34:44 So we are absolutely delighted that this final report is ready to go out and to start working on it. And Temple, you can come back at any time. - But I would move adoption of resolution 04/26/12, the Regional Emergency Transportation Routes map for Clark County and Endorse Metro's Regional Emergency Transportation Routes final report. - I'll second that. - A motion and a second, any further discussion? I think the thing that stuck out to me is it makes no sense if one city clears 502 and the next city doesn't. So the inter-agency work on there obviously is a lot of work and it's very obvious how much went into that. So thank you for that. Seeing no discussion, all in favor of the motion on the floor, please say aye. - Aye. - Any opposed?

35:42 Passes unanimously, thank you. Next, we have their Federal Grant Obligation Strategy. Jennifer. You wanna introduce? - Okay, directors, I'd like to just make an introductory comment. This was added to the agenda after publication last week. It was posted yesterday and it's somewhat of an emergency matter under our grant policies that you'll hear described here shortly. The director has the prerogative to present to the board emergency grant award proposals, in this case, a one-time grant award to three specific projects. The reason for that is twofold. One, within the last week, we received our final target number from the state. Up until then, it was only estimated what our target would be. So now we have the final target numbers for obligation. And then earlier on the agenda,

36:41 an amendment to the tip that the board approved withdrew a grant award from our obligation list. It was a Clark County project, roughly 1.25 million withdrawn, so removed from the tip. So we need to balance these two things. We have a target set and we need to essentially backfill. That's why I've brought this forward as an emergency action so that we can stay on course. - Thank you. I'll just provide a little bit more information and background on this proposed strategy that we have in front of you tonight. Yep, sorry. I don't want, I'm like afraid of the feedback. So I'll try to kind of balance the closeness with the feedback. So as we kind of talked about earlier, RTC has responsibilities in terms of the allocation of federal funding that we receive. We are also responsible for making sure that the region meets our obligation target for the federal amount of funding that we do receive.

37:39 And we have all of these kind of policies outlined in the transportation program and guidebooks. So we'll be talking about policy 4.10 tonight related to that. So this is the list of the program projects that we have again for 2026. And as Matt mentioned on the consent agenda for tonight, unfortunately, Clark County is not able to move that Salmon Creek alignment project forward. And we appreciate that they let us know by the deadline of March. So we were able to kind of pivot a little bit, but it wasn't until we found out our final allocation last week that we could kind of do our full analysis to see where we were at in terms of whether we would meet that obligation target. So these are just the projects that we have programmed. Yikes, where'd I go? I'm in the resiliency plan. Oh, there we go.

38:38 Sorry about that.

38:45 So as we looked at the allocation that we got from WSDOT last week and in consideration of the Clark County project that wasn't moving forward, we looked at the potential or the projects that we have programmed for this year. And if any of these projects potentially were delayed, so we asked the agency to either let us know
