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.

Hi, Kathy Pearson, Assistant County Administrator for Public Services. We believe in and want to thank this amazing team. We are proud and humble to serve the citizens of Pasco County.
None of us has seen a disease quite like COVID-19 before. But as your County Health Department, protecting the public's health is what we do, so we know it's up to us to be a leader in the fight against this deadly virus. The incredible people who make up the health department have been on the front lines throughout this pandemic. Providing guidance and vital information to the public, offering drive-up testing throughout the county, performing contact tracing to slow the spread, doing whatever it takes to defend against the coronavirus. For
our dedicated staff, that means working long hours, being in harm's way, sharing responsibilities, juggling work and family, and they do it all selflessly and with a smile, because they care about you, about me, about our community. COVID-19 may be with us for a while, but as long as it's a threat, our team will be there fighting back. Because nothing is more important to us than your health.
When I spoke to the officials here at the Ron Scene before I had arrived, they indicated that at least the winds were clocked at sixty miles an hour that that came through. Some of the damage that had occurred it ripped the roof right off the entire facility. Screws and all just ripped it out. Destroyed the carports, any attachments, sheds, snap trees. So that was substantial damage for sixty mile an hour wind, so This one here was rather close. As you can see it removed it, it removed the entire roofing
system but left the insulation. And that's what saved his structure actually from getting substantial damage. Right. They have a tarp now to secure it. The insulation, as I indicated, stayed intact, but the remainder of the roof and carboard has been placed in the backyard.
And I walked out op tried to open the sunroom door. And the rain was going this way. So I shut the s uh sunroom door. Step back a few peat feet and it went Pop. One big boom. That was
it. We realize that the winds may pick up tomorrow, so we'll be back out here again, checking the structures again to make sure everybody's safe. But this one here we'll keep an eye on just to make sure it's uh it's safe for the occupants to be inside.
Get on fire a little bit more, Eltiss. I like mine on fire. Yes.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Ooh ooh ooh!
Ha ha ha ha.
Hi, I'm Brian Taylor with Pasco County Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources. While many of you have been staying at home helping stop the spread of COVID-19, we've been using this unique time working in all our parks to enhance your experience. Let's take a look. On your next visit to J.B. Starkey Wilderness Park, you can walk the new shell path leading to the beautiful new Birdblind. And in Key Vista Nature Park, you'll see how grant funding made it possible to protect the gopher tortoises as we wrapped up this important habitat
restoration project. You'll also notice big improvements at the Pet Cemetery in Land O' Lakes, where our team has worked to spruce up the space, resetting headstones and removing debris. We've knocked one out of the park for our athletes with major improvements to baseball, softball, and soccer fields in several of our county parks. And our team members are taking a paintbrush to almost everything, including picnic tables, concession stands, even our rec centers. there is no doubt that, from trimming
trees and repairing fences, To pressure washing. and building new gardens and playgrounds. You will see big changes on your next visit. And a huge thank you to our parks team for stepping up to help the children of frontline workers by hosting a critical day camp when they had no other place to go. When we reopen, we hope your experience is even better than it was before. We can't wait for you to see what we've done. For more information on our parks, programs, and services, visit
