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.

zero. Good. Thank you, sir. Um hey, um, library grants. I
want
to congratulate our library team on two items that were approved on consent today from the Florida Department of State and Division of Library Services. First, there was one for a books by mail program for homebounds who can't get to a library. That's great, obviously not just during COVID, but for our seniors and our homeboy um as a whole. The second For a mobile maker space. And those were items C68 and C69. Combined, there's 70, a little over $70,000 in grants for those programs. So, Kathryn
Pearson, please congratulate the library teams for all their great work on getting that. Anytime we can get those grants and save our taxpayers dollars here locally, that's a that's a positive. Um, also another kudos, um, there was a central program. Permitting audit recently. It was a clean audit. So it was on C4. So the clerk's office conducted the unannounced audit of the cash funds in central permitting. It was completely clean. No findings or suggestions. Even the forms were all up to date and filled out properly. So, Shalit Sherman, if you could tell your team and pass on our appreciation
for their great work that they did. And thank you to their clerk for all the efforts and work you did too. One last thing trying to get through it before we I don't see the Senator here now. Oh he is oh there he is. Hi Okay, real quick. Um just two last things. United States Premier Hockey League season has come to an end. That was a great event at um Advent Health Center ICE. Um Just a large number of teams that put in about 4,500 room nights here in Pasco County before
because of them being here. Um they stayed at Saddlebrook and Saddlebok, obviously as you know, whether it be Saddlebrook or any of our other hoteliers, um, they were this was a very big need for them to have these heads and beds. Um I spoke to the league commissioner. I dropped a puck one day. They're great people. They're very, very thankful to Pasco County for staying open. And that's what he said. I sat right to we were sitting in a meeting with him. And he said, Thank you. Thank the governor. Thank the rest of the commissioners and all the
county employees for staying open so we could come here. Because if you weren't open, We don't know what we would do. And there was a couple other options but they preferred to be here in Florida and be in Pasco County. So we're very, very grateful for them. Um I talked to some of the kids too went around. They're like, Well, you don't want to go back to the north. We want to stay in Florida. Well, we would love that we would love to have you here year round. Uh I was gonna talk about the CRA thing, but I'm gonna go ahead since the senator's here we'll we'll move on and maybe I'll just throw that back out at you at you guys after a good break.
Thank you.
