- Oakley and Weightman reports on county business
Weightman Coming a long way. It uh Pasco has seemingly become a medical hugby with Moffitt coming in and these new hospitals. So it's it's it's really nice to see these significant businesses coming in to help create a good quality life for us. Next up, the follow-up on conversation last week with the Wesley Chapel District Park and Soccer Field. and everything associated with that. No Parks is working with uh West Chapel Athletic Association and the other entity that's looking to to take advantage of those of those those fields.

I think it's it's just better that we we we start looking at this. situation from a more of a procurement perspective because it's a it's a significant county asset and we need to make sure that we're managing that county asset for the best interests of our community.
