Public comment on future agenda items
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.

Ron Wardolf?
State your name and address for the clerk.
Yeah. Ron Waldorf. Uh [address removed]. Okay. Uh the reason I'm here today is because my son goes to the school, Hudson High School, where the child got killed on kitten uh drive or avenue. uh a little while ago. And um I think it's too little too late if you spoke to the parents of that child. uh I think you would find that what you are doing
now is a couple years too late. based on the chance that my wife has with the community groups. Uh I also think they need to do more over there. I think they need crossing guards, even though they're high school students. You need crossing guards. The we drive down this road all the time. We're doing five miles over the speed limit and here comes this guy in his pickup truck passing on a double yellow line. I think in addition to what they've done, they need to notify the Pasco Sheriff.
to hide it on the street and ticket some of these guys that are speeding. Okay, that's Uh what I'd like to see done. We also live off of East Road. And there's a uh uh East Road dead ends at uh Denton Avenue. There's only a stop sign for Uh East. Uh I'm wondering if the board and the people in this room are waiting for somebody to get killed on Denton Avenue. and East
Road like they did at the high school. Uh I was in here about a year and a half ago speaking about this. They sent me an email. Somebody took me out and introduced me to somebody. Nothing ever happens. So I'm just wondering, are you people waiting for somebody to get killed on Denton and East?
Anybody have anything to say about that? We don't talk back and forth. Okay, all right, I didn't know that. Uh so I think that a I I've been I'm a C DL truck driver. I know uh track one more minute.
uh I spoke to somebody on the board and they said that well, it may be a safety issue, maybe it'll cause more accidents than it'll
Not not sh not so. based on forty nine years of CDL driving, by the way, without an accident. How many people in Pasco County
A commercial vehicle for forty nine years without an accident. There isn't any. I'm the only one. Um So I'd like for somebody to Start again and see if we can get a stop sign. We also need a speed bump. Uh on we live on the dead end curve of East Road. We need a speed bump. We got crotch rockets and people flying around that corner. It's just a matter of time before but somebody T-bones myself or my wife on the driver's door and somebody gets killed. So if
somebody can help me with that, I'd appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thank you for your kindness.
Does anyone else in the audience wish to speak at this time?
See no one
Mr. Chairman
Mariano. Okay. At this time I will uh close public comment and We will move on to uh we're going here.
