Storm drains, waterways, and library videos
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.

Waterways and wildlife 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. Storm water 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 seven two seven eight three four three six one one.
Hi, I'm Mary Beth Isaacson, Regional Branch Manager for Pasco County Libraries. Welcome to the Starkey Ranch Theater Library Cultural Center, currently under construction and scheduled to be completed in spring of 2021. Let's go in and take a look.
Now that the interior walls are up, you can really get a sense of the library's layout. The lobby will be the first space you enter with a cafe area and a green wall with living plants. It will be an inviting space with plenty of natural light from the skylights. The library will have comfortable seating areas for relaxing, studying, and working. There will also be a drive-up window and book return for your convenience and safety. We're very excited about the theater. The auditorium has a seating capacity of 250 and can be
set up theater style, banquet style, or classroom style. The stage is equipped with curtains, lights, and theater sound so it will be able to accommodate a wide range of performances. There are attached dressing rooms and a catering area. The enclosed courtyard also features an outdoor stage and presentation area. The library is on the same campus as Starkey Ranch K-8 School and will serve a dual purpose as the school's media center. The youth room is very large and will hold thousands of books, plus study rooms and other learning
areas, including a separate storytime room and a teen room. We look forward to having lots of kids in this space and there will be plenty of activities for students and families. Starkey Ranch will have three makerspaces. One makerspace is dedicated to ceramics with a kiln and two pottery wheels. The other two makerspaces will offer a wide range of equipment and activities, such as jewelry making, sewing and textile arts, and painting. The makerspaces will have both scheduled instructor-led classes and open hours when community
members can come work on their own projects. Watch for more videos to keep you up to date on how the Starkey Ranch Theater Library Cultural Center is progressing. Thank you!
