[1:01:54] 
[1:02:15] Does anything materially
change for users of the road ?
[1:02:19] To properly evaluate
the proposal,
[1:02:20] the following questions
should be asked, which I just
[1:02:23] did The standard operating
procedures While there may be
[1:02:27] no immediate fiscal impact
associated with accepting
[1:02:30] this roadway, the long
term financial implications
[1:02:33] are significant.
[1:02:35] Ownership would transfer ongoing
future costs to the town.
[1:02:39] Routine maintenance and repairs.
[1:02:42] Snow removal seasonal upkeep.
[1:02:44] Drainage infrastructure signage
and safety improvements.
[1:02:47] We have to police
it major resurfacing
[1:02:51] and eventual reconstruction.
[1:02:52] These costs would be borne
by Johnstown taxpayers
[1:02:55] and over the long term A
comprehensive, long term
[1:02:58] fiscal analysis is necessary
before any decision is made.
[1:03:03] This should include projected
costs over ten, 20 30 years,
[1:03:07] not just short term
budget impacts.
[1:03:10] It's important to recognize
that while acquisition
[1:03:12] may be free today ownership
will not be free in the future.
[1:03:16] We learned that with Water
and Storm water at this time,
[1:03:20] I can't support
accepting the roadway
[1:03:22] without a clear and compelling
benefit to the town.
[1:03:25] The decision should not be based
on solely on opportune duty
[1:03:28] to assume ownership, but rather
on a demonstrated public benefit
[1:03:32] that justifies the
long term taxpayer
[1:03:35] obligation Before
proceeding, I recommend
[1:03:38] that we we obtain a detailed
long term fiscal impact
[1:03:42] analysis a clear explanation
of the purpose and benefit
[1:03:46] of the transfer and a formal
assessment of the consequences
[1:03:50] of the decline of declining the
proposal Until these questions
[1:03:54] are fully addressed, I believe
the town should proceed
[1:03:56] with caution and avoid
assuming unnecessary long term
[1:04:00] infrastructure
obligations as set out.
[1:04:04] Proposing just getting
rid of the fringe road
[1:04:06] and not maintain at all.
[1:04:07] Or there just.
[1:04:08] Hey you guys want to take
it over kind of a deal
[1:04:10] because that makes a difference
because a lot of residential
[1:04:12] developments, the access that.
[1:04:14] Yeah, I mean so so if you look
at the different access points
[1:04:19] that have been permitted I
think see that has given us
[1:04:23] a lot of leniency
with those because
[1:04:25] of the fact of anticipation
of us take ownership
[1:04:29] of those roadways I would also
note any time we annex property.
[1:04:36] We take the right of way right.
[1:04:41] So we end up maintaining those
Those are our obligations.
[1:04:46] You can't just take the
land You don't get the good
[1:04:51] but not the challenges that come
with it to say that we haven't
[1:04:58] received a lot of economic
benefit from this roadway I
[1:05:03] I'd I'd respectfully disagree
between Wright John's and corner
[1:05:10] access on Ronald
Reagan as a result
[1:05:14] the new developments that have
come in over there you look
[1:05:17] at Toms River ranch
the Outlook apartments
[1:05:21] the new commercial buildings
that are getting ready to be
[1:05:26] constructed over there.
[1:05:27] We're seeing some we
benefit as a result
[1:05:32] of our our decision from a from
a land development standpoint.
[1:05:41] You know, we wouldn't
have been able to put
[1:05:45] the artwork at 402 at all.
[1:05:51] That would have been
denied by c dot.
[1:05:55] They did not want to support
that We have leveraged that
[1:06:01] relationship with c dot to put
in the type of community that we
[1:06:07] want there by putting artwork in
there by allowing subdivisions
[1:06:11] and commercial development to
occur and they have trusted that
[1:06:16] we are going to reciprocate by
taking this this roadway which
[1:06:21] has been part of a a commitment
by the town over Eight years
[1:06:28] ago, had we not done this
and made that commitment,
[1:06:33] then they probably wouldn't have
done all the improvements on 4O2
[1:06:38] either that they did So the
thing that we don't receive
[1:06:42] economic development
and financial benefit
[1:06:46] that comes from
that partnership is
[1:06:52] is probably not fully accurate.
[1:06:54] So speaking of that,
so the if we were
[1:06:57] to take over that frontage road
those businesses that you just
[1:07:01] talked about that are
opening, is that something
[1:07:03] that they paid towards the town
Because that what that's opening
[1:07:06] the businesses, the commercial
buildings that you talked about
[1:07:08] in all the different things
is that something that they're
[1:07:12] taxed on a little
bit to where they
[1:07:14] actually help and contribute
to the town for that access?
[1:07:19] Just like road
maintenance type of fees.
[1:07:22] They certainly pay
transportation impact fees.
[1:07:26] Absolutely.
[1:07:27] Residential development
does commercial development
[1:07:30] does based on commercial does
based on the square footage.
[1:07:36] So us owning it for
a benefit in that way
[1:07:38] versus not owning it because
then they don't that feet
[1:07:42] is a problem They be less
access and less interested
[1:07:47] businesses that would
come out as a result.
[1:07:50] I think that we probably
have to take down the well.
[1:07:52] Yeah, I think the way I look
at this is I can understand
[1:07:56] both sides, but this has been
I do eight year relationship
[1:07:59] building that's allowed us
John's town to progress further
[1:08:02] to build and, you
know, take out some
[1:08:05] of those easements and roads.
[1:08:06] And when you're
looking at business,
[1:08:08] relationships are important.
[1:08:09] And if you don't develop, and
establish those relationships
[1:08:11] over a eight year time span,
you wouldn't be afforded
[1:08:14] this opportunity for a project.
[1:08:16] And who's to say that we don't
annex land further along a 25
[1:08:20] or an 925 You know,
these relationships
[1:08:24] are going to be important
by taking on 3.9 miles.
[1:08:27] It could make us 40 $50
million later down the road is
[1:08:31] kind of the way I look at it.
[1:08:32] I'm one for annexation.
[1:08:34] If we have a opportunity
in front of us
[1:08:36] to expand John's town and we
do it, I look at back in 1999,
[1:08:41] there was a former
Mayor Martinez,
[1:08:43] who proposed the 2534
annexation in to buy it People
[1:08:47] looked at him like he was crazy.
[1:08:49] And they recalled him.
[1:08:50] And you know, he was
voted out of office.
[1:08:52] But those folks today now enjoy
25, 34 and all the amenities
[1:08:57] and establishments in
the tax dollars that
[1:08:59] come into this
community So sometimes I
[1:09:01] think we got to look at the
future versus the right now.
[1:09:05] And I think this is
a future opportunity
[1:09:08] and I'm going to push
forward on this one.
[1:09:11] I'm with the staff
approval on this.
[1:09:14] Well in part of
that agreement to
[1:09:16] was when we looked at the
realignment of the frontage road
[1:09:20] that they took away the
existing front of Frontage
[1:09:23] Road up Highway
60, exit and moved
[1:09:27] that back to the to that major
intersection to the east.
[1:09:32] So that that whole area would
see that realignment Then
[1:09:37] as part of that conceptual
plan any further deliberation
[1:09:44] from counsel before I open
it up to public comment
[1:09:49] if I could add just one point.
[1:09:50] Sure.
[1:09:51] The 90 days also is pursuant to
state statute, which requires
[1:09:55] that within 90 days of their
approval of the relinquishment
[1:09:59] that we actually
accept the roadway.
[1:10:01] So if you were to continue
this for additional studies,
[1:10:05] we would be well
past the 90 days
[1:10:07] from when they actually
approved the relinquishment.
[1:10:10] So it's not a simple extension
it's not just 90 days
[1:10:14] for the IGA, the
IGA, for some reason
[1:10:17] they want it approved
by ordinance.
[1:10:18] But really the ordinance
also applies to us accepting
[1:10:21] the roadway within 90 days.
[1:10:23] Thank you.
[1:10:24] You.
[1:10:25] With that, I'll go ahead and
open up to public comment.
[1:10:28] I don't have any slips, but
as anybody who like to speak
[1:10:31] or against the
application nothing.
[1:10:34] Heard anything on line no more.
[1:10:36] All right.
[1:10:36] We'll close out the public
comment with Council
[1:10:39] like to further
deliberate on this
[1:10:40] before I close out
the public hearing
[1:10:42] and put it to vote All right.
[1:10:45] Nothing heard We'll
go ahead and close
[1:10:47] out the public hearing meeting.
[1:10:48] Can you please read the
ordinance Total 2020 6-297
[1:10:56] Ordinance number 2020 6-2 97.

[1:12:02] I all oppose I. I serve it.
[1:12:07] Motion carries with that
will go ahead and open
[1:12:09] the public hearing for the
Johnstown downtown development
[1:12:13] Authority Plan of Development
Go and get staff report,
[1:12:15] please Agree to Good
evening, Mayor and council.
[1:12:35] I'm here to present
the plan of development
[1:12:38] on behalf of the Downtown
Development authority.
[1:12:40] I think it's always helpful
to provide some timeline
[1:12:43] on how we got here.
[1:12:44] And what we've been working on
over the last couple of years
[1:12:46] when it comes to our downtown
area So about a year ago,
[1:12:49] actually in August,
Town Council,
[1:12:51] you all approved the downtown
master Plan project, which
[1:12:54] really outlined how we
went downtown to continue
[1:12:57] to be an economically
healthy area
[1:12:59] and corridor in our community,
but also expand thoughtfully
[1:13:03] We quickly moved in to what we
called a downtown feasibility
[1:13:07] study after the adoption of
that downtown master plan
[1:13:10] And what that project did was
explore the different types
[1:13:13] of special districts that
exist in Colorado in which One
[1:13:16] of these districts
would be most beneficial
[1:13:18] and actually making that
downtown master plan reality.
[1:13:21] We launched that
project in August
[1:13:23] and went through several phases.
[1:13:24] The last phase was
an election in April
[1:13:27] which saw the approval and
creation of the Downtown
[1:13:30] Development authority, as well
as access to tax increment
[1:13:33] financing This
slide here shows you
[1:13:37] an exhibit of that downtown
Development Authority
[1:13:41] and their district boundaries It
also had qualifies the Downtown
[1:13:46] Development authority as like
as a quasi governmental entity,
[1:13:49] which means they are governed
by several state statutes
[1:13:52] and they have
yearly budgets that
[1:13:54] also need to come in front of
council for approval as well.
[1:13:58] Since the April
election, the town
[1:14:00] council appointed a DDA board.
[1:14:02] We've had several board
meetings with them.
[1:14:04] And we are happy to announce
that this week, we're reviewing
[1:14:07] executive directors for the DDA
And so they're making progress
[1:14:11] and moving things along.
[1:14:12] But one of the items that they
need to also ensure that they
[1:14:15] adopt or that gets adopted this
year is the plan of development.
[1:14:19] We brought forward the
plan of development
[1:14:21] to the planning and Zoning
Commission last week
[1:14:23] and they did recommend
approval to the town council.
[1:14:28] This here just provides that
state statue on how that plan
[1:14:31] of development gets approved.
[1:14:33] So I mentioned that
there is a process to it.
[1:14:35] The first of it being going
over it going in front
[1:14:38] of the planning and Zoning
commission then ultimately
[1:14:40] in front of town council
for consideration
[1:14:43] So what is a plan
of development Well,
[1:14:45] what is required
by state statute
[1:14:47] for a downtown Development
Authority to have one,
[1:14:49] It essentially
governs and guides
[1:14:51] how a Downtown
Development authority acts
[1:14:53] and the different focuses and
priorities that they have.
[1:14:57] If the downtown development
Authority Board at some point
[1:14:59] decided to make substantial
changes to this document
[1:15:03] before you all for approval
So the John Sounds DDA planted
[1:15:10] development is really
guided and informed
[1:15:12] by the downtown master plan.
[1:15:13] And what it does is it
takes a visionary document
[1:15:17] like the Master plan and
actually provides actions
[1:15:19] steps and goals of how to
realize that vision And so what
[1:15:22] you see in the plan to develop
and for John Sound is really
[1:15:25] providing steps behind how to
make that master plan a reality
[1:15:31] for some historical context.
[1:15:32] We spent about a year getting
community input for the Downtown
[1:15:36] Master plan to
really help inform us
[1:15:39] what are the prior things
that stakeholders want to see
[1:15:41] in our downtown And so this
gives you here an idea of some
[1:15:44] of the improvements
and priorities
[1:15:46] that we have for historical
downtown core, but also areas
[1:15:50] for potential expansion
of our downtown
[1:15:54] So when we look at the
plan of development
[1:15:56] it really takes those
priorities again
[1:15:58] and rings them into actionable
steps The plan of development
[1:16:01] itself is divided
into four chapters,
[1:16:04] the first being just
background on the project
[1:16:06] and how we got here.
[1:16:08] The second really outlining the
DDA, its areas, sub areas and
[1:16:12] potential areas for expansion.
[1:16:15] Chapter three and
Chapter 4 really
[1:16:16] are the meat of the docket
meant where you see the work
[1:16:19] plan in actual implementation
behind these goals There was
[1:16:24] also a mission that was
created for the plan
[1:16:26] of development This
mission was created
[1:16:28] by the DDA working group.
[1:16:30] And this DDA working group
was really the folks boots
[1:16:33] on the ground when
we were working
[1:16:34] on the election for this project
and then talking to stakeholders
[1:16:39] and electors within the downtown
boundary They worked together
[1:16:44] with our consultants Puma, to
develop this mission and really
[1:16:47] and set really set some guiding
principles for how we want
[1:16:50] the DDA to operate the
plan of development
[1:16:55] also focuses a lot
on dDA structure.
[1:16:58] What the board
makeup looks like,
[1:17:00] how we want to ensure that
we're involving the stakeholders
[1:17:02] and community when it
comes to the downtown area
[1:17:06] and then as well, it also has
priorities, which are informed
[1:17:10] by the priorities that we see in
the downtown master plan Lastly,
[1:17:15] the plan of Development also
has a two year action plan
[1:17:18] And so this really outlines some
quick wins for the DDA board.
[1:17:21] And most of these we're
working on as we speak
[1:17:24] and really setting priorities
from a budget standpoint.
[1:17:27] So that we can start making some
of these action items a reality
[1:17:33] That was a really
quick presentation.
[1:17:34] I'm happy to answer any
questions you may have.
[1:17:37] That's perfect I don't have any
questions I'll defer to council.
[1:17:43] No, nothing heard.
[1:17:44] Thank you, sir.
[1:17:46] Is there anybody or an
open up public hearing?
[1:17:48] Is anybody for or against
this application All right.
[1:17:52] Nothing.
[1:17:53] Heard anything on line No
online comments All right.
[1:17:56] We'll go and close
out public comment
[1:17:58] before I close
the public hearing
[1:17:59] I would counsel like to
deliberate further All right.
[1:18:02] Nothing heard.
[1:18:03] We'll go and close out
the public hearing.
[1:18:05] And with that, I'll go
and ask the pleasure
[1:18:07] of the council I move to
approve resolution 2026.
[1:18:11] DoorDash three nine
is presented I'll
[1:18:14] second that motion by
Council member Molnar,
[1:18:17] seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Young.
[1:18:19] Let's go and put it to
voice vote in favor.
[1:18:21] Say i i.
[1:18:22] I'll oppose I have a motion
carries with that, we're going
[1:18:26] to move into council reports
and comments will start off down
[1:18:29] there with council
member in a couple items
[1:18:33] that we had a quarterly
housing authority meeting
[1:18:37] and we made housing laws because
of the problems with the doorway
[1:18:40] Is access, make it easier for
residents going in in at night
[1:18:44] and stuff, which is good.
[1:18:47] The meeting room.
[1:18:48] I think will have member is
reason the center building is
[1:18:50] the meeting room has been all
remodeled that's pretty basic
[1:18:52] improvements to do some things.
[1:18:54] And in some ways Cody
room looks really good.
[1:18:56] It's nice rooms of new
furniture and all the residents
[1:18:59] like something that
came up, things
[1:19:02] that have been in the past.
[1:19:03] But I'll come up again
Private activity bonds.
[1:19:07] I think that was One funding
source that we talked about
[1:19:10] and there was no
deadline But like
[1:19:12] a sunsetting on that
because am I talking
[1:19:14] about the correct thing?
[1:19:16] Yeah I think the
oldest year of payables
[1:19:22] that we have or are
coming up and do.
[1:19:26] There's there's a high
probability that we'll probably
[1:19:28] just turn them over
to chapel since we
[1:19:30] don't have the
potential for issuance
[1:19:33] here before we turn them over.
[1:19:35] Is there a possibility
it can only
[1:19:38] be used for new projects
or new building,
[1:19:40] or can it be used for
improvements of the current
[1:19:43] Because we have there are some
projects coming up that have
[1:19:46] been and need to be done.
[1:19:47] So I'm going to ask Sara to
come up and speak about this.
[1:19:51] Yes, sir So private
activity bonds
[1:19:53] can be utilized for
new or existing project
[1:19:56] but they have to be an
affordable housing project.
[1:19:58] So deed restricted So it is
an affordable housing project.
[1:20:02] So it can be used Yes.
[1:20:04] Go to Matt's point are
2023 private activity bonds
[1:20:08] If we were to utilize
them this year,
[1:20:09] we would have to issue
them by September OK.
[1:20:12] We don't have a viable project
at this time Okay next year?
[1:20:18] Yeah.
[1:20:18] I mean Right.
[1:20:20] So.
[1:20:21] So you can have up to a
running for Four years
[1:20:24] where the is on the books.
[1:20:27] So this 2023 would go off
if we have a project that
[1:20:32] is meaningful and
makes good sense,
[1:20:34] then those would be
available 24, 25 26 and 27.
[1:20:39] Good So, so big projects.
[1:20:41] I mean, that's good.
[1:20:42] It's when you're
ready and the projects
[1:20:45] ripe right kind of thing.
[1:20:47] So there's a lot of
footwork ahead of time.
[1:20:49] But Tumores moving that trash
in closer with the dumpster
[1:20:51] is that's right
next to a building
[1:20:53] needs to be moved away
because the fire hazard
[1:20:56] and then it has an
upgraded fire alarm system.
[1:20:58] But there is no fire sprinkler
system in the two buildings.
[1:21:01] So it's something
it's a retrofit.
[1:21:03] It's costly but something
looking at possibly
[1:21:06] doing before the
new buildings built.
[1:21:08] So that's all plan c Thank you.
[1:21:14] Thank you, Councilmember
Molnar Council
[1:21:16] member and Happy birthday.
[1:21:18] Yeah, Happy birthday.
[1:21:19] 21st birthday.
[1:21:20] Yeah Like I said, the 50th
anniversary of my 21st birthday,
[1:21:26] we had the behavioral health
quarterly meeting last Monday,
[1:21:30] and we have kind of a little
snafu because Fort Collins
[1:21:35] doesn't have anyone who can
attend the meetings because when
[1:21:39] they are held they're held at
8:00 in the morning on a Monday
[1:21:43] And so they have made a request
with the board of county
[1:21:46] commissioners, the Larimer
County Board of County
[1:21:49] Commissioners to
have the deputy town
[1:21:53] manager sit on the
board in stead of Fort
[1:21:59] Collins elected official.
[1:22:00] And I kind of had
a problem with that
[1:22:02] because those seats are meant
for elected officials only.
[1:22:06] And I went back and forth with
the director of the Behavioral
[1:22:10] Health Center and
basically it's,
[1:22:12] you know a short term solution
And but I just i don't want it
[1:22:18] to become, well, if
somebody can't come then
[1:22:21] we just send a staff member
and that's good enough
[1:22:24] because, I mean,
Gary Hall drives down
[1:22:26] from Estes for these meetings.
[1:22:28] I mean, it seems like Fort
Collins could come to Fort
[1:22:31] Collins but that's neither
here nor there They
[1:22:36] are getting ready to award
their grants that they
[1:22:40] have accepted applications for.
[1:22:43] They have $3 million this
year to award in grants.
[1:22:47] And this is a tax of a tax.
[1:22:50] And Larimer County
tax And it's going
[1:22:53] to be sunsetting fairly soon.
[1:22:55] So they're going to
be putting it back
[1:22:57] on the ballot in Larimer
County for to pay
[1:23:01] for this gorgeous facility.
[1:23:03] They have for mental health and
they've just opened the youth
[1:23:06] facility They opened
that in December
[1:23:08] and it's a beautiful building.
[1:23:11] And they have excellent
care for people
[1:23:13] who are in crisis
mental health crisis
[1:23:16] and a very necessary part of
the Larimer County community
[1:23:21] So that's all I have Thank you.
[1:23:25] Council member , Council
member so nothing at this time.
[1:23:30] Thank you.
[1:23:31] Council Member
Berg Council Member
[1:23:34] Morris I'm going to do that.
[1:23:39] Congresswoman.
[1:23:40] I'm sorry, I was confused.
[1:23:43] So first of all,
I've got a couple
[1:23:45] of things I'd like to address.
[1:23:46] The comments read by Toni
Anderson tonight First,
[1:23:49] I asked Pat Marie
for the updates.
[1:23:52] So that we could keep the
lines of communication open
[1:23:54] This is exactly what the
Why Council liaison seat
[1:23:57] is intended to do
maintain communication
[1:24:00] between the Y and the town.
[1:24:01] It is not intended to
tell me what to think
[1:24:04] or how to vote as requested I
do have an update for tonight,
[1:24:08] which was sent to me by Britney
a while executive at my request
[1:24:12] and I do have to
ask when will this
[1:24:14] constant accusation
and misleading
[1:24:16] information in in school?
[1:24:18] I can even speak it
insinuations of wrongdoing stop
[1:24:22] simply because I or
other council members
[1:24:24] do not vote the same way as Miss
Anderson would like us to vote.
[1:24:28] Disagreement with
a council member
[1:24:29] does not mean that
there was wrongdoing.
[1:24:31] Suggesting otherwise
without the facts
[1:24:33] to support those insinuations
is neither fair nor productive.
[1:24:38] So with that, for
full transparency,
[1:24:41] this report, which I
was requested to do.
[1:24:44] And I've been trying
to get a regular date.
[1:24:49] So it will always be
the second meeting.
[1:24:51] And just for full
transparency, I
[1:24:53] asked the why, what
this information
[1:24:55] is because they're the ones
that have the information.
[1:24:58] So I'm just here to
report it So I'll
[1:25:02] go ahead and do that report.
[1:25:04] If you guys are
all okay with it.
[1:25:06] So membership just these
are some highlights
[1:25:09] and any other questions you guys
have, We can go into deeper.
[1:25:12] I just kind of highlighted some
staff membership units is 2904.
[1:25:18] I thought it was interesting
because it was there were 138
[1:25:23] individuals that
were 55 and older,
[1:25:25] 65 and older with
insurance was 1065 members
[1:25:30] in July they had 13,167 visits.
[1:25:36] In July, their swim
lesson enrollment was 154.
[1:25:40] August was 137.
[1:25:42] It could have had a little
delay or a little lag
[1:25:44] there because of the
repair on the slide.
[1:25:47] And such just in child
care, summer camp,
[1:25:51] school age kids that attended
were 822 preschool pool
[1:25:57] and things like that.
[1:25:57] If you guys want to know
any of these other numbers,
[1:26:00] summer youth sports
enrollment was 93.
[1:26:03] Health and fitness classes.

[1:26:12] There were 141 classes

[1:29:21] Councilmember Morris.
[1:29:22] Councilmember Bass About
a week and a half ago,
[1:29:27] I attended the in
our f MPO meeting.
[1:29:30] The North Front Range,
Metropolitan Planning
[1:29:32] organization meeting up
in eaton and on the agenda
[1:29:37] at this meeting was a lot
about how the wildfire smoke
[1:29:41] this year has really had a bad
impact for our ozone levels
[1:29:46] and we have not met
attainment pretty
[1:29:48] much at all So could be
some additional regulations
[1:29:53] and things coming down from
the government based on that.
[1:29:56] So we'll see what
comes from there.
[1:29:58] Also, Heather, from c Dot came
and gave a presentation, talked
[1:30:02] about the highway 34 corridor
and how important that corridor
[1:30:07] is but also how
see that will not
[1:30:10] have enough money to do
all of the stuff they
[1:30:12] want to do to that road.
[1:30:14] So the tempo and of course all
of the surrounding communities
[1:30:18] will have to band together to
help that road in the future,
[1:30:24] at least in the 2055 plan.
[1:30:26] The goal is Six lanes pretty
much all the way to Greeley
[1:30:31] We are in an idea with
cDot based on that
[1:30:36] to help keep the ride away.
[1:30:39] So helping to make sure that
as that road gets developed
[1:30:43] and part of the plans that they
showed is pretty much all of 34
[1:30:47] gets developed in the future to
make sure that we don't build
[1:30:51] too close to the road,
leaving enough room
[1:30:53] so that that
expansion to six lanes
[1:30:55] can happen without having
to take things down.
[1:31:00] So all in all, good
meeting and Yeah,
[1:31:03] look forward to the next one.
[1:31:05] Thank you.
