Team of the Year, Cisco system, shredding services

1:52:18Um Madam Clerk?

1:52:20Yes, thank you, Chairman. I do have um a few items, mostly of gratitude. Especially to the county. One is the Pasco County 2020 Team of the Year was for the Pasco and Community Cares team. And I wanted to tell the board thank you and my appreciation because in that team awards you recognized our office as part of the extended team of the county. And I just wanted to say that the whole CARES project that

1:52:50we worked on together was just a great example of how government agencies work well together. And especially here in Pasco County, I am I'm very grateful to have the relationship that our offices have together. So to do good things in our community. So I appreciate that. I appreciate all the hard work of all the departments that were involved. We worked extremely especially a lot with Kathy Pearson's group with the community development and it was just a great partnership and there were many, many

1:53:21other departments of the county that helped in that endeavor. And I just grateful that we could take part in something so wonderful for our community. Um the second piece of gratitude I would like to um tell the to the commissioners and to your team is um for the acquis acquisition of the Cisco video conferencing system for my office. That has been tremendously impactful. I took my new term, started Tuesday

1:53:51of last week, and as part of my duties, I needed to deputize my team, to deputize around 300 people and make sure that it was safe. The Cisco system was absolutely imperative. Um, it was wonderful. I was able to hold four sessions simultaneously throughout the day to connecting six locations in the office to make sure that everyone was safe to properly deputize them. Um it went perfectly. I wanted to thank um especially Todd Kirsey, who spent

1:54:21many hours with us to make sure everything went smoothly and it did, and it's one working wonderfully. So thank you for allowing me to. start my my uh my new term um smoothly. That's greatly appreciated. It will allow connectivity with our office and the county, the courts, and also outside parties. So it was a great investment and we greatly appreciate that. Um, my third and last thing is to let everyone know that we have our big shred event coming up at the end of this month. This is um in

1:54:52line with Data Privacy Day. Free shredding services of your documents. We partner again with the county to do this. And we have it scheduled for Newport Ritchie. It'll be at the The West Pasco Judicial Center on the 30th of this month from 10 a.m. till noon. And we will hold another session on February 6th at the Robert Sumner Judicial Center in Dade City, right here. Not in this location,

1:55:22but across the way there. To participate, you would just need to either bring three bankers' boxes up to Baker's box size of documents or two kitchen size trash bags to of your documents for us to shred. Please remove metal objects on them, staples and clips. And just to let you know, last year, um, New Port Richey, we had 5.5 tons of paper were shredded at that event. 264 cars came through the line. Dade City, not as big because it was a rain day um that day, but people still

1:55:52made it. out we had eighty two cards and two tons in Dave City that day. So we're hoping to also help our community that day for those two days as well. That's it. Thank
