County administrator, county attorney, clerk updates

1:31:15Okay. Um Well the county administrator. Actually uh

1:31:21I do have a few items here that uh that Dan had and uh the first thing that we wanted to recognize was uh the team went to the Florida City and County Managers uh Association uh uh gathering in in uh Orlando at the beginning of June. We had a fantastic showing amongst the team, which is good. Good to see a lot of interest and and folks wanting to You know, pursue those routes and improve their leadership abilities. I know Kathy moderated some great sessions. Uh Dan and Joanna spoke about our cultural change. So it was a fantastic opportunity for Pasco to get out there and showcase

1:31:52itself and be with your peers in your industry. Also, in that same week, uh Pasco County was recognized by the Sterling Council uh for completing what's called a Sterling Explorer Management Assessment. So this is kind of a a more in-depth look under the hood at your organization and the things that you're doing to to move yourself towards the path of of hopefully becoming a Sterling certified organization. But but at the end of the day it's it's really about uh the management and the process and making data driven decisions and and and

1:32:22focusing on your customers. So fantastic of that. I'd also just like to add sorry I was a little unexpected with uh your your move today and I'm I'm appreciative of that. Uh it was also unexpected for me to land here in Pasco County uh and and work for such a great administrator uh like Dan Biles as well as the people that that we work with here, this board, and our various stakeholders. So I do appreciate your confidence. And I look forward to again working alongside the women and men as well as our key stakeholders in Pasco County as your

1:32:52county administrators. So thank you for that.

1:32:55Thank you. Um who's next? County Attorney.

1:33:01Um I may have something later but I don't right now.

1:33:04Okay, and I'm sitting here looking for a photo. Um

1:33:08Clearly, yes. Um uh two updates. One, um last week we had our Florida Clerks of Court um conference and my office was recognized uh um in excellence in twelve best practices um by our association, so very proud of that. And an update in regards to the contract with the outside auditing firm. Um last week or last meeting, Harold Sample mentioned that we were going to go forward with negotiating

1:33:38contract terms with Sherry Beckert. We um I was hoping to have a contract signed as of yesterday, but we're still fine fine-tuning the language in the contract. I should have that this week and once it is signed um I will email it to you. I will also file it at the next Next Board of County Commissioners and also email it to the sheriff. The estimate for the hours to be worked is 250, around under $42,000, which is well under the ask originally from this board.

1:34:09We do expect that you know it might expand out beyond that the estimated hours. They will begin work immediately once the contract is signed and they will complete the report.

1:34:21And they're going to be uh providing us an accounting of the financials, the assets, and the liabilities transferring from the sheriffs to the county on the jail transition. Any questions?

1:34:35Staff, do you have any questions for the clerk? Yeah.

1:34:38Once the contract is signed, we'll go ahead and uh schedule a meeting. Um my IG will schedule a meeting to kick off the Accounting. Sorry it does not say audit. The accounting
