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.

Here. Mr Steinsteiner, will you please go over today's proceedings with the BCC?
Be happy to, Mr. Chairman. On March 20th, 2020, Governor DeSantis issued Executive Order 2069, which recently has been extended by Executive Order 2179, which suspended any Florida statute that requires a quorum to be present in person or requires a local government entity to meet in a specific public place. However, the Board has chosen to hold This board meeting with a quorum physically present, utilizing communications media technology for the public and
other team members to participate. The a detailed advertisement was run in the Tampa Bay Times indicating the board's intent to conduct a hybrid virtual meeting. Even with Executive Order Number 2112, the governor's safe, smart, step-by-step order, large gatherings of over 50 people are not recommended to cater. congregate in any public place that does not readily allow for appropriate social distancing. The state's Surgeon General on july twentieth, twenty
twenty, issued a public health advisory indicating all individuals should refrain from participation in social and or recreational gatherings of Not of more than ten people. Based on that? This the conduct of a regular meeting would not would certainly not meet the spirit or intent of the order. The public has been afforded an opportunity to make public comments either in writing or by the use of communications technology that has been provided. The board adopted resolution 2182
on June 30th, 2020, establishing the procedural rules for hybrid virtual meetings, such as the one being held today. As with any public meeting. Any meeting you take action at, you are required to make public comment on any proposition pursuant to section two eighty-six. Point O 114 Florida statutes. I'm available for any questions. Thank you,
