[10:17] If not, city clerk.
[10:20] Board member Pelletier? Yes. Board member Ayers.
[10:24] Yes, Chairman, I understand. Yes.
[10:28] And that concludes, I know it says public participation, but.
[10:32] Huh. I don't know if that we can do no, I'm saying we kind of covered that with the individual items. So I think this was just.
[10:40] Put on here.
[10:42] Just carry it over. Would you check that with Kevin?
[10:46] Massive lending, public participation in the CRA budget meeting. I can. Well, I think we did it, you know, I'm just saying I'm not
[10:51] trying to prevent no, but that's I'm thinking.
[10:58] We don't typically do just.
[11:00] Non agenda on at this. I think that was probably just just for the item kind of the carryover.
[11:07] So that completes our CRA budget hearing. So we will adjourn this meeting.
