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.

What was said

Commissioner Fitzpatrick.
Okay. I don't know what's coming up first.
I will mention I'm insulated from your grubby hands.
We
gotta take from Fitzpatrick and Mariano in the middle. Excuse me.
Take from Cali Hollywood that he just brought up. No,
I'm not sure.
So I attended several events over the past couple of weeks. One was the law enforcement memorial service two Fridays ago. So I would like to say to remember to honor all of our law enforcement officers and to thank them for all the work that they do every day.
And I spoke quickly. But as you show in the photos next I did attend the tourism banquet as well. And I would like to congratulate Senator Wilton Simpson for the Chairman Choice Award. And I would also like to discuss and mention Thaddeus Bullard was the keynote speaker. I found it very informative, especially since the next two topics I'm going to speak about. He had told everyone to take out their phone. And whether you do it now or you do it later today, take out your phone and text someone, I believe
in you. And I think it's really power a really powerful message because you never know what seed you're gonna plant. So next There should be one more photo, maybe. I also after the law enforcement memorial service that day, I attended The REACH Housing Affordable and Resiliency Conference in Saint Pete. And I feel it's really important that we are continuously addressing, continuing to address our senior homeless and workforce population to make sure that they have affordable
housing and housing in the area. I know one of the topics that was brought up was inclusion inclusionary ordinance. Um and then lastly, I also did attend last Friday the Pasco Housing Authority community collaborative meeting. Um last two topics that I would like to just put out there so people can start thinking about. I would like to continue to work with the school district on opening parks before and after school. So just to put it out there so others can start looking or helping.
Push that forward. I think it would be really important if we can start at opening the playgrounds at the schools after school. And on weekends, especially with the summer coming up, it will help get our students and our children off their video games all the time and maybe their parents can go with them to the playgrounds, or it will give them another opportunity to go and get out of the house and not be playing on electronics. And lastly, I know stations two and four, we have the funding for stations two and
four, and they're looking to be on the budget next year. But if we already have the funding for two and four, I would consider pushing them up to be on the budget this upcoming year. And then we can work on how we're gonna fund the staff. Thank you.
