[7:08] » All right. Thank you. Moving on. Uh correspondence.

[7:13] Uh you all got everything emailed and I believe the clerk was putting out hard

[7:17] copies tonight. So the only correspondence we have for this special

[7:20] meeting is uh the two requests from Director Allen and Director Haley asking

[7:27] us to have the special meeting and a copy of the letters sent by

[7:33] Representative Condan to the finance director, the Oswagawagi

[7:38] Fire Station building committee chair and attorney Keell and me regarding his

[7:43] concerns about a proposal in the sub building committee. Um, that's it.

[7:55] » No, we're not. Um, and

[8:00] moving on to public comment. Is there any public comment? Is Yes, Helen.

[8:11] I don't need to recite the rules of public comment to you, do I?

[8:17] » [laughter]

[8:38] » Hi, my name is Helen Quisnooki. Uh,

[8:45] we're here about another town building that needs a roof replacement. Again, my

[8:51] questions as well as should be yours. One, we also need to replace the town

[8:57] library roof that's leaking since December 2025,

[9:02] which went through two major snowstorm. One that dumped about 24 ines of snow,

[9:09] as well as numerous rainstorms. Some of them were heavy and tomorrow is going to

[9:13] be another heavy day. This roof is scheduled projected to be

[9:18] done in 2030, four years from now. Oh my gosh.

[9:24] Two, the town expects the library to cough up some money. How much is Goan

[9:29] Firehouse putting in? Remember they just had Fisman fireman's day which made

[9:35] money? Three, we have public works that is supposed to be checking town

[9:41] buildings so that we can nip these issues in the bud. Sounds like to me

[9:48] that his her they did not do their job seriously.

[9:54] Maybe it is time to start looking into this department. People should stop

[9:58] being responsible. four. Once again, the taxpayers is

[10:03] getting the shaft. It's about time to get away from flat

[10:08] roofs. I hope that you all look into this

[10:12] request before you all start saying yes. Thank you.

[10:20] » Thank you. Helen, did you want to give us a written copy

[10:24] or

[10:32] Sorry.

[11:07] What's that? Any other public comment?

[11:11] Any other public comment? Any other public comment? All right.

[11:16] Hearing none, we'll move on to the call. Uh first up

[11:22] to consider and act upon a recommendation from the board of finance

[11:25] to move $178,000 from designated line number 20523-57888

[11:35] uh CNR go roof replacement to appropriated line 20523-57888

[11:42] CNR go roof replacement to begin work on a capital project approved May in May

[11:49] 24. Do we have a motion? >> Second. Motion and a second. Um,

[11:54] presentation.

[11:58] » There was a question mark after that word. Sorry.

[12:01] Yeah.

[12:05] » Well, it it it seemed >> Good evening, everyone. Thank you for uh

[12:08] thank you for responding to our request to hold the special meeting. I know it's

[12:11] uh not always the most convenient thing to get everyone in, so I I appreciate

[12:15] that very much. Um, as the uh moderator stated, it was this is the continuation

[12:20] of a uh CNR capital project that was brought up uh I believe in 2024 prior to

[12:26] my arrival. Um, this uh a quick summary of it initially that was taken on the uh

[12:33] replacement of one of the three flat roof sections of the Goan firehouse. Um

[12:37] at that time uh I believe from the uh large amount of documentation that I I

[12:43] went through um provided courtesy of the the members of goan and and Tom Denbeck

[12:48] had assembled quite a uh dossier on the roof project. He had submitted a letter

[12:52] to the RTM and to I believe the board of selectman in March of 2025 requesting

[12:58] that the project be all three flat roofs in one to avoid uh tripling the setup

[13:03] and transportation fees. So that's what this is. Um the bidsp spec before you uh

[13:08] was prepared through um the town's purchasing office in partnership with

[13:13] Trimco Roofing. Uh they're the uh the town's roofing I guess subject matter

[13:18] expert uh that you would call them on call and uh this is to replace and uh

[13:24] replace the all three flat roofs in one fell shot. Um there's a number of

[13:30] specifications attached to it that was submitted as part of the backup. I am no

[13:34] roofer, but I have learned a lot about roofs through some of our expert help.

[13:38] So, I may be able to provide some backup uh and uh context, but bear with me if I

[13:46] don't know the most technical aspects of the materials and whatnot, but I uh I

[13:50] can give you a surface level uh layman's summary of it. It's a good quality

[13:54] product. It's not the It's certainly not the cheapest possible roof out there. I

[13:58] think um what what we're replacing may have been um and this isn't a uh it's a

[14:04] modified bumen roof, not the traditional builtup roof as they once were known as.

[14:09] Uh it's a uh very high quality high quality material. One of the most

[14:14] interesting things in throughout the course of this is that we haven't been

[14:17] able to find too much information about said roofs. Um, but this one will have a

[14:21] microchip buried in it that um, any of us that may or may not be here in the

[14:27] future when this roof needs to be replaced. Whoever gets the job can come

[14:30] over, scan said hidden microchip in it, and know when it was installed, what

[14:34] it's made of, how it was constructed, uh, when it got put down, and have all

[14:37] that information buried into the bedding of the roof, so we don't have to, uh,

[14:41] try and piece together the information again. So that's my

[14:47] » wow >> rant, not presentation. Just a rant.

[14:50] Presentations come with slides, but I'm open to any questions. Thank you again

[14:53] all for convening tonight. >> There you go. Thank you. Uh and I only

[14:56] use the phrase presentation because it's any less threatening than would you care

[15:00] to take a seat so we can ask you questions.

[15:03] » Thank you. So, uh any questions and comments?

[15:09] » Representative Franklin. >> I have a question.

[15:12] » Oh, Kate, you'll be second. Hi. Um, thank you for your your

[15:17] presentation. Um, I was I was curious if you know and [snorts] maybe somebody

[15:22] else here could answer when the last time the roof was replaced.

[15:29] » A resounding no. Uh, yeah, the uh information uh we that we were provided,

[15:34] we can't put an actual date on it. Um, but like I said, that's what we're

[15:39] hoping to avoid having to do by burying that RF microchip in there and making

[15:44] sure that uh hopefully our future descendants don't have to try and piece

[15:49] it together in the background. >> Yeah. And can I ask a followup?

[15:53] » Yes. >> Um, has has there been a history of a

[15:56] lot of like patchwork and repair on the roof over the last few years if if you

[16:01] know. >> Uh, yeah. I believe that that's why it

[16:03] was that's why it was brought forward uh two years ago to begin the process of re

[16:07] of replacing it. Um there's uh there's been a number of of repairs and leak

[16:13] leak repairs throughout the past couple years. Um TMCO uh from the past year

[16:18] that I've been here, TMCO has has been out there for that roof specifically and

[16:22] they and they've uh done some some repair work on it throughout. Um but

[16:27] apparently prior to me there was a you know a long string of history associated

[16:31] with the roof based on the large amount of material that um uh member Dembeck

[16:36] had um had compiled over the years. >> Right. Thank you very much.

[16:40] » Y Representative McKenzie,

[16:44] » you're up. Kate >> through you, Madam Moderator. Um, Chief,

[16:50] I see a what I might think of as a duplicative fee on each of the roofs.

[16:56] There's a $9,300 fee for setup, safety, and equipment.

[17:03] They're billing us $9,300 for setting up safety and equipment for

[17:10] each roof. If we're trying to package it all, can we get that down to one fee or

[17:16] why are we paying that each time if they're already there? Thank you.

[17:22] » Uh, if you can hear me over the phone, do you happen to have a page number that

[17:26] I can flip and refer to? >> Actually, I know the answer.

[17:30] » Looks like 14. Uh, sorry, it's going to be

[17:35] starting at 13, I believe. 14 and 15. It's the Imperial Company letterhead. It

[17:42] has the three roof breakouts. >> Yeah.

[17:45] » On individual pages. Looks like it starts

[17:50] page 12. >> Director Haley, I can explain that.

[17:55] » 12, 13, and 14. Roughly, it's roof one breakout, roof two breakout, and roof

[18:01] three breakout. And on the bottom of each one of those quotes for the three

[18:07] roofs, it says, "Add $9,300 for site setup, safety, and equipment."

[18:15] And that's on each roof. So, I'm just curious,

[18:19] » represent trying to consolidate and do it all at once. Thank you.

[18:23] » Thank you, Representative McKenzie. I'm taking pity on Director Haley because

[18:27] that is a document from before his time. Um but I do know what you are

[18:32] referencing that that was in the backup uh from the budget we were presented

[18:37] last spring which was prepared the winter before that the year before that.

[18:44] That is a much earlier quote from Imperial. There are actually buried in

[18:49] there three quotes from 2024 and 2025 and then 2026. the one you're looking

[18:55] at, the 2025 with the 9300. Um,

[19:00] that is not the quote that was approved. And actually, I I did the math on that

[19:05] and they were only in the end on that quote going to charge us one single

[19:09] $9,300 fee back then, >> but it's very good.

[19:15] » It's somewhat moot at this point because now we have a different bid.

[19:20] » All right. I appreciate that, madam moderator, and thank you for the

[19:23] clarification. >> Thank you for reading all the backup to

[19:26] the end. >> You're welcome.

[19:31] » I app I applaud that greatly. Thank you, Sue, because moderator Driscoll because

[19:36] I uh I quickly became very confused and then if you look it for everyone's

[19:40] context, the the section that they're talking about was from then the CNR was

[19:44] initially brought up dated at the very top uh 116 2025. So I believe that's

[19:49] what they were referring to. Avoid the three setup fees. Um the one you should

[19:53] be or the one that is in question tonight before you is uh my

[19:58] correspondence 72326. Thank you.

[20:01] » Yeah, that was it. That is the problem. But it

[20:05] does show the history of just >> Yeah.

[20:07] » how many times this has been bumped around. All right,

[20:13] Representative Childs. through you madam moderator. Um so I

[20:19] found hi I found um in the 2425 fiscal year request um for a capital project um

[20:26] it was from um the director before you he had mentioned in his description that

[20:33] um not only the twothirds of the flat roofing but onethird of the pitched roof

[20:38] needed to be replaced. Did you when you were looking through kind of the records

[20:42] to see what might have been done, did you see anything about the pitched roof

[20:46] being addressed? >> Uh, no. The I also spoke to TMCO as well

[20:51] uh when they rebid this and and when they were out to create uh that package

[20:56] initially. Yeah. >> Um no, there was never anything included

[20:59] in any of the initial scopes about the pitched roof.

[21:02] » Okay. Um, I spoke to I spoke to the luckily the the the person who wrote

[21:07] this one that was just quoted referred to from 2024 still still there, still

[21:11] employed, still our um uh representative. Uh, I spoke to him uh

[21:17] over the weekend again just to confirm that and and so far no one has been able

[21:21] to uh identify a solid answer on how old the uh the roof the pitched roof portion

[21:26] is. Okay. But um he's been out to the site twice uh to write this initially

[21:31] and then to update it um with a little bit better materials and things the

[21:35] second time around. Um and he's he strongly believes that that because

[21:40] there's a sloped uh portion on the the pitched roof, it's a it's a hip and

[21:44] sloped roof that there there's some life still left in the shingle roof right

[21:48] now. Um I to quote the technical assessment that he gave me over the

[21:53] phone. uh it has not experienced blowoff or tear out or cracking at this point um

[21:58] and uh feels that there's there's um life left in the shingled portion, but

[22:03] no, so far no one has been able to >> find any paperwork that says how old

[22:07] that is. >> Excellent. Thank you.

[22:13] » Any other questions for Representative Bennett?

[22:17] » Through you, Madam Moderator. Um I have a quick question. Um thanks for sharing

[22:20] the info first on the tracking chip. I feel like that is something that's uh

[22:24] pretty interesting to know that that can happen. It reminds me of like when you

[22:27] put it in your dog and they scan the dog to find out where it goes. It's it's

[22:30] amazing how much technology can really impact and make our lives easier.

[22:34] Hopefully it works by [laughter] the time the room is done. Um when it comes

[22:37] to this new material that they're um that they're per that they're get

[22:41] telling us to use instead of the like you said the cheapest material. Do you

[22:44] have any idea on the longet like how many years it is supposed to last? Uh

[22:49] yeah, the it comes with your, you know, your standard commercial 20-year. I

[22:54] shouldn't say standard because some of the other work roof work that may have

[22:56] gotten done in the past may not have come with the standard warranty. Uh but

[23:00] it would come with what's considered a uh indust industry industry standard

[23:03] 20-year warranty. Um uh the installer themselves, bumperto bumper, two years.

[23:10] Uh, and TMCO being that that we work with them, uh, TMCO is a national

[23:14] roofing supplier, uh, and they have a number of contractors that are

[23:17] installers for them. But they, um, they would come out prior to that two-year

[23:21] bumper-to-bumper, if you will, expiring, and do an assessment on our behalf to

[23:25] make sure that that the installation was done properly, uh, was all done up to

[23:28] spec, and then they TMCO would provide a number of ongoing, um, ongoing

[23:34] assessments throughout. uh you know, kind of like if you want the warranty on

[23:37] your Honda to keep up, you got to do the oil changes and air filters when Honda

[23:40] tells you. Um they would come out and do those ongoing inspections for us. And um

[23:45] all all things all things kosher would go through um at 20 years, we'd be able

[23:50] to refresh the roof instead instead of replace it. They'd be able to strip the

[23:54] top layer off, reskin it. This is a two- layer roof. You have a heavy duty base

[23:58] layer uh and then a product that's called Endura 100. Um it's not the

[24:02] Cadillac top end, but it's not It's not the stuff that you have to tear off and

[24:06] throw away. So, you'd be able to redeck the roof for another another 20 years of

[24:10] service at the end of the initial 20 years

[24:13] » for much less than what we have to do to put it together.

[24:15] » Correct. It becomes what they refer to as a roof restoration at that point. Um,

[24:19] by by putting in the the two-layer system, you're able to protect. They're

[24:22] going to replace any of the wet insulation that's under there right now.

[24:25] Tear that off, replace all the anything that's compromised right now. Um, but

[24:31] uh, you know, nothing is obviously bulletproof. uh you know, hurricane

[24:34] damage, things like that that may or may not be end up being, you know, taking

[24:37] the road of an insurance type thing. But, uh,

[24:41] all things included and all things by design would be able to get a 20-year

[24:44] service life out of it and then be restored for another 20 year service

[24:48] life after this. And then at that point, you re remove, you know, down to the

[24:52] deck and replace the roof system as a whole.

[24:56] » To the best of my knowledge, based off of

[24:59] » Yeah. And who knows what products are going to be available in 20 years. It

[25:02] could be a 40-year roof at that point. Um, when it comes to those maintenance

[25:05] items that you just discussed, is that something that's included in the price

[25:07] that's here or is that something that we would have to come up with?

[25:10] » It's included as part of the package. >> Oh, okay.

[25:12] » That makes me feel better. All right. Thank you so much.

[25:14] » Thank you. >> Okay. Any other questions?

[25:19] » Oh, Representative Elbow. >> Hello. I did have a quick question. I

[25:25] work in a building that has flat roofs as well. Birds are a big concern because

[25:31] love to drop things and then peck. Causes a lot of leaks and

[25:38] birds like to peck at the roots and cause of course going through and

[25:43] penetrates through and cause a lot of leaks. Um is there going to be anything

[25:47] put up to deter birds perhaps? So that can help deter

[25:54] early issues maybe. >> Hasn't come up. Uh,

[25:59] » just a little POA, you know, that might be something interesting. So,

[26:05] » I would uh I I I would look into one of those plastic owls.

[26:09] » I'd even provide it myself if it if it keeps the roof to get intact. I would

[26:13] look into it. But yeah, I mean >> I I'll I honestly I will I I'll call

[26:18] TMCO and ask, you know, is bird deterrent, you know, something in the

[26:22] roofing industry. >> It sounds funny, but

[26:24] » No, I listen especially being near the shore. I mean, I can only imagine that

[26:27] the occasional clam gets dropped >> uh dropped and it misses the parking lot

[26:31] and hits the roof. So, I totally understand it.

[26:34] » Thank you. >> Yep.

[26:37] » All right. Any other questions? Any other

[26:43] uh and Representative Valencu? Sorry,

[26:46] Steve. I saw him first. You're next. uh through you madam or under uh Chris I

[26:51] just want to thank you for your work so far as a director of fire services uh

[26:57] for many years the the issues of the needs of the various other four

[27:02] firehouses of ostaging have [clears throat] needed attention and I

[27:07] think you promised to me when you first got hired that you would address these

[27:11] issues of the other firehouses and you have done so adimately so far. I just

[27:16] want to thank you for uh really doing a great job uh taking care of our other

[27:23] firehouses. Uh and that's it. Thank you.

[27:28] » I appreciate that. Thank you. >> Thank you, Representative Bizade.

[27:32] » Who owns the firehouse?

[27:36] » Who holds title to the firehouse? Is it goant like a private company like Algaji

[27:42] was or does the town of Waterford own it? uh private association.

[27:47] » Okay. The town is obligated to put a roof on this private property.

[27:54] » Uh the the building the building maintenance services are are

[27:58] historically u part of a ongoing uh agreement that was agreements that were

[28:04] signed with each individual association. Uh I believe in the 70s.

[28:08] have to defer to someone that 1974 um and you that were signed in

[28:16] partnership um to protect both both parties in in uh both parties interests

[28:21] in the properties I believe to avoid them uh becoming subject to mortgage for

[28:26] improvement that it was if um that the town would would support building

[28:31] building upkeep and building repairs uh to avoid the associations having I guess

[28:35] put them under mortgage and at that time the uh to the best of my understanding

[28:39] then at that time the town would lose its its interest in a um you know a

[28:44] public safety infrastructure asset. So I believe that's how those agreements were

[28:48] initially reached but I would I'm I'm waiting into waters that are long before

[28:52] my time here uh just taking off the surface level.

[28:57] » Will the town buy that property like they did Owagi you think down the road?

[29:06] I >> or it will it always be private? And if

[29:09] it is private, do they make any kind of contribution to this expense of putting

[29:14] a roof on it or any other expensive HVAC, doors, whatever?

[29:20] » Uh it's it's it's nothing that I've explored. Um but historically, I believe

[29:27] the agreements were, you know, everything was through funded through

[29:30] the town to the best of my knowledge that I've put together. Um,

[29:34] [clears throat] uh, so I I I wouldn't I wouldn't know. I'd be I wouldn't want to

[29:38] speak out of turn on something that I don't know about what had gone on in the

[29:41] past, but I believe that >> understand

[29:43] » everything has gone through uh through town funds.

[29:46] » I'm totally in favor of putting a roof on a firehouse to protect the apparatus

[29:51] and and the investment, but I'm not a big fan of putting a roof on my

[29:55] neighbor's house, if you follow me. So, someday we're going to own it. as

[30:01] part of the investment of buying the property. Um,

[30:05] just curious. I mean, the alagotchi was private for my whole life and now the

[30:11] town owns it and big things are happening there. I didn't know if there

[30:14] was plans for that down the road as well. Um, I I would say, you know, in

[30:18] the in the uh in the broader context, I if if that was a case of, you know, we

[30:23] would definitely want to be approving the roof either way, like you said, to

[30:26] protect your investment. Um, if if that's something that the town wishes to

[30:30] pursue, uh, far beyond my purview right now is today. Um, but I

[30:38] agree with you that that putting the roof on would be a sound investment for

[30:41] the future. The [clears throat] other concern I have, and it was addressed a

[30:43] little bit earlier, was um the the shingled part of the roof,

[30:49] if it only has x amount of years, and you said nobody can really come up with,

[30:54] should it be all done at one time? Because if they're going to replace that

[30:58] down the road, the flat roof's going to take a beating with the debris that they

[31:02] pull off. I would assume they're going to strip it and replace plywood or

[31:05] whatever needs to be done. Um,

[31:08] » how much more, if this company even does that type of

[31:12] roofing, how much more would it cost just to do it all and let it be done for

[31:16] a number of years? >> One of the uh one of the challenges is

[31:20] that the project was already established. So, I just followed the the

[31:23] existing scope so we didn't have to expand the scope out again and bring

[31:27] this back um you know further years down the road. And and with that uh one of

[31:32] the reasons that the next item is the bid wa is the uh not the bid waiver the

[31:35] uh the waiting period the 15-day waiting

[31:39] period to waiver it is to try to get moving before the winter so we're not

[31:42] we're not subject to another winter of >> it's all good all good what everything

[31:46] you're doing is good it's just u you know I'm in that field where do you just

[31:52] put a band-aid on whatever is there or should it be top down selling just

[31:57] replace it all and be done with it? How much more would it cost? It's not going

[32:02] to get any cheaper down the road. And if we're spending all

[32:07] this money on a flat roof with this fancy

[32:10] migraine chip thing, we certainly don't want to damage it without having to

[32:15] replace 5 10 years down the road. You know, it I'm just thinking out loud.

[32:22] » Um [clears throat] I I I had to advance the uh the scope of the project that

[32:27] existed. Um, like I said, we we did touch base and they said that that they

[32:31] see life left in that. Um, and uh, at this time he said he he couldn't give an

[32:38] accurate recommendation on replacing it other than that that he believes that

[32:41] there's life left in the aphalt shingles. Um, no one, like I said, no

[32:45] one has been able to identify the current age of it, but um, I think it is

[32:51] it is advisable to try and get at least all three of the flats done uh, prior to

[32:55] another winter. and um and then explore that uh in the next coming five-year

[33:02] capital requests. Normally, I believe we're putting out a five-year window for

[33:06] capital requests. So, to be able to find room in there to continue that that

[33:10] portion of it if so uh if so possible so we don't wait until something is failed

[33:16] and leaking. We can try and get ahead of it and get it on the radar at least now

[33:19] and start looking at it while we have some time to plan out and things. and

[33:22] hopefully this is um one of the last ones that we're chasing uh late. So I I

[33:27] I totally hear and understand your sentiments on on everything you stated.

[33:31] Um and I think that we're we're attempting to become, you know, to take

[33:34] a more responsible approach and a little bit more forward-looking approach to all

[33:38] these things. Um so I I totally agree with with every one of your sentiments

[33:42] on it. So >> thank you for your time.

[33:45] » Thank you. >> Appreciate you.

[33:46] » Thank you. Thank you. Was that any other questions?

[33:52] Representative Condan. >> Uh through you, Madam Modiator.

[33:57] Uh Chris had did you talk to uh I'm just

[34:01] looking at the pictures is the first time I'm seeing the plans. Did you talk

[34:04] to uh HVAC Tech to get a price to move those uh units on the roof?

[34:11] Is that included? I see in their their uh construction notes that it's up to us

[34:16] to uh disconnect and reconnect. Um which obviously we would want to approve this,

[34:22] but I don't want your budget to take a ding. I know this project predates you,

[34:25] so if you had to come back for more money at a later date, I just didn't

[34:29] know if this was uh I don't see any evidence that it was included. Well, one

[34:33] of the nice things is that that another um

[34:37] another step forward we took on the buildings this year was to um work to

[34:42] get preventative maintenance contracts uh on various different services that

[34:46] didn't exist before. Uh one of those is that we were able to partner with MCOR

[34:50] who already has uh you know a bulk of or is working towards a bulk of the

[34:54] projects um and the HVAC systems in town. Uh so we signed on an agreement um

[35:00] with them to provide dual services uh spring and fall turns and turnoffs and

[35:05] pre or post uh heating and cooling seasons. So in the event we had to

[35:09] relocate or or disconnect something or or you know if we had to drain a system

[35:13] to move something around based on what TMCO needs to do for penetrations. Um

[35:17] you know right now we don't know is there failed insulation around some of

[35:20] those things that might have to we have to redeck a section or whatnot. Luckily,

[35:24] we we now have MCORE at our disposal on call uh signed on a on a service

[35:28] agreement um for all the stations uh for everywhere now. So, every every station

[35:34] will be getting not only that preventative maintenance, but it it

[35:36] gives us a little bit more of um it's kind of like if you have a service

[35:40] agreement with your oil guy, right? >> You get kind of a little bit more

[35:43] preferential treatment when you need them. So luckily we have them at our

[35:46] disposal in the event that we have to significantly relocate something or or

[35:50] maybe drain the you know the refrigerant out of a system or something to move it.

[35:53] » Yeah, that was my question because this just says that they have to lift these

[35:56] at a minimum 8 inches of clearance to a roof underneath it. But the the cost is

[36:02] to us not not to but as long as we have somebody

[36:06] » Yeah. I mean there there' obviously be you know a cost but it wouldn't have to

[36:10] be a uh you know a furtherance of a capital project.

[36:15] I say that quickly. I knock as quickly as I can, but hopefully it would just be

[36:19] uh there's enough slack in the line sets to be able to lift it. But if they had

[36:21] to redeck a portion of it under something like that, I'm sure MCOR would

[36:25] uh would have the tools and people to do it.

[36:28] » Perfect. Thank you. >> Thank you.

[36:32] » Okay. Any other questions? Any other questions?

[36:39] Any other questions? All right, hearing them. I think we're ready for a vote.
