1:30:12session. We went and closed session under four items. So the first one was the Chief Administrative
1:30:18Officer 2025 year end performance review and council did give direction on that matter.
1:30:27And the other one, I'll save the other one to the end there, but the other one was an expression

1:30:40And the other one was affordable housing property acquisition. We also gave direction on that matter
