Call to order, pledge allegiance, roll call
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Good morning everybody. I'd like to call to order the hybrid virtual Pasco County Board of County Commissioners of October 6, 2020. I'd like to remind everybody please silence all electronic devices and mute your microphones at this time. If we could please rise for the vacation in Plaza, which would be complex.
O merciful Creator, your hand is open wide to satisfy the needs of every living creature. Make us thankful for your loving providence, and grant that we, remembering the account that we must one day give, may be faithful stewards of your good gifts. Amen.
