Call to order invocation pledge oath 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.

What was said
Machine transcription of 5m of recording, with speaker names inferred from voice matching. 80% of 35 lines carry a name. It shows what was said, not what was decided, and both the words and the names can be wrong.
Good morning.
I would like to call to order the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners ten o'clock meeting of May 21st, 2024. At this time, please silence all electronic devices. Uh please rise for the invocation and the pledge of allegiance.
O Merciful Creator, your hand is opened 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.
We pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation,
under God, and invisible, with liberty and justice for
all.
Commissioner Yeager, please approach the front of the
State of Florida Sixth Circuit Court Honorable Judge Chris Labruso.
Will you raise your right hand? Repeat after me. I do solemnly swear that I will support, protect, and defend.
Support, defend, and protect
the Constitution and Government of the United States. And of the state of Florida.
And of the state of Florida.
That I am duly qualified to hold office under the Constitution of the State.
Of the Constitution of the State.
And that I will well and faithfully perform the duties of County Commissioner Oak County. The duties of County Commissioner Pasco County On which I am now about to inter.
So
help me God.
This one came out here.
I guess I can step over here out of their family thing.
We do the one too.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, my family doesn't even come. Of course I'm not sure if I invited them. Maybe my first.
Commissioner Yeager, will you please join us at the DS?
Welcome.
Thank you.
Would you like to say something this time and
Sure. I just want to say I'm very thankful and humbled to be here to serve District 4. Um a little bit about me and just our family to public service. My dad is a retired detective homicide, also retired Navy. Um we grew up instead of before we went to theme parks, we would go see battlefields and read names on the walls. So public services in my DNA and I'm just very happy to be here
and to be able to serve everybody. I look forward to working with all of you. Nice
question.
Okay, Madam Clerk, would you please read the roll?
Yes, sir. District two, Commissioner Weightman.
Present.
District three, Commissioner Starkey. Here. District four, Commissioner Yeager. Here. District five, Commissioner Mariano?
Here.
District one, Chairman Oakley.
