00:05:36.620 --> 00:05:38.380 And we'll go into concluding items. 00:05:38.380 --> 00:05:42.580 Does any board member wish to say something to the public or have something put on a future 00:05:42.580 --> 00:05:45.140 agenda? 00:05:45.140 --> 00:05:46.140 You already did that. 00:05:46.140 --> 00:05:47.140 Yeah. 00:05:47.140 --> 00:05:48.140 But that's okay. 00:05:48.140 --> 00:05:49.140 You can do it in either place. 00:05:49.140 --> 00:05:50.140 All right. 00:05:50.140 --> 00:05:52.140 Seeing none, you move for? 00:05:52.140 --> 00:05:53.140 Adjournment. 00:05:53.140 --> 00:05:54.140 Adjournment. 00:05:54.140 --> 00:05:55.140 Okay. 00:05:55.140 --> 00:05:57.140 We have item number 109, and we are adjourned. 00:05:57.140 --> 00:05:58.140 See? 00:05:58.140 --> 00:05:59.140 I was wrong. 00:05:59.140 --> 00:06:00.140 See? 00:06:00.140 --> 00:06:00.140 We could have done this without you.
