Call to order invocation and pledge
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.

Happy holidays. Uh Okay, I'd like to call to order the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners meeting for December 9th. twenty twenty five. At this time, silence all electronic devices and mute your microphones, and we will rise for the invocation and the pledge.
Good morning. Good morning. Merry Christmas to you all in case I don't see you between now and then. And thank you for allowing me to be here and and to serve you all. Let's pray. Uh Father, we have come together again for another important meeting and another full agenda, Lord, and Yeah. We have come together at a time that there are so many distractions, with the holidays quickly approaching, all the distractions
of the things that we still need to do and prepare, um all of those things, Lord, and so we ask that in our time together today that you help us to set those concerns aside and give us the ability to focus on the agenda at hand so we're able to go through the agenda and successfully complete it as we need to, Lord. And as we've gathered today, we want to lift up a couple families. Lord, we want to lift
up the family of Jesse Cass, who is one of our volunteer firefighters. We thank you for his service, and we just ask that you surround his family with your arms of love and comfort, particularly during the Christmas season. We also want to lift up the family of Michael. Konyarsky, who's one of our HR employees, Lord, and I ask the same for them, that you'll just encircle them with your arms of love and comfort and just
give them the ability to go through the holidays with fond memories of their loved ones, Lord. So uh be with us now and uh during this time and prepare us for Christmas. It'll truly be a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and we will uh always be reminded of the true reason for the season. So thank you, Lord, for being with us today and I lift this in your name. Amen.
I clad
to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which stands one nation under God, indivisible with liberty
and justice for all.

Uh before we start today's meeting, I just wanna um take a moment of silence for former commissioner Ann Hildebrand whose district actually I sit in now and who was a mentor and a friend. for many years. I think she served twenty nine years. As County County Commissioner Yeah. I believe she was the first Republican woman elected in Pasco County. I think. And um so for For all please
a moment of silence to remember Commissioner Hildebrand.
