1:58:51right, if you can

1:58:51do it in

1:58:52six minutes.

1:58:53Let's go. What do we have first? Oh I wanted to show you some of my um successes. Not mine, the county successes. In um getting new landscaping put in in places where it has died. So if you're driving around. Fifty four. And nineteen, which is they started the commercial code team started on the US 19 border, moved up. Um the highway and then down

1:59:23fifty four you can see uh unfortunately there aren't before and afters, I guess, but you can see where Um Well I see trees missing in that Walgreens. We'll talk about that in a second. Wait a minute. Maybe that was before. But um But great job and um I'm looking forward then to going up Little Road one of these days. So here's some more. Okay. This is the yeah, the coat team. Yeah. It makes a difference. It really makes a difference. From

1:59:53uh being dead and missing and You know, it's like your house. The first thing you see is curb appeal and this is the curb appeal of the county. Um next we had our um annual cleanup in uh holiday. And uh thank you to Saint Vincent de Paul Catholic Church where we staged Uh we we did not beat Moon Lake. You know, I'm a very competitive person and I was trying really hard. I probably should have brought some of my junk.

2:00:23Um

2:00:23you shouldn't wish for

2:00:24that.

2:00:26want to be the opposite

2:00:27of that.

2:00:30We got close though. Does anyone remember how much Moon Lake had? Jack's not here. Um no we did get kind of close. Uh Almost thirty two and a half tons. So I don't know if Jason's here. But um I want to thank them all for coming out on a Saturday. Um We had quite the operation going. And um We had a big pile of metal, a pile of brush, um, and uh hazardous materials and

2:01:00the trucks just coming and coming coming. Um we did go I guess we don't have a picture. I we did go and clean up the that hoarder that I've shown you photos of on Patriot Lane. We were able to uh with a grappling truck get everything that was out on the street, except a van that was full. Um So I appreciate that they went down down to that neighborhood and at least cleared off the street. I can tell you the stench was unbearable. Like I feel so bad for that neighborhood. Okay,

2:01:31next. Um thank you to my staff for attending Mission Storage. Um they are located on State Road 54 behind Crave Cookies. This was one of the first ones built um after we enacted the new rules that you had to have some retail or commercial up front and then the storage would be in the back. Um And they uh they have something unique they that sets them apart. They partner with local non profits and raise money for them throughout the year. So um thank you to uh

2:02:02to mission storage. You can see Congressman Bill Aracus's office is represented and many others. So that's that's right here on 54. Let's see. Oh, I was very uh very happy to attend the uh Vetropol Ministry's ribbon cutting. I know, Commissioner, you were there as well. Great morning. Yeah, it this is such a wonderful project for Pasco County and the community, especially West Pasco. Um Dewey Mitchell's son,

2:02:33as many of you know, passed away uh two years ago now. And uh They um they sponsored this Welcome Center with a very generous donation and Derek was Mitchell was a very special person who had a oh get all choked up. A very big heart for his community. So they wanted to honor his memory and uh named this Welcome Center after him. And um so uh a lot of wonderful people in that picture. Uh uh and and Commissioner

2:03:03Yeager's there as well. And if you look to the left of Commissioner Yeager Yeager, that's my friend Jeff Marple. He's the CEO uh of Florida for uh rooms to go and they're they're donating all the furniture. I mean there's just they just have such a wonderful Wonderful um charity going. They when we had that hurricane a few years ago Um and a lot of our residents got flooded up in the Hudson area. Uh some of you might remember they donated a bunch of furniture which we staged up

2:03:33at the um Fasano hurricane shelter and families were able to come up and get beds and dressers and dining room tables and sofas. So a big uh shout out to Rooms to Go.

2:03:48Um this one I I couldn't go to either, but uh we already uh mentioned this, the Magnolia Oaks groundbreaking uh off of uh Massachusetts. This has been uh a long time coming. And um А яма. I'm so grateful this project finally finally got off the ground.

2:04:07Yeah, they're turning dirt here. They said Yeah.

2:04:10I think they'll be done in eighteen months, what is what I've been told. So that's that's wonderful.

2:04:17Seventy seven.

2:04:18Seventy seven one story units, one, two, and three bedrooms for our veterans. So and uh big shout out to With Licucci. I thought it was seventy

2:04:25three, but

2:04:26oh I've got here seventy seven, but

2:04:28okay.

2:04:28Um With the Coochie River Electric, Pasco County Government, Pasco County Housing Authority, and Congressman Bilarakis. Um Okay, next is a uh something that I came across riding my bike. With my husband on the Coastal Enclot Trail. And as you know, we have a shortage of Uh Boat. Parking. uh in the county. So Uh on Saturday mornings, it can be very crazy out there at the Enclot River Park. And I

2:04:59was very dismayed to come across at least ten trucks who took took up three spaces. Three spaces and then a whole bunch of 'em took two. So um I rode my bike over to the deputy's trailer and uh he wasn't home but his wife directed me over to the Um the m maintenance shed for the parks department there at the park. and I spoke to a gentleman and I I hope they went, I asked them to go ticket.

2:05:30Every truck. Every everybody who was parked incorrectly And frankly, I think that this guy should be getting two tickets. And um Yeah. No, he he should only be taken one space and he took three. And and so I am I talked to Mr. Karbal about this yesterday, but I would like us to every day be ticketing the people who are parking incorrectly and if they I don't know if we can do this, Jeff, but if if someone gets multiple tickets,

2:06:00can we revoke their permit for parking here?

2:06:05Do we

2:06:07We regulate

2:06:09park permit program for parking? I don't know.

2:06:15No.

2:06:17I'm pretty sure that we do and you can pay an annual fee or you can pay every time you park.

2:06:23Okay.

2:06:25I thought we gave up on that program after the

2:06:31I thought

2:06:32if we have an annual pass and we and we have frequent violators, we probably could Pass something that would terminate it. But the thing that you're n gonna need to do if it's not, and I can't tell from these photos, is you're going going to have to set up an area for separate boat trailer parking And Provide adequate parking for the boat and trailer or the car and trailer together.

2:07:02This is only this is only boat and trailer parking here. Okay. It's not the other parking, it's only boat and trailer. Yeah.

2:07:08Well, it appears that there are regular cars parked

2:07:12on the

2:07:12other side.

2:07:13They all have trailers behind them. You just can't tell from my

2:07:17hard to see.

2:07:18Um but every every single spot that was available available to be parked safely was full. And so that's what was really frustrating when you see so many of these um parking spots that were needlessly

2:07:36Okay.

2:07:37Unsafe to park. So
