Additionally, the budget allocates resources to implement the city's comprehensive plan and increases parks department staffing to prepare for the potential annexation of up to 35 facilities in partnership with Clark County.

47:36 THIS NEXT SLIDE SHOWS THE SAME FORECAST CHART FOR THE 2728 CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED BUDGET, BUT IT ALSO REFLECTS THE USE OF ABOUT $13 MILLION FOR ONE-TIME INITIATIVES. AND SO YOU SAW IN THE STRATEGY SLIDES AND HEARD ABOUT IN EARLIER CONVERSATIONS THE VARIOUS WAYS THAT THE BUDGET PROVIDES ONE-TIME COST SAVINGS OVER THE BIENNIUM. AND THIS FORECAST SLIDE SHOWS THE APPLICATION OF ONE-TIME EXPENDITURES IN GENERAL FUNDS, STREET AND FIRE FUNDS. THESE EXPENDITURES WON'T CARRY FORWARD INTO THE 2930 BIENNIUM, BUT THEY DO SET US UP TO ADVANCE REALLY IMPORTANT INITIATIVES, SO WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THEM FOR YOU.

SO I WAS WONDERING IF THAT WAS
49:34 SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE LOOKED AT IN TERMS OF LEGACY PRACTICES? OR HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THAT AS AN OPTION? I THINK THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING TO EVALUATE. WHEN I'M SORT OF THINKING ABOUT
