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.

You're welcome.

Hello.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

Depend on you to keep them healthy. Excess fertilizer, grass clippings, trash, oils, and pet waste wash into gutters and storm drains when it rains. Stormwater carries these pollutants directly into our lakes and rivers, creating an unhealthy environment for fish, waterfowl, and other aquatic animals. Storm drains are meant for clean rainwater. Most other discharges are illegal. If you suspect an illicit discharge, please contact Pasco County Department of Public Works at 727-834-3611.

Uh we've been out to this address many times. Uh we've got a building violation, a minimum housing case on it. We're trying to determine whether to condemn the structure or not. And we brought the uh Sheriff's Department with us because they're uh it's a known drug house and they're squatters. So we want to make sure that uh for our safety that everything's cleared out first before we make that determination.

Unidentified speakerVoice C

Heartbreaking. I helped the gentleman that got that years ago. Need to have it cleaned up or removed one or the other. I always say it gone. It'd be better better for never then. That one and the house next door to it. They are both Gar easy. Unbearable.

Unidentified speakerVoice B

So anyway, we have made our determination that this is going to be a combination case under the Slum and Blight. I'll just check with the Sheriff's Office before we head out, make sure that uh everything is good on their side and uh go back and start the case.

Unidentified speaker

Okay.

Unidentified speakerVoice B

Hi, I'm Pasco

Sheriff

Sheriff Chris Knocko. Along with your entire Sheriff's Office, we serve and protect all the citizens of our community, including our youngest and most vulnerable, our children. There are almost 1,000 kids in a child welfare system. Guardian At Lightum is a voice to many of these children, but we need more voices. Please go to HeroToAChild.org or call seven two seven eight three four three four nine three to learn how you can help. I'm for the child. Are you?

Okay, so the company we have here is called Infrastructure Management Services IMS. And what they do is they collect data on roads and other infrastructure in the public right-of-way. The reason why they are here is that they are gonna help us collect information, that means the condition, and the of our assets within the public right-of-way.

Unidentified speakerVoice E

The way the van basically works is there's 11 lasers on the front of the van, and those 11 points are creating a wireframe model of the road surface as we travel. And the lasers are firing fast enough that they can measure the width and depth of all these cracks, and we can identify all kinds of different road distresses.

Brentford Adumwa

So this is technology at its itself It's best, you know that the information that we need can be collected in a very short period of time, probably no more than three weeks. This is the modern way of collecting data on your assets. So it's a first time for Pasco and it's going to help us really make sure the taxpayers' dollars we are getting, we are using wisely and cost-effectively.

Unidentified speaker

Hello.

Oh

Yeah.

Mike Carballa

Purely and simply it it's we're overcrowded the facility, right? We can't just go and put a no-vacancy sign up, right? We we have to house house these folks.

Unidentified speaker

The expansion is gonna allow us an opportunity to better classify our inmate population. So with that, it's gonna improve the safety of our staff.

Denise

One, two, three, time.
