Call to order, allegiance, and roll call
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.

I'd like to call to order the hybrid the hybrid virtual Pasco County Board of County Commissioners of July 14th, 2020. And I'd like to remind everybody that please silence your electronic devices and mute your microphone, which I always do that point on mute. So So Madam Clerk, please call the roll. Or actually I I apologize. Let's actually rise for the invocation and pledge. It's been a while since I've been inside here, so
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.
Of
allegiance to the flag of the United States
of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, individual, liberty, and justice as well.
Okay. Now Madam Clerk, please call the roll.
District One, Commissioner Oakley.
Hi.
District 3, Commissioner Starkey. District 4, Commissioner Weightman. District five, Commissioner Mariano. Five. District two, Chairman More.
Here. Thank you so much. Mr. Steinsnyder, will you please go over today's proceeding with the BCC?
Be happy to, mister Chairman. On march twentieth, Governor DeSantis issued Executive Order twenty sixty nine, which recently has been extended by Executive Order twenty one fifty, which suspended any Florida statute that requires a quorum to be present in in person or requires a local government entity to meet at a specific public place. Board has chosen to uh to uh
meet a as a quorum present um y and utilize the the uh virtual communications media technology. A detailed advertisement was run in the Tampa Bay Times indicating the board's intent to conduct this hybrid virtual meeting. even with Executive Order number twenty one twelve, the Governor's Safe Smart step by step order. Large gatherings of over fifty people are not recommended to congregate
in in any place that does not readily allow for appropriate social distancing. Based on this, the conduct of a regular meeting would certainly not meet the spirit or intent of this order. The public has been a afforded an opportunity to make public comments Either in writing or by use of the communications technology that has been provided. The Board adopted Resolution 2182 on June 30th, 2020, establishing procedural rules for these hybrid virtual meetings
such as the one being held today. As with any meeting that you take action, you are required to take public comment on any proposition pursuant to 286.0. One one four, Florida statutes. I'm available for any questions. Thank
you, Mr. Steinsnyder. And uh if I'm not correct, Madam Clerk, um Commissioner Wells is on now. He I think he can hear us. So Commissioner Weightman.
Okay. I know he's there somewhere.
Oh, okay.
He can hear us. I think we'll just have to figure out how to unmute him.
Is he via WebEx?
