Excuse. Now is the time for public comment. Citizens are given the opportunity to comment on any current or future agenda item coming before the board and on any other business under the board's purview. Today's public comment will be handled as followed. First, we'll take public comment from those who are here in person. Then we will take a public comment from those who are pre-registered for WebEx Link and currently on Cube. We request when you address the board, comments are not directed personally at any commissioner or team member, but rather directed at the issues. This provides
mutual respect between the board members and the public. After stating your name and address for the clerk, a three minute timer will be activated. After two minutes, a single beep will indicate you have one minute left. When your time is up, two beeps will sound and you should close your comments. WebEx participants will be disconnected automatically when their time is up. Madam Clerk, do we have anyone signed up for public comment?
Yes, uh Mr. Chairman we do. We have um a couple of of individuals here. I will read out the first three names so you know your lineup. It is um Tom Bogley uh Boglino, Steve Barber, followed by Daryl Henderson
It's either Tom or Thumb Bog Boglino. Tom, okay. If you go ahead and step to the podium, uh state your name and address for the record and then you can begin.
Hello, my name is Tom. Tom Bogolino. You did that very well. My address is [address removed].
Wonderful, thank you.
I am here to express gratitude. I know that's probably surprising. But here we go. A few years ago I worked with uh Jack Murano's secretary. Sonia to um Help uh put some dumpsters back where they belong in my neighborhood. They were uh out in the right of way and they cause a lot of problems. People ride horses there, the kids walk home to school, we don't have street lights, there's no reflectors on them. You name it. Um we gave um the garbage companies time to do self-compliance. 'Cause
we didn't I didn't want to see uh property owners ticketed. It wasn't their fault. Um fortunately they didn't want anything to do with it. They wouldn't help us. So after about nine months of waiting, we uh did a little sweep, code enforcement did a sweep. took care of all the dumpsters. I then met with um Abe um Carmac at Code Enforcement and he came and visited with me to see how we're gonna make this stick. He decided he's going to visit all the garbage companies and educate the drivers on how and where and why.
And now This is what happens. When there is a violation Somebody calls it in, like me. and uh the officer comes out, recognizes it, calls at the garbage company, uh talks to the right person and the pale is moved within a day. the citizen, the property owner is never even affected. And that's a good thing. So I thank you all for Mm leading it to that conclusion. It's great. Uh the neighborhood like Shady Hills, it's zoned AR1. We raise animals
and do crops, if you can imagine yourself with a couple of acres. What would you do with it? Some of the things I've seen, however. I wouldn't I wouldn't do with it. I've seen uh I've seen pro parcels without a single blade of grass. Soil blackish gray. It's it's unfarmable, what do we call it? Non arable I've seen properties littered with metal. doing no good to the environment. Any any contamination you do to
the land Your land, you could affect our land. Yes, we all live and uh uh and have well water. So if you contaminate your land, you contaminate my land. What I do doesn't come with uh its share of controversy. I've written about a thousand complaints in the past decade. It's a big number, but in ten years I I do it just to I do just a few a year, a few times a year just to be easy
on the um services. of Pasco County and not to cause too too much trouble, but There's some f there there's some serious um negative talk about me. online, so much so the police department's been notified and a couple of deputies watch all the Shady Hills websites now. Um If you're looking to do see just how I I respond, you should call and talk to the guys at Code Enforcement. I keep in contact with them all the time. Thank you. Thank
you so much for your time and God bless.
Thank you. Thank you. Steve Barber, followed by Daryl Henderson.
Steve Harvard, uh [address removed]. Uh it's a new development right across from Conerton and uh
I don't really know how it works down here in Florida. I'm from New Jersey. But uh this development was approved, I guess, with one access or the I guess it would be the northern entrance through Causeway Boulevard. And uh
I guess the people with the money own the southern entrance. I guess the Bexleys. And uh it's it's It's not a major issue, but it kinda is. 'Cause everything you do is south of that development. All the schools Uh all the grocery stores. Shopping. And uh Causeway Boulevard is terrible. Three ninety degree turns, through a swamp. Um Totally flooded out during the hurricane. I mean if you're gonna touch wetlands and disrupt
things, why not at least do it the right way? Maybe build it four foot higher. I don't know. W I don't know why we went down. It's kinda goofy. But uh The main the main point here is Looking for help, trying to get the southern gate. Access open to the public.
I think I spoke to Ms. Yeager and Just looking for some help on the on that matter. Um It just doesn't make sense. You order your uh Starbucks, DoorDash, your pizza for your kids. Gets there an hour and twenty minutes later 'cause the driver goes there, 'cause the AI and Google Maps and the iPhone say, Hey, go to the go this way, 'cause it makes sense, 'cause man's Thought process and power and money didn't go in into the planning of your route. So then they have to go back out the causeway.
Forty one's a disaster. Twenty three minutes later An hour total, your food gets there, it's cold, your kids are happy. For a miserable life. Just trying to help the the citizens here over at Deerbrook. Um there are only like a hundred houses built now. I think four hundred are going in. Somebody's gonna have to look at The roads.
I mean Land O' Lakes High School is right out front. Uh I talked to a lot of the neighbors there. And We can't get busing the Land O' Lakes High School. So the gate is closed, we're not supposed to use the south entrance, which is makes way more sense. Bexley is wider, Wisteria is wider. The only way for the kids to walk the school is through Causeway Boulevard, which is white line the white line, swamp the swamp. There's no sidewalks. There's no lighting provided by the Yeah
that's another thing. If you want a street like you, the the citizen has to pay for it or buy it. It doesn't make sense either. I don't know how that works. So there's like no way for the kids to get to school, to walk to school. Safely. So I'm sure all you would want all your kids to walk to school safely, not through a swamp where, you know, tractors and trailer comes through 'cause they're building the development. They get pushed off the road, they come home, shoes are dirty, socks are dirty, it's just Doesn't make sense. So just looking for the southern gate to get open. The Bay, the Wisteria, the Bayonet Point. It
just makes so much more sense for everybody. If there's any help, I appreciate it.
Uh he'll talk with you about it. And David, I I did get some calls on this in the past month or so. So he's not he's not the only one talking about it. So if you take a look at it, appreciate it. Thank you.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you. Thank you for your service.
Okay, thank you. Thank you for your service. I tried to get everybody to call in, but we didn't know we had to register by four o'clock. So I mean there's other residents that wanted to call in but yeah, it's first time Yeah. know, trying to be a part of everything.
Do
you
want to use the county commissioner's email address? You can get us all. You'll we'll all know the y letters came in so that it's better information that you can direct it to Commissioner Yeager Yeager words are district and all, so thank you. But no we
are working on it.
Thank you.

Thanks to generous grant from Baycare, this initiative has helped prevent homelessness, Reduce emergency room visits. and lower overdose rates by connecting over eighty percent of participants to long-term recovery programs and housing solutions. With funding from the Pasco County Opioid Abatement Board of The Outfield quietly opened its doors on February 17th, 2025, and

Darby T followed by Pastor Troy Peterson followed by Linda
T there.
Hello.
Hi, it's Darby Trofe. Trofe. Um it's hard to explain. Um to pronounce. I'm off [address removed]. Um My family and I have a registered game bird farm off Tanglewood called Bontro Funny Farm. We moved here from Oldsmar in 2024. I'm gonna explain what we do and why I'm here. Um we feed everything organic. We use regenerative and sustainable farming practices. We don't use harmful
chemicals. Initially, I called many county offices to find out if Tanglewood could be rezoned agro tourism. I was told we were zoned AR. So we did a lot. Um We are because we're a game game bird farm, it means that we breed birds like quail and pheasant, and of course we plan to breed chickens, which all requires roosters. We are also NPIP, which means the county comes and blood tests our birds for disease annually. We also have a limited poultry license,
which means that I can legally butcher birds and sell them eat and eggs. Um we have made efforts to follow every rule. We provide eggs to our neighbors in this shortage and birds because there's no chickens anywhere. We've linked arms around our community since we've just been here since June. Um we partnered with Florida Farm Bureau and we registered as a wildlife habitat. My mom owns a nonprofit. We partnered to de um Her
her nonprofit is designed to teach children life skills. We also teach families to raise their own birds. In Hurricane Milton, it flooded most of our backyard and we had to move where our birds were. We moved them from the right side of our property to the left. It took us months to pump out all the water, lots of damage, lots of equipment. We have only one neighboring home and it was vacant at the time. And we had to move all our birds to that left side. There was nobody living
there. There's a wildlife pro wetla wetland behind us, and then on the other side is a driveway up to an elementary school. We have nobody anywhere else. I'll get to the point quickly. Uh we resi we received a citation for our rooster and we found out we were uh zoned ER. Up until now we had no No clue we were breaking any rules. Our property is 2.8 acres. Since Sunday we found out about our citation we moved the birds
completely 1.5 acres away from the complaining neighbor. Um, we don't have any HOAs, there's loud there's horses in our neighborhood, there's gunshots, there's loud barking at night from other dogs, our neighbors have big parties, we have roosters roaming the neighborhood. Um we've gone to really far extents to try to follow all the rules and hoping that moving the roosters all the way across the the area so that they're not even close to the neighbor. It was a hundred feet before. Now it's a 1.5
acres from him. So I'm just hoping we can find a way that we can keep our registers and all the work that we've put into it. Thank you so much for
Alright, I think Denise Sanderson's here.
Pastor Troy Peterson, followed by Linda T. Armour, followed by Sarah Gonzalez.
Good morning. I do have a flyer for y'all.
Motion to receive. Second.
All in favor say
aye. Aye.
Good morning. Uh Troy Peterson, [address removed]. Um What what you're receiving there is our resurrection egg hunt in the city of Port Ritchie. Uh we do that with the with the city of Port Ritchie, the fire department and the police department every every year. Uh invite your families. I know the kids always enjoy climbing on the fire trucks and in the police cars and
then Of course, sharing the true reason. for the season. Um I also want to mention coming up uh like every year, uh May first. We do have the National Day of Prayer coming up. And I really appreciate what the county has done the last quite a few years with setting up all the chairs and and stuff like that. It's always a a great time of fellowship and worship together as we honor the King of Kings and
Lord of Lords. Uh we'll get flyers to you on that. Of course the resolution coming up as well, making uh May first uh National Day of Prayer here in Pasco County. Um And on that topic, um I I don't know what I need to do or how I need to do it. I've met with a few you commissioners And I would like to put to a vote Um During that resolution That either somebody cares, Pasco
Hernando Lee, not a prayer that was written by a previous attorney, and we can honor the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and watch God bless Pasco County. As I was praying this morning uh over at the Oasis Coffee Spa. Um I'm reminded of a prayer that I would pray often before I would go out and preach the gospel and You know, I'm not a Bible scholar or anything like that. But I would pray, you know, let my preaching and my teaching not be with enticing
words of man's wisdom, but great power and demonstration of his Holy Spirit. And with His Holy Spirit comes the wisdom of God, not the wisdom of men And I believe as we do prayers that are spirit led, not ri read off a piece of paper. We're going to receive blessings from God. We're also going to receive wisdom That comes down from above because we know God's word says every good and perfect gift come down from the Father
of Lights. And I I I want God to pour out them gifts on our county and on you commissioners. God bless you. Thank you for your time. Thank
you.

Excuse me.
I don't see Miss Starkey here. Good morning, Commissioner. Chairman Mariano. My name is Linda Farmer. I live reside at [address removed]. I'm here today petition Tom Bolingo's excessive and fraudulent enforcement reports. I have submitted A petition of over two hundred citizens in Shady Hills. We then assign residents, concerned citizens of Pasco County submit this petition to formally challenge the actions of
Tom Bolino, a resident of Pasco County, regarding the excessive and unjustified reports for Pasco County enforcement. he has come to my attention that Mr. Vuginio repeatedly has reported residents to code enforcement resulting in excessive and fraudulent unnecessary code violations These actions have caused undue and financial emotional stress on property owners, residing residents. Creating an atmosphere of harassment and mistrust within our community. We believe believe these reports are not only
ju unjust.
But also disruptive to the harmony of our neighborhood. We therefore demand the following. I would like a full and transparent investigation into the legitimacy of all of three hundred and seventy-seven that I have submitted to you code enforcement complaints by him. Immediately dismissal of any code enforcement complaints that are unjustified. stemming from his reports. A revised guideline on people calling in false reports and unjustified
reports and using the code enforcement as a weapon as a system on a community that he has nothing better to do. its harassment and its misuse of the code enforcement system and our tax dollars. We urge the county officials to take immediate action to address these concerns and restore the fairness and integrity to the code enforcement process. By signing that petition, we affirm to commit justice and fair treatment for all residents in Pasco County. You've been given the Petition? I would now like
to
was back from two thousand and fiftin, or twenty eight people. From Shady Hills, Florida. took Mr. Bollinger to court for harassment from code enforcement complaints. He was told to leave the community alone, that he was out of line by what he was doing. He's up at six o'clock in the morning in front of our homes. In his pajamas. Taking photos of our families. Turning in people with Tow trucks that are on twenty four hour services. Why
are we sending a code enforcement out when we have someone on rotation that has a vehicle in their parking lot and a three-acre piece of property and wasting our tax dollars? Pictures? Mm-hmm.
Are
we gonna get
to see them? I didn't know I I dn didn't know you want them shown. The other pictures?
Is that down there?
There's no context to those photos.
I personally was affected. I live on a dead end street, three and a half miles away from Mr. Bobino. He decided to drive down my road. And turn me in. For my secondary car. That's parked behind my oak trees that I is my secondary car. Sure. Legally I'm supposed to have a tag on it. I agree. It wasn't hurting anyone. Code enforcement's been up and down my road many times. They've never stopped. You can't see the the back of my vehicle
from the tag from my car. You would not know. that there was no tag on my car unless you sat out inside my yard and tried to take pictures and sat there for hours. I'm gonna show you some pictures real quick of the code violations that are being called in. This picture, unfortunately is a picture of mister Bellino's daughter stating that he has someone at the top of code enforcement working with him so he can do whatever he wants. It also states that he has the backing from the County Commission to do whatever he wants. You can skip that one 'cause you can't really read
it up there. But this is my house. This is from my front gate. You can turn it up Straight. Can you turn the picture on the trees? That's the picture from my gate. That's my car in my driveway. I got a code enforcement complaint that I had seven days to remove my vehicle from my property or I was going to get a hundred and twenty dollar fine every day that sit there. You can skip the next picture? Across the street, my neighbor has a beautiful yard and he has shrubbery across it. He has a
black top pavement driveway that goes all the way to the back of his property. He's a regal trailer. with a truck cab on the top of the trailer because he's going to replace his cab to trail because that's what we do. We work on our cars out there. It's not in anybody's way. It's a th okay, this is why I have a problem. If code enforcement wasn't out doing this. They could be handling the stuff that needs Tom Bellino could be running around. This is the side of Shady old Shady Hills where it now is
turned into a truck stop. Can you go to the next picture, please?
These are people living on the side of Shady Hills, old Shady Hills Road, because it's become a truck stop. Why is he not turning these people in? Go to the next picture, please. Things that actually matter in our neighborhood. We have people living in woods in the same area that this truck stop is. An entire homeless camp. Why is he not handling that? Why isn't he called code enforcement in on actual real stuff? Next picture please. Trash and everything down the roads, tractor trailers. Why isn't this being called in? Go to the next picture, please.
Tractor trailers, trash, all down the road. Why isn't he calling missing? Please go to the next picture.
We have people just dumping trash on this particular road. That's a code enforcement problem. Why isn't he calling that in? Go to the next picture, please.
Tractor trailers on the same road, stare all the time. Now we have transit people coming and going. You know what truck stops are all about? That's what's happening. Go to the next picture, please.
We have a guy that just got kicked out of somewhere else. Code enforcement went to the property, kicked him out of it from Hudson. He's now living on Old Shady Hills Road. He's got all of his belongings and he's got a campsite sitting there.
to stop being harassed in our neighborhood because there's a code enforcement can't do their actual job. And take care of this stuff. Because they're running around taking care of my car in my driveway or a pallet in somebody's yard.
Right.
Thank you, sir. I appreciate the pictures. Uh if you would Uh take the pictures back, show them to Denise. Denise the head of code enforcement or David Allen?
But I just
I'll need them back. They're part of the record.
Okay. Okay. I will keep them in. Uh get with David Allen. He'll he'll talk with you and we'll set up for code enforcement to take a look at everything you've asked about.
I would I I'm asking you guys right now.
David Allen's right in the back.
I know. But I'm asking y'all. Because I know what happens when I go talk to staff.
All right, we have um Sarah Gonzalez followed by Stephen, I think it's Ivester, followed by Daphne Say Sayas.
Good morning. Good morning. My name is Sarah Gonzalez. I live at [address removed], in part of Shady Hills. I am attending today. I signed that petition. I bought in that area in two thousand and seventeen. Had I known about this two thousand and fifteen situation, I would not have bought that house on the corner because of this person. I moved out here because we worked
to buy a house, our first time buyer's home. Since then there's been nothing but reports started in seventeen. Me and my husband were in this community center in this mish meeting in eighteen. It was two of us. You guys let us talk? Toss this aside. Send us on to the report thing, okay? So I'm here and I've got three minutes to say what I gotta say. So this is a consistence. My husband is an emergency truck operator. He does heavy wrecker operators.
So he saves your guys' family when they're out on the road getting smashed. In these accidents. Occasionally he may come home, okay? We don't have quite enough acres to not have a garage, okay? We comply with code. We completely appreciate every single officer that's ever been to our house. I have everyone's name. We have always worked with them. They've worked with us, they've given us advice here and there. And every time it happens and they give us advice, it seems like that code enforcement is now gone. First one that came to my house in 17, they got us in violation. We thought we could have our mud
trucks out in front of our house, okay? I went pool coats. I found that it was not legal to do that. So then we complied with you guys. We got rid of extra vehicles. We put everything behind the house. I can't afford a privacy fence to block it off. I live right on the corner. Little ranch in Albright, okay? I'm on blast. Doesn't matter who drives by. Code enforcement drives by. First time came. We wouldn't be here had it not been called in. Because if we drove by your house, it would not draw our attention. Mm-hmm. Okay, I am here because after
all these years of situations in fourteen I had to put a privacy offense across the side of my house. We're the side of my house. I got a carport, okay? 2020. I bought this house. This carport was on this property, okay? It was on my property appraisers. As a new buyer, my property appraiser, the buyer's property appraiser, did not pull any questions on it, okay? Why did Code not know that carport was not permitted? He found it. He found it in 2020 after he turned this in because
my husband was COVID was open, so he brought his truck home. Legitly could have it there because of no spread of disease, right? So he couldn't find that, so he continued to dig. Found an a non-permitted carport. Luckily had the money to take care of it. I kept the carport. I came and paid for it. I did all the leg work during COVID, Okay? I'm here because in just last June I removed that fence so that I could hire a tree company because that same carport had a ton of dead oak over it. So after
paying so much money, hundreds of dollars during COVID to keep that cardboard. Get it permitted, do all the stuff that should have been done by the first homeowner. As a new homeowner I had no clue. It was on property appraisers. Why County and Code did not know and didn't get them, I don't understand. But I'm here because June I got churned in. For a car that sits behind my I have a truck. It runs. It sits in my backyard. I dropped that piece of fence so I could get equipment in there by a tree company to remove the trees
above my carport to save it.
So your your time has been up, but I've got I've got Dave I've got David Allen Denise right behind you. They'll be happy to talk with you about it.
Okay, yes, I'd be happy, but please, it's time. Decade of Nobody else in code is getting us, but you guys come when it's called in and it's just okay, I'm here because it's crazy. I do apologize. Three minutes goes quick.
Thank you.
Hold on just a moment, Mm-hmm. I have um Steven Stephen Ivestor is next, followed by Daphne S uh Sayus, thank you.
Stephen I Vester, [address removed], uh District Five Um, I haven't had any dealings with him directly. I have a lot of friends and neighbors who have dealt with him and it seems like it's becoming a bigger issue. I don't know if anyone caught when he was talking about code enforcement. He said we. He views himself as a as a member of code enforcement. He's not a hired government employee and he's actually putting a drain on the resources. If you drive through our area and you see the homeless camps, one caught on fire behind an auto shop the other day. What happens if it's it's rebuilt again now with the wood structure?
If that burns down and catches the auto shop on fire, there's oil. That's an environmental disaster waiting to happen. Nothing. No one says a word. They're just your dumpster's too close to the road or y you got some trash right there, which I agree. I I don't want a trashy neighborhood. I don't want a trash pile everywhere, landfills. But this is getting to the point to where it's ridiculous. I mean he's We, we, when I get bored on a on the weekend, I don't go pretend to be a cop and like go pull people over for speeding and I'm a cop too because a cop lives down the street. He's he's
up to no good. It's malicious. I've actually never had a call. I'm sure I heard the other day he was a street away. I live four miles away from him. I heard he was a block away the other day. So it's a matter of time before he's in my neighborhood doing things like this, but I'm I'm friends with these people, I see what they deal with. It's it's insanity. And the fact that his daughter's out there saying, Oh, he's got the hookup. You know, he's the hookup, arguing with people in the community, telling them, hey, He they're not gonna stop him. He's got his thing. So who do we reach to? They've talked to code enforcement. It's gone nowhere. You people,
we I mean, you're the only ones that left. There's nothing to stop 'em. So I'm gonna yield my time, but at the end of the day he's not he's not government. He shouldn't be they have their own job. They they get paid for this. He's not on the payroll, he should be done. So thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Daphne Sayas. Followed by pasture Uh Oh, Jen, I I've always m don't say your last name. Kerouick, thank you.
Hi, Daphne Sayes, [address removed]. Um I wasn't expecting to come up for my uh stuff here today, um, but it was brought to my attention that uh you all were uh uh basically told that the developer was going to compensate me I have not spoke to the developer. They tried to have me sign my property which is a thirty five foot ingress egress for utilities.
Over to them. Their proposed uh address is 14934 Shady Hills Road. Um they brought in loads upon loads of dirt and tore down every tree, every oak tree. I have zero privacy whatsoever. I've not been in my yard. We have not barbecued, we haven't done anything. I've sat out there, videoed, they were working 24-7, 365, Thanksgiving Day,
and code was out there. And they said that he told me it was up for grabs. I said, by who? County told me that it was deeded to the h them. to Moss Development. I said by who? It's on my deed. I have my survey, everything. Um It's built up so high that I will flood. I am the lowest house on the block. and when they redid the f road out front that water
runs, I'm it it dips right in front of my driveway, washes out my driveway, goes straight on back. Um I've been in front of you all. I've sent l I've emailed letters. I'm just uh the Sunday y you know, the working on Sunday, they're getting away with the murder over there. And and it's been going on so they could land lock themselves in. But either Something has to be done. I mean, I'm getting an attorney if you know, uh staff
there's a big problem. Staff screwed up on this one. To let this happen. Um but I have not retained an attorney and they have not offered me one dime. Um I uh the gentleman I I can't even think of his name here at the moment. He's back there, I think. Um said that because I wouldn't talk to them because they wouldn't pay me for my house. Well, no, I have nobody to talk to because that is all
part of in I'm not gonna be there with nobody representing me. He wanted a c phone call on the phone. Yeah, I met with Jack and we met a few others here in the building. And they were going back uh Tippin was going back to 2001. Now there's other paperwork filed. And it's it's it's a shady deal. It's a shady deal in Shady Hills. And I've basically lost

Pastor Jen Kerouac, Shady Hills Mission Chapel, 15925, Green Glen Lane, Spring Hill, Florida. Um I'm here today and and um you know There is a need for support in Shady Hills and You know, I know how this whole thing goes. I understand there is a need for at least three commissioners to be kind of advocating for you. Uh Commissioner Mariano has done a lot for our community and in and you know
in attempting to try and assist with many of the things you've heard today. And I do have pictures. Um because the roads that's why I first came here, right? Was because Shady Hills Road is is it was most likely and I have not researched this in full disclosure but Most likely was not put together in a way that could accommodate the massive truck traffic that
is that is coming down the road. Not to mention there are four schools. Four schools on Shady Hills Road. We are bringing in big development, which is we understand we're not gonna prevent the development from happening. However, there is a cis it just it's an incredible need.
Did you pull up the pictures?
I sent two pictures.
Okay. There were two pictures where the kids that are sitting on the easement For their bus stop on the easement. We have four schools where parents are required to drop their kids off because within two miles we don't have enough bus drivers and we just approved approximately four hundred and fifty townhomes. on County Line Road. in the two lane area. And so we know based
on history that now Shady Hills Road is going to fall lower down on the list of priorities because County Line Road has been an issue for many years. We understand that. But why do we continue? To push forward these projects, why don't we say, hang on, before we go through this, before we change the ordinance, before we rezone things, why don't we hold on? We've got homeless camps, people getting hit and killed on County Line Road.
trying to cross the road in the four lane area with traffic lights. No traffic lights in that project. Just a pull over to the side. I really, really Community, a feeling of fellowship with others as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals. And I I'm going to be here. I shared that with Commissioner Mariano. Pasco County is my home. And I will continue to be here. I will continue to advocate.
And I I please, I ask you to go and take a look at these things and look into it further. Please.
We have um Bernie and Valerie Chilton. Um followed there's an individual who didn't write their name down. So whoever that is, okay, you'll come up next then, after them.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Well. I'm Bernie Chilton, [address removed]. Thank you.
I'm Valerie LaFrance Chotin, [address removed]. Thank you very much for taking the time. to hear our cry for the children. Thank you, Commissioner Weightman, for standing up regarding the disturbing books that are in the public library in Pasco County. We have already seen discussion made by the commissioners. I think it was last month or in January. And the Pasco Library Director,
Mr. Sean McGarvey, has been discussing about installing new rules for children's books. Yeah. I would like to request, and I know you've already heard this before, but I would like to request that you consider just not having those books available because number one, there are other counties who have done this. I have seen, based upon uh the article, so I don't know how true it is, but that you have concerns through your attorneys and through uh staff members. by allowing these kind of disturbing
materials to be in the children's section. I suggest you get other attorneys to talk to. Other counties have provided this not being allowed. Okay, I it's crazy about the rule that the library director is trying to inst uh instill based upon breaking the age from eight to nine year olds that parents can attend with their children. If you feel it's so necessary for these disturbing uh books to be seen or available to
parents, then I suggest take these books and put them in the adult section of the public library and that parent can take their child to the adult section according to the rules that I've read and let them choose those books if that's what a parent so chooses. Uh Mr. Shawn McGarvey also said that he He did not want to be uh libraries do not act in local parentis. However, he has said a right above about children nine and older must follow the library's code of conduct or face a potential dis suspension
of services. Who on the staff in the library are going to want to stand up and tell that child or that parent? That's my two-minute warrant, my one minute left. Thank you. How many staff members even want to face somebody who brings their pet dog into the library? Not a service animal, but a pet dog, and say, please put your dog outside. Okay? I don't think this is very difficult. I think it's important that we pray and ask the Lord for wisdom. We have done this before with
all of you. We have 40 days of prayer going on right now, and currently at OAC. This coffee spot on Wednesday nights, we are praying. And tonight we are focusing again on all of you. I would like to see us pray and expose those who choose to deceive and misuse our Pasco children. And bless those who truly see that your position in the offices that you hold, including the Director of Library Service, A place to serve and not to worship, and you and your will may be perfect, Lord God, that I don't
want you to be worshiping your own power and your own desire. This is the children now. I don't know how much deeper we can get to on the youngest. Let's save our innocence. In Jesus' name. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
And then the gentleman, thank you. If you could s um set your name and address for the record and then you can begin. Hi, good

We don't know about the titaniums. the bariums, the stroniums, We none of the public knows about. the Geoengineering Neural Project You can do that on a Google research and find out about the Neuro Project. the neurobrain implant project that's being done. The public needs to be aware about Agenda 2030 and how it affects us all. These
are the We have no answers of what's going on above us. And I come to you to find out what is going on. Because I've called other counties. And they have no answers. And I'd like to know how this affects us physically, emotionally, and mentally. Because What's up comes down on all of us and how it affects us. I thank you very much for your time.
