26:02 DAVE'S HERE. SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE YOU, DAVE. I KNOW DAVE WORKED OUT A PLAN ON THIS POSITION SPECIFICALLY. OKAY. I WOULD SAY MY POSITION WAS EXACTLY YOUR POSITION IN THE LAST BUDGET. WE FOCUSED ON DEPLOYING STAFF AT THE LEVEL OF ENSURING WE MAINTAIN AS MANY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES AS POSSIBLE. I'M STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF THIS PROPOSAL AND THIS BUDGET CYCLE, ONLY SPEAKING FOR PARTS, THE REASON BEING WE NEED TO HAVE A FUTURE AS WELL AS SUSTAINED SERVICE LEVELS AND ULTIMATELY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SIGNIFICANT WORK IN OUR PARKS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ALIGN A PROPOSAL FOR POTENTIAL LONG-TERM FUNDING AND WE'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT ANNEXING UP TO 35 FACILITIES WITH CLARK COUNTY AND WE CAN'T -- I DON'T BELIEVE WE CAN ADEQUATELY PLAN FOR THE FUTURE WITH OUR CURRENT STAFF COMPLEMENT, FOCUSING PRIMARILY ON DEPLOYING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT WE

27:00 OFFER TODAY. SO I THINK THAT ADDITIONAL MANAGEMENT WILL PRIMARILY BE FOCUSED ON THOSE PREPARING US FOR ANNEXATION GROWTH AND SUSTAINABLE FUNDING. ARE YOU PROPOSING IN THIS BUDGET CYCLE ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE STAFF? YES. YOU'LL SEE A PROPOSAL COMING THROUGH PUBLIC WORKS BUDGET THAT WOULD RESTORE SEASONAL TEMPORARY STAFF AND GROUNDS MAINTENANCE. SO THERE WOULD BE SOME -- AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AN ADDITIONAL PROGRAM BEING MOVED TO DEPLOY THAT POSITION TO BETTER SUPPORT EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA DURING THE SUMMER. SO WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE MAJOR SERVICE IMPACTS. I THINK ULTIMATELY WE WILL CONTINUE TO ONE STEP UP, MAYBE ONE STEP OR TWO STEP BACK AS WE

27:58 MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT ADDITIONAL DEDICATED FUNDING. SO I THINK WE WANT TO DO BOTH. WE WANT TO MANAGE OUR SERVICE AND CURRENT RESOURCES, BUT MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING THE WORK TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE AS WELL. OKAY. THANKS FOR ALL OF THOSE RESPONSES. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THESE PREVIOUS SLIDES? OR ANY OF THE PROPOSALS SO FAR?
