10:24 there are indirect impacts of tree canopy even on energy efficiency in the built environment. And our letter gets into some details about that, and I'll leave that for you. We really urge the city to adopt tree ordinances and update its regulations to support tree canopy goals and sustainable management as recommended by the Urban Forestry Management Plan, and that aligns with the urban growth and energy use studies and guidelines. But we are particularly supportive of developer incentives and policies for tree preservation and planting, and protecting mature native trees through the urban area that are protected through the heritage tree regulations. So again, we appreciate your serious consideration of our suggestions, the details are in the letter, and we hope that it'll be entered into the public record. Thank you for your time. - Thank you, Mr. Meyer. Closing the community communication, I do not have any additional individuals.
