   1:04:45The eleven o'clock's R forty five.

   1:04:53Right on time, it was amazing here today. Our clock's not working, but

   Ari Javeda

   1:05:00Good morning commission commissioners. Can everybody hear me all right?

   1:05:05Yes.

   1:05:06Well my name is Ari Javeda and it's my pleasure to be here to recognize uh Pasco County today for your commitment to Commission Manager form of government. And I'm here on behalf of FCCMA which stands for for the City and County Management Association. And the award being presented today is actually by ICMA, which stands for International County. And City Management Association. It's my distinct privilege to recognize you for your support and

   1:05:36your commitment to actually providing guidance and support to your county manager. And I also would like to recognize your county manager for the exceptional service that he has provided to the community. I also want to share a quick fact. Back in 2009 there was a poll conducted to find out how many folks or citizens knew about the role of government leaders in shaping your communities and it was found that only 5% of

   1:06:06the citizens in the communities knew what that meant. So in 2015, FCCMA decided to to take this baton and raise awareness about different communities and different counties about what it means to actually have a professional county manager and what what he or she does for the local community. So I guess in a nutshell what I wanted to highlight is that the reason for having a professional county manager is to basically separate the legislative duties from

   1:06:36your administration oversight. Again my privilege and honor here to pre to be presenting you with this fifty year anniversary for the commissioner manager form of government. So with your permission I would like to present this to the Chair and the Commissioners and the County Manager. And I would ask everybody if you can recognize them, maybe give them a round of applause for the Yeah, it's kind of

   1:07:01a good one.

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:07:05Okay. Thank you. Uh we're gonna go down, anyone wanna speak? Question

   Jack Mariano

   1:07:10Mariano? Yeah, I can ask a question. So this past year we had a uh legislation ramifications from the previous year's bill about live local. I'm wondering what type of um role you guys took and how did you did you look at the issue at all?

   Ari Javeda

   1:07:23I can actually get that information over to our appropriate uh personnel who deals with that stuff and they can be in touch with you. That's not under my purview. I actually am part of the professional management matters committee. There's a separate legislative committee that deals with those things and I'll be happy to pro I guess uh have a follow up with that.

   Jack Mariano

   1:07:43I I recommend you make it a big issue for yourselves to study it because with a group like yours to lead the way city and county together. Um we started fighting the battle pretty much alone. A lot of others joined in, including cities. And I think the more support coming up the better because we still don't know what their full effect's gonna be this year, but we know we're gonna have to be ready for next year.

   Ari Javeda

   1:08:07Sure. Thank you.

   Ron OakleyChair
