Resolution 25-162 — Water Conservation Month
\"A resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Pasco County, Florida declaring the month of April 2025 as Water Conservation Month in Pasco County\" was read into the record and approved by voice vote. The resolution text noted regional water-management efforts and county reclaimed-water operations. County utilities staff attending the meeting described customer rebate programs, reclaimed-water delivery, and public education materials.

Resolution 25-161 — National Donate Life Month
The board adopted a resolution declaring April 2025 as National Donate Life Month by voice vote; no substantive debate accompanied the adoption.

Consent agenda and pulled items
The consent agenda was approved after one item (C-27) was pulled for discussion and then returned for a vote. Item C-27 implements a partnership between Pasco County Fire Rescue's mobile integrated health program and Premier Community Healthcare Group to provide clinician-led referrals and on-site visits with community paramedics; county staff said the partnership will expand referrals for at-risk clients and allow clinicians to accompany paramedics on some visits.

Other actions
The board unanimously approved a motion to light county buildings purple in recognition of National Crime Victims' Rights Week in April. The board also approved county-funded tipping-fee reimbursements to address debris at Fairway Oaks; staff described the amounts as $44,700 and $84,784 for additional tipping fees and asked the board to authorize payment; the motion passed.

Why it matters: Resolutions are ceremonial but signal county priorities; the consent partnership expands options for community paramedicine and could affect how repeat emergency customers are served.

Votes and procedure: Most items were adopted by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies in the public portion of the transcript.

Ending: The board moved next to regular-agenda items and a budget workshop presentation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","3.25.25 Pasco Board of County Commissioners Meeting (Morning Session)","oneSentenceSummary","The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners adopted two proclamatory resolutions and approved consent-agenda items including a health partnership; commissioners also approved several routine requests and directed staff on follow-up items.","taxTitle","Pasco County, Florida","taxId",12581,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6275713,"Pasco budget staff warn of slower revenue growth, highlight jail and public-safety cost pressures",778,3800000,4578000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2768931-1c30cc4a07ba959c5e2be0a16e9930d0&start=3800&end=4578","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2768931-1c30cc4a07ba959c5e2be0a16e9930d0/thumbnail_3800000.jpg","/articles/6275713/Pasco-County/Florida/Pasco-budget-staff-warn-of-slower-revenue-growth-highlight-jail-and-public-safety-cost-pressures","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6275713-a3a94bf221f271f8cadcedec014f0310/orig.mp4?Expires=1770434601&Signature=VeCudgm83JbdLDiTR9w9kraNv7dLt5gNILeM6tEO~A3fI9wqtFzCQWeeuJmr4-GMCS8DtFG9TQWoOzh9zhnHpPi~FgFVlPlO~rpTnRGny-MxuPMW2i3cOQ90qt6QtMgTshd-sRKb0nkrXaVf2NmPa0mUKpMNrjz-~tDMKfOYZMFbldhnZ98edakz6LxCQY~0RQ~QemixHNfidsGk2Fr37ala~YlFcPESzbFrMQCvZ7ek4dAspoUu2CyqkeVfFYq-N-SznjLALKM8BnkDkKKrmnF3ICvwEEiJaviI0BdGoRD6rIm-F2BHJEUoliGKtMPc3e9dLcKcadA8OhFDoQuFew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pasco County budget officials told the Board of County Commissioners on March 25 that county revenues are likely to grow more slowly than in recent years and that the county will build conservative budgets while accounting for major public-safety and personnel costs.

\"We're entering this budget season very conservatively,\" Amy Farrell, budget director in the Office of Management and Budget, said. Farrell said staff are modeling three scenarios — 5%, 7% and 9% taxable-assessed-value growth — to stress-test the budget as they await preliminary assessed values.

Farrell gave a packet of data and described several revenue trends: new-home permits have shown a slight drop in late 2024 and early 2025, commercial and residential new-construction cycles remain variable, and recent double-digit assessment growth largely stemmed from revaluations and northern migration in prior years. Staff are not expecting the same double-digit revaluation growth in the coming cycle.

On other revenue lines, Farrell said staff project a modest 3% increase for the half-cent sales tax (about 10% of recurring general-fund revenue), a near-flat outlook for state county-revenue-sharing, and a small 2.2% rise in communications service tax despite a long-term downward trend. Farrell also discussed ambulance-fee revenue and said the projection in staff materials reflects a substantial increase compared with prior years.

Farrell and commissioners focused on expense pressures: the county is phasing staffing tied to a detention-center expansion (the first full year of D-shift expenses will fall in FY26), and Fire/Rescue station staffing adjustments will produce first full-year staffing costs in FY26 as well. Farrell warned that personnel, constitutional officer budgets, and elevated materials and supplies costs are applying upward pressure on the budget.

Why it matters: The presentation frames the county's budget path for the fiscal year and signals limited ability to expand services; commissioners indicated they want more detail on jail staffing and d‑shift costs and on progress with road projects and MSTU funding.

What happened next: Commissioners asked for one-on-one briefings and asked staff to return with further details during upcoming workshops; the county will present preliminary assessed values in June and final values in July before public hearings in September.

Ending: Farrell said staff will continue to monitor monthly revenue updates and present scenario outcomes to the board as the budget process progresses.

\"My family and I have a registered game bird farm off Tanglewood called Bontro Funny Farm,\" said Darby Troffe, who identified her address and described breeding quail, pheasant and chickens under sustainable practices. Troffe said she had been told her property was zoned AR but later found it is zoned ER and that she had received a citation for a rooster.

Troffe described steps she said she took to comply: annual blood testing of birds through the county's avian program, holding a limited poultry license that allows on-site butchering and sales, and moving her birds 1.5 acres away from a complaining neighbor after the citation. \"We have made efforts to follow every rule,\" she told commissioners.

Why it matters: The case highlights ambiguity residents sometimes face when zoning designations change or when new owners inherit undocumented structures or uses. Troffe said the farm provides eggs and education in her neighborhood and asked the county to find a way to allow her operation to continue.

What happened next: Troffe said she had reached out to county offices but was seeking board-level awareness; commissioners did not take immediate formal action but several asked staff to review the zoning and permitting history and to advise Troffe on next steps.

Ending: Troffe said she moved the birds to reduce impact on neighbors and will pursue staff guidance on permits or a potential zoning adjustment.

\"The Outfield builds on the success of the Catches Mitt, which launched in Clearwater in March of 2023,\" Daryl Henderson, advocacy director for the Recovery Epicenter Foundation, told the board. Henderson said the Clearwater program has provided a \"safe, cost free space for more than a thousand individuals\" and that more than 80% of participants have been linked to long-term recovery programs and housing solutions.

Henderson said The Outfield opened quietly on Feb. 17 with Pasco County opioid abatement board funding and a grant from BayCare and has since provided \"a safe landing for 30 people in crisis.\" He invited commissioners and the public to a grand-opening event on April 4 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the facility on Elsa Street in Newport Beach.

Why it matters: Peer respite centers provide short-term nonmedical support and a supervised, recovery-oriented environment that staff say can reduce emergency-room visits, prevent homelessness and connect people to longer-term services.

What happened next: Henderson told commissioners the foundation is exploring opening similar centers in Hernando, Manatee and Hillsborough counties. The commission did not take formal action on the announcement; Henderson thanked Pasco County for support.

Ending: The foundation plans a public tour and staff introductions at the April 4 event.

The petition was presented by Linda Farmer, who identified herself as a Shady Hills resident. \"We have submitted this petition to formally challenge the actions of Tom... regarding the excessive and unjustified reports for Pasco County enforcement,\" Farmer said, and told the board the petition includes \"over 200 citizens in Shady Hills.\" She asked for \"a full and transparent investigation\" and for dismissal of complaints she described as unjustified.

The petition was one of several public comments about code enforcement and local development. Sarah Gonzales, who said she has lived in part of Shady Hills since 2017, told commissioners repeated complaints have affected her family and described longstanding interactions with code staff. \"We have always worked with them. They've worked with us,\" Gonzales said, noting that repeated reporting led to enforcement at her home in 2020 and again last year.

Several other speakers described neighborhood problems they said need county attention — transient encampments, dumpsters and trash along Old Shady Hills Road, and increased truck traffic — and asked county staff to prioritize those issues. Steven Ivester said neighbors are more concerned about transient camps and environmental risks near an auto shop than some of the smaller property complaints that have been enforced.

At the podium, Tom Boglino — whom several speakers identified as the person at the center of complaints — gave a different account. Boglino thanked code enforcement for acting after his reports about illegally placed dumpsters and described the current response process: \"When there is a violation somebody calls it in ... the officer comes out, recognizes it, calls the garbage company ... and the [waste] is moved within a day. The citizen, the property owners [are] never even affected ... that's a good thing,\" he said.

Commissioners and staff asked that the matter be handled as a staff follow-up. County staff — Deputy David Allen was identified in the meeting — was asked to meet with residents who presented evidence and to have code enforcement review the complaints and the petition.

Why it matters: Residents said repeated enforcement actions and perceived inconsistent prioritization are affecting homeowners' finances and neighborhood relations. Commissioners agreed to have staff investigate the claims and to review the specific locations raised by speakers.

What happened next: Commissioner responses indicated staff would follow up. At the meeting's close, the chair asked staff to coordinate with residents and David Allen to arrange inspections and provide clarifications about the complaints and enforcement process.

Ending: The commission did not take a formal vote on the petition; staff were instructed to review and report back to the board.
","Residents of Shady Hills told the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners they are being harassed by repeated code-enforcement complaints they say were filed by a neighbor; one resident who has filed many complaints defended his actions, and county staff were asked to follow up.","actionData","errors"]
