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.

Good morning. I would like to call to order The hybrid virtual Pasco County Board of County Commissioners meeting of January twenty-sixth, twenty twenty one. I would like ever to remind everyone to please silence all the electronic devices. And mute your mics. At this time I want to ask everyone to stand for the invocation and the pledge.
O merciful Creator, your hand is open wide to satisfy the needs of every living creature. Make us thankful for all 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.
