Call to order invocation pledge call roll
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.

Good morning everybody. I'd like to call to order the Hybrid virtual Pasco County Board of County Commissioners for October 20th, 2020. I'd like to remind each and every one of you to please silence your electronic devices and mute your microphones when not speaking. If we could please rise for the invocation and pledge, Madam Clerk.
O merciful Creator, your hand is open wide to satisfy the needs of every living creature. Make us thankful for your loving providence and grant that we, remembering the account that we must one day give, may be faithful stewards of your good gifts. Amen.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible.
Yeah. Madam Clerk, please call the roll.

Here, thank you. Mr. Steinsteiner, please go over today's proceedings with the BCC.
Be happy to, Mr. Chairman. On March 20th, Governor DeSantis issued Executive Order 2069, which has recently been extended by Executive Order 20246, 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 until November 1st, 2020. However, the Board has chosen to hold this board meeting. Meeting with a quorum physically present, utilizing communications media technology for the public and team members to
participate. A detailed advertisement was run in the Tampa Bay Times indicating the Board's intent to conduct a hybrid virtual meeting. On september twenty fifth, twenty twenty, the governor issued executive order 2244, moving the state into phase three of the governor's safe, smart, step-by-step order. Gathering at large gatherings of over fifty people is still not recommended to congregate in any public space that does not readily allow for appropriate social distancing. The
state's attorney Surgeon General. Public health advisory is still in its place with regard to maintaining social distancing and avoiding gatherings of ten or more people. The public has been afforded an opportunity to make public comments either in writing or by use of communications technology that has been provided. The board adopted resolution twenty. 182 on June 30th, 2020, establishing the procedural rules for a hybrid virtual meeting such as the one being held today. As with any meeting that
which you take action, that you are required to take public comment on any proposition pursuant to section 286.0114, Florida statutes. I'm available for any questions.
