Public comment period and citizen comments
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.

Here. Now is the time for public comment. Citizens are given an opportunity to comment on any item coming before the board on or item. for the board and on items to be in a future board agenda or other business under their preview. Today's public comment will be handled as follows. First, we will take public comment from those who are here in person. Then we would take public comment from those who have been pre-registered
on WebEx Link and are currently on queue. This format does not weigh the request that when you address the board, comments are not directed personally against a commissioner or team member, but rather directed to the issue. And this provides mutual respect between the board members and the public. For WebEx in in-person Participants, after stating your name and address for the clerk, the timer will sound. You will
be
You'll be uh the timer will be activated and we'll start a countdown. After two minutes, a beep will sound, letting you know that you have one minute remaining. After the after time is up, two beeps will sound and three minute that means your three minutes have passed and wish for you to complete your comments.
So WebEx produce will be uh
automatically uh their time will stop at three minutes and they will be cut off. All right. Do we have someone
signed up? We have uh in person uh Janie Dombrowski. Yeah.

Janine Domrowski, [address removed]. I'm here today to follow up on that email that I sent you. I haven't returned returned uh you haven't returned any of the you know, called me or um I sent me. Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't hear you.
And send you an email with my information and we'd have coffee and you look forward to working with me. Okay. And I never heard anything back. So I came to give you my business card. That way you just call me.
My assistants right back there who should have entered answered your email. Derek, stand up. Um please get with her because and set up
a meeting. Yeah, I do want to. Great, I appreciate that. Yeah, it was a long drive to make that happen. Um also too, um I there's uh some issues that I noticed on social media with a woman that was stalked in Starkey Park uh by men. Um she was very distraught. Um it's a very detailed story. I know that she is not making it up. Um She was warning other women that go to Starkey Park. Also, in Tampa, there was a bus stop that was full
of immigrants to be released. So again, as a same as last week or last two weeks, it's getting worse. We can see it getting worse. Also concerned about the missing people, the people that go missing and the last. of investigation that's being done. There was a mom that was missing for about three months and not much of investigation was done and then she was found dead in Port Ritchie. Um and there was no follow up either as
far as the news goes, like what happened to her, how she died, what the circumstances are. Um I just m God is leading my heart and this is a problem here in Pasco County. And um if we don't do anything, it's just gonna get worse. And it could be your child, it could be your grandchild, it could be your wife. I mean, I shouldn't be scared to go to Starkey Park. But now I am. This woman was stalked by two men. Do we need to have security? That we we need to solve these problems. These need to be very, very
important for everyone. I don't care about all the building. We care about human lives. Thank you. Um can do
you mind giving me your card too? Do you have two? I just want to look up your and then please meet with Derek in the back.
Calling A Sorry.

Okay. So we did have one person that called us that they're running late, but uh they're not here at this time. If they come shortly we may come back to it just for that person to speak. But just ask if there's anybody that has to be. Does anybody in the audience wish to speak that did not sign up?
What's the Seeing no one this time we will close uh public comment We'll move on to our consent agenda. Okay.
