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.

Can we
Administrators talk but this is it all.
And it's no, it's it's all good.
Thank you. We are here for our eighth two good souls. As you can see around here we have thousands of shoes and socks ready to be given to our students in our school system. I was blown away to see the amount of shoes and the socks donated this year. Just a true testament to how we can all come together and give back. It like middle school is hard. And even elementary school, if you don't have shoes and socks, you can get bullied. So I feel like it's really important for them to actually
have shoes and socks. As working for Pasco County government, it's just been such a great opportunity for us to be able to give back and rather than just focusing on the daily tasks of our jobs, we have something that we can engage in and just pour back into the community. So we've really enjoyed that. Thank you all for contributing. Thank you all for being here.
The young girl in there's Lane Mendelson's daughter. a good friend of mine and that's his older daughter but uh she's always been a part of that giving shoes but a great project. Thank you everything, Kathy, for all you do. Yeah.
I wanted you to know that in in our commission office on this side, we started um being a little more um aggressive. I don't know what the word is. Um You bought some shoes? Uh well I've always bought shoes, but we when the developers came into our office, we had flyers sitting on the table. And um I know some some Some of some attorneys bought shoes and donated and I thank of them for that. But the funniest one was I got a call from
Um Ed Briggs from Pasco Builders Assembl for the Tampa Bay Builders Association that The uh the housing develop builder um Oh now I'm gonna forget the names. They're the ones out of Hernando that's not a good thing. that did that bill that we didn't like that took away the uh Um a right to put um architectural restrictions. Highland homes. um donated two thousand dollars worth of shoes and socks. And
Ed and I had a very big laugh and I'm very grateful that they did that. And uh and we I I said, now are they ugly shoes or are they nice shoes? But um we all had a fun laugh over that and and I'm very grateful to them. I'll send them a personal note. Right. But um ne next year just let's keep from our office, make sure that we're asking the people that we do business with to to donate to
really good
idea. Thank
you.
