Budget office Chrome compatibility issue
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.

Thank you, Commissioner. Mr. Biles. Uh yes, sir. I I do have a few. I just want I want to address the public comment that we had earlier regarding Chrome. And it's actually the SIR add-in piece on a website, not the website itself. That that that was identified to us last week. Uh we worked um both with Chrome and Sire and and actually it's working today. Uh, I just pulled it up on Chrome on my computer, but we have a banner there that talks about if there's an issue with Chrome, go to the Yeah,
the other thing. Browsers.
I'm I'm about to get over my head technically wise, but it was an issue with a new part of a new version of Chrome didn't match the old version of Sire. So there was a compatibility issue. But it it appears to be fixed today. Um secondly Uh just wanna Yeah, it's congrats to our budget office. They were awarded again for now for the fourth year in a row, uh the Government Finance Officers Association Distinguished Budget uh presentation award. Uh so four years in a row they've won that. So good, good for them. And then I I think you
may have all seen the press release regarding our Sterling team. Uh yeah, they The awards program for this internal sterling uh program here in the state almost was like Pasco County Day. uh to uh to top that off with Amy Farrell. Amy Lee Farrell was a recipient of the Examiner Excellence Award for the year. So uh they're doing an excellent job going out and In examining private and public and government agencies and not only helping them get better, but
bringing their ideas back to Pasco County so we can do our job better too. So there's a there's a dozen on that team right now, and they're doing an outstanding job throughout the state and then bringing those ideas back to us so we can become, you know, the premier county that the board wants us to become. And the the last item I have is just uh piggyback on what Commissioner Weightman with respect to sales tax. We get did get the main numbers and The general sales tax actually was, as you mentioned above, what we had actually projected in the 20 budget. So not the
pre the pre-COVID 20 budget number, not the post-COVID. Bullet budget number. Which which was great news. The good news only goes so far. Uh gas tax is still taking a pretty significant hit across all elements of the gas tax. Of course, tourist development tax is still down. Uh and ambulance fees are still down as well. Contrary. We're issuing a lot of permits. Building building revenue was up six percent. So and that's
taking into account the fact that we reduced the fees ten percent last year. So it's actually up Year if you compare it like to like, 16% over 19 year to date. So um so mixed message in there. Uh we're driving less, less mobility, which you can see in a lot of the data. But we are still purchasing things in the state of Florida, which again, kind of a mixed economic message, but revenue-wise. Uh that's kind of wanted to give you an update on that. And I think, Commissioner, that is all I have at this time. Thank you,
sir. Mr. Steismeyer.
I don't have anything generally. Thank
