and respect around the person in this position. So as you look at rules and procedures and we move forward on implementing the comp plan and we have a counselor who's not engaged, how and what does the council do to make sure that this person does step up and really do their job? Thank you. Thank you. Sure. That concludes public comment. Okay. Thank you very much for all those comments. We're moving on to the consent agenda items one through 13. Is there any item anyone would like to pull? Sure. Yes. I'd like to pull item number five. We

14:08 don't need staff for this. Item five. Okay. Anyone else? Okay. Then I'll entertain a motion to approve the consent agenda one through 13 omitting item five. So moved. Thank you. It's been moved. Moved and seconded. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Motion carries. Okay. Item five. Councilor Young. Just wanted to bring this one out to the public because it is sad. These are some trees here. Actually you can see them both right here through the shades. They're taller than our building. Sad to see them go and you know it goes to speak about some of the challenges we're experiencing. We believe they were challenged by the some of the you know the the beetle problems that we're having with trees but sad to see them go and just hoping that that

15:08 staff can work to try to see if there's a way that we can preserve and stop some of these trees that are dying down here because I read this the staff report and there's quite a bit of our of our old and aging trees and growth dying around the Public Service Center but I see Michelle on there if you've had any comments go ahead but otherwise I just wanted to recognize and so the public is aware. Yeah it is very sad that we're seeing this happening with a lot of our trees in the downtown area so we are working with our Forestry Department and our grounds crew department and hopefully we can get this to stop so.
