BayCare support letter and utility reuse
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.

Okay. Anything else? No, nothing. County Administrator?
Yes. Ms. Chair. The the Bay Care Bahioural Health has asked, they're submitting appropriation requests to the Congressman's office and asked the county for support. There's a draft letter on the dais for each one of yours place, each of your places. We'd request if the board at all
You want me to sign this actual one right here?
Second. I think the actual one right there is probably fine.
All in favor?
Aye. Aye.
Opposed? Okay, it is signed.
So so right now we have a legislative kind of wrap-up scheduled for the next board meeting, but that's also I believe the day the special session may start. So we may delay that. We haven't decided yet. It's kinda gonna depend on if anything else gets added to the session uh in addition to the congressional maps. So uh just right now it's a placeholder for next meeting, but it's depend on what's in the special session. We may adjust that because the budget probably will not be approved at that point, and most of the discussion that we'll have as a wrap-up
is regarding the budget. Uh last thing is uh just wanna let you know that Pasco County um utilities is the largest residential reuse provider in the Southwest Florida Water Management District now. Nice. Based on the growth over the last twelve months. Um so we provide I think the last number I heard was somewhere in the order of twenty to twenty five million of gallons a day of reclaimed water that we don't have to buy from Tampa Bay Water that they don't have to go find the
water supply for. So that's a massive amount of water.
Yeah and a question on that do we require Reuse lines going into every new neighborhood?
We do if they're within uh a reasonable distance of the lines and there have been times where we have a assisted them connecting because they were further away than what would be reasonable.
Okay.
Great. And now if they're way out where they're you know if they're ten miles away, no.
Yeah. So we don't have them in there, Caterpillar.
It's a reasonable distance. I don't know the exact number, but I think it's a kind of a fluid uh distance based on how close they are and how easy it is to get up to 'em.
Okay. Anything else?
