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

Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

Janine Duffy

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

Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair
