What was said

53:12 Ensuring we have the depth needed for the future. Thanks, and with that, back to you, Mike. >> Thanks so much, Scott. I'm a political science guy, not good with numbers, so I'm glad Scott came to help me out here today. I just want to add a couple more financial highlights, and particularly from financial goal three. Developing a rolling 20 year comprehensive scheduled maintenance plan to maximize operational capacity, efficiency, and life expectancy of port assets. Our facilities team developed a compliance plan for the new State Clean Buildings Act. We had zero port rail infrastructure failures resulting in derailments. We achieved and strengthened dual rail access, making us more competitive for our existing customers and for new business. And for the eighth year in a row, we were 100% compliance with our annual US Coast Guard audit. We established a monitoring plan for PFAS. I don't know if I can say the actual name.

54:09 It's Perchloride Alkal Substances. And the security team received a port security grant for program through FEMA to replace 106 security cameras. Port leadership continued, next slide please, in our organizational goals. Port leadership continued strong succession planning practices in the midst of an increasing number of retirements. We even spoke on best practices in this area for ports nationally facing the same challenge. We upgraded our training programs across a variety of departments and implemented KPA Flex. Improving our HR and IT training offerings even further. We digitized a massive amount of records. And all of this was accomplished during a major renovation of our administrative offices. Big shout out to Don Egbert for leading us through that massive undertaking and to getting us to this beautiful and functional space that we now get to enjoy. Next slide.

55:05 A good strategic plan, and I would argue that we have a great one, doesn't simply stop. It evolves as major initiatives are completed and as we adapt to a rapidly changing context in which we carry out our mission. Over the next several months, we will work with you as we scope out the next step in our strategic planning journey. This refresh will require us to reflect on what we've accomplished, what still needs to be done, what remains top priorities at the port, and what new challenges we must address in order to carry out our mission here at the port. Under the leadership of CEO Marler, and with your guidance, we will refresh and energize a transparent plan.
