[2:15:38] intricate building. >> Okay.

[2:15:40] » So, >> okay. No,

[2:15:42] » that's what that was based off just the one. I was just curious because it

[2:15:48] inspection or fire hall or what I wasn't sure

[2:15:51] » so we we bill out accordingly so we will recoup all that money back.

[2:16:13] bucks for um computer management upgrades whatever central

[2:16:19] square Canada software 2 5200 IT supportJS and 11,500 PSD citywide ink um

[2:16:28] is this is this kind of the norm like these are these are all um verified

[2:16:34] necessities or just the cost of doing business when it comes to computers.

[2:16:39] » Yes. The only one that isn't so citywide is uh one of our annual costs and it

[2:16:45] provides us with training documents and work orders.

[2:16:48] » Yes. >> Um so that's how we work orders. Um

[2:16:52] » the one that isn't every year will be that one you mentioned, Central Square.

[2:16:57] So we've had we've been having an issue with a VAM. nuts vom and uh some behind

[2:17:04] the scenes work where we're sending out e billills and things like that they

[2:17:07] used to take a little bit of time are now taking hours to actually produce so

[2:17:11] we had to spend this extra money for them to work techwise in the background

[2:17:16] to help solve that issue so that'll be a one-off bill that we hopefully won't see

[2:17:20] for years >> yeah no that's the only deal I'm just

[2:17:24] » confirming that these are all things that I mean are unavoidable or

[2:17:28] » or legitimate expenses because it just seems like the cost of

[2:17:32] » computers throughout the year definitely adds up like

[2:17:35] » you know the upgrades software of course >> the hardware the whole 9 yard thank you

[2:17:43] » it good

[2:17:47] yep good >> yeah I'm good

[2:17:55] West >> um are we just kind of fronting

[2:17:59] We're the holding account for the rest of the west. So in'll go through that,

[2:18:03] » right? >> That's good. And then

[2:18:09] aquafer

[2:18:12] uh group of companies for repairs and maintenance on the rink.

[2:18:19] » That was a Ben thing. I don't know specifically.

[2:18:24] » 3750. Just wondering if that's just a kind of

[2:18:28] a oneoff thing. >> Oh, okay. Um, it is a one-off thing. It

[2:18:33] is something that um it is the water. It's for the curly drink and Aqua Bird.

[2:18:41] They have a water fountain that hasn't been working for quite a long time.

[2:18:44] » Oh, that. >> So, this is the replacement of of that

[2:18:47] water. Um, so it's where you can actually put a bottle in.

[2:18:51] » So, it was the old school one where you push

[2:18:53] » Okay. >> And you go down. It hasn't worked for a

[2:18:55] long time. This is the replacement to the new modern style and we'll have our
