Member Sal Perry presented a granite sample and said the size under consideration is similar to the existing plaque and that the vendor quoted about $116 for that size. Committee members discussed mounting options — either flush-mounted in the ground (as the current plaque is) or mounted on a stand — and expressed a preference for a flush mount to withstand weather and storms. Members also asked staff to obtain a proof showing the Centennial logo and proposed lettering, and to offer a few granite color options so the wording remains legible.

Why it matters: The plaque will mark the Centennial time capsule and is intended to be durable and legible for decades. Committee members asked staff to obtain proofs and vendor lead times so the plaque can be ordered and installed well ahead of the capsule closing date.

Next steps: Staff will request proofs from vendors, including color and layout options, and circulate proofs to the committee for final approval. Members noted the purchase will likely take several weeks for production and delivery.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Centennial Committee Meeting 04.15.2025","oneSentenceSummary","Members agreed on a granite plaque design for the Centennial time capsule marker and directed staff to obtain proofs and vendor pricing; the size discussed matches the existing plaque and was estimated at about $116 for that size.","taxTitle","Port Richey City, Pasco County, Florida","taxId",54783,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6273728,"Committee outlines rules, registration steps for Port Richey fishing tournament; captain’s meeting to finalize details",0,2611000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2997567-6250905881e4fbd7ddd05b6c00dd16d6&start=2611&end=2611","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2997567-6250905881e4fbd7ddd05b6c00dd16d6/thumbnail_2611000.jpg","/articles/6273728/Port-Richey-City/Pasco-County/Florida/Committee-outlines-rules-registration-steps-for-Port-Richey-fishing-tournament-captains-meeting-to-finalize-details","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273728-8f987d7918c959ac816d1416a182ef4e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770612732&Signature=EtYFJBujJZw9mXcZsKis7XecmkHRqbeRFYXdX8~yDpLH4rxhiB~LFPuLYolU~gCDtNhrU6XwjanbxtXo7AiUlgYy25~MgG91jn~ClAxsk9QgxeS4C-6gtDnwehGbNDTlrUd7jB4xzh36bSDVImR~~bsqH27~OZupLDxB-eylpZeEZ1lI7uZIhBQERhZuvY8AFx-TfEH03VxvflDjuizPcWXsrQdybyom8~i2ZtG4Zrb6z5bVW2hdkzKj9Kd6s7TrIwDz2JOsV34vE~gaQtjvTd8ERADpEwkRGmohm6Za6hHrXKNgLRguxfr7c-dy4CA0Infvu58fJsPPJZhN2FpbiA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Committee discussion clarified how the Centennial fishing tournament will be structured and how participants will register and be verified.

Key points recorded in the meeting:
- Entry fee: $150 per vessel entry (the fee as discussed covers a boat entry; the boat can include up to four people). The committee noted solo anglers may enter but the fee remains the same.
- Kayak entries: Committee members recommended that kayak entries be limited to two kayaks per entry (teams of two boats); tandem kayaks that carry two people were discussed as allowable. The committee discouraged allowing four separate kayaks as a single entry because that would give a competitive advantage by covering more area.
- Motorized vs. unmotorized vessels: The committee discussed parity. The working idea was to treat motorized one‑vessel entries separately from unmotorized vessels; two unmotorized boats could be permitted per entry. The group said mixed entries where one team member is on a motorboat and another on a kayak should be treated as separate entries, to avoid unfair advantage.
- Captain’s meeting: Organizers will hold a captain’s meeting before the event to explain ground rules, distribute a passcode (to prevent staged catches), explain measuring-stick photo requirements and confirm photo/video submission procedures for verification.
- Equipment and verification: The committee ordered measuring sticks and will require the measuring stick be visible in catch photos/videos; organizers will also affix stickers and share a passcode at the captain’s meeting to prevent pre‑event submissions.

Why it matters: These rules affect fairness and logistics for participants and shape registration and contest administration. Committee members emphasized that final rule adoption should occur at the captain’s meeting so competitors agree to the specific format for scoring and disputes.","Members discussed entry fees, boat and kayak configurations, measuring sticks, registration process and captain’s‑meeting rules for an upcoming fishing tournament tied to the centennial events; committee recommended limiting kayak teams to two boats per entry and leaving final rule adoption to the captain’s meeting.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6273733,"Port Richey advisory committee approves $200 increase for fishing‑tournament snack budget",63,2045000,2108000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2997567-6250905881e4fbd7ddd05b6c00dd16d6&start=2045&end=2108","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2997567-6250905881e4fbd7ddd05b6c00dd16d6/thumbnail_2045000.jpg","/articles/6273733/Port-Richey-City/Pasco-County/Florida/Port-Richey-advisory-committee-approves-200-increase-for-fishingtournament-snack-budget","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273733-8c63cfb3a615b088dded26170f419dca/orig.mp4?Expires=1770612732&Signature=C2IM88PQxtw0aitARmmZqcEiXuDj9BRUL0o0rxZan~zgbzGB5kJmOr5dtnZeM~5nSIdBBx2X0zESXShj1~EqDg6XmZ4-sc~TSIC2YmeSEYCmujtpiqdK0wyiUEoEHJwKooKDt6y~B~o5nl6qI99mxx3IZ8AtInrlLgk1kKtv9KVPX4Em2olECTaVa8zatFKhXG4GnBdPifD9vPgLG8CJ85KEFqHwAyxBmZPIcFWzBRbe4TNvx7Nle6UUxmBb2ew0GADVW5y2EVRArNypXQaW0pML7xqn8wdDg8eKkSJlBblzXNkM9m8T6GcxcAE4T1AAakxCIKoMVBjUiAHFmdzOZg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Port Richey Citizens Advisory Committee voted to increase the snack budget for the fishing tournament’s giveaway bags by $200, raising the allocation from $400 to $600.

A committee member moved to increase the snack allocation and a second was recorded; the chair called for the vote and members signaled assent. Chairman John Eric Hoover announced, “Motion carries,” after committee members voiced “aye.”

Why it matters: The snack funding supports giveaway bags being prepared for tournament participants (organizers estimated making about 40–50 bags initially, with materials bought in bulk). Committee members discussed procurement options — using city purchasing (credit card or invoice), having staff pick up items, or letting volunteers purchase and submit receipts — and recommended coordinating purchases through staff to simplify accounting.

Committee discussion also covered related event purchases: measuring sticks for fish measurement have been ordered, sponsors contributed water and other items, and staff and volunteers will finalize how bags are assembled and distributed at the tournament. The committee directed staff to coordinate payment and to provide invoices or receipts to reconcile the expense line.","Committee voted to raise the Centennial events snack budget for fishing‑tournament giveaway bags by $200, bringing the line item to $600 to cover snacks and related supplies.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6273737,"Port Richey committee schedules drum circle during centennial festival; performer to be booked",707,191000,898000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2997567-6250905881e4fbd7ddd05b6c00dd16d6&start=191&end=898","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2997567-6250905881e4fbd7ddd05b6c00dd16d6/thumbnail_191000.jpg","/articles/6273737/Port-Richey-City/Pasco-County/Florida/Port-Richey-committee-schedules-drum-circle-during-centennial-festival-performer-to-be-booked","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273737-b60d317cd9b29cab38e98db22c1014e3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770612732&Signature=N1BT10P2hzmsmnrXdvU0VflletVWg1clIIVHaX-E1cPnFX-hWTuxmnWIYTXWNVb7QGBYsoAQWp3~ztjInyFpnxrqGhyxmA~KN7fHds-ftNegK1ZCUk2vAvl6FO0ajY7D14wdy-PubdJ4uMLwZUq-pE9rMlNuNiCmeYMpkrD1FINK-nHu2KxF5rk-tYyc8~9u2WlWomDo0Xc3FFs8UTofjI2DTyiKSEnOETw1y9x4i8HUo9KdFHM0fZtRSl3jttdWzdU5~ixMwhvJneXQZ2USnQL5Q8C-LBo5anLc73bgbz5BZ0U5bW-vya7qS~zVNbJqyUIefH-LMIoAIHX-Jd8dCQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Port Richey Citizens Advisory Committee agreed to add a community drum circle to the city’s Centennial Festival, scheduling the performance for Saturday the 17th from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Waterfront Park.

Committee member and public commenter Laurie Simpson proposed the event and said she had secured performer Ishmael Delgado, who leads drum circles in Palm Harbor and Dunedin. Simpson told the committee the performer quoted $150 and said she was prepared to cover that fee herself; committee members raised no objection to covering the fee out of the event budget if needed.

Why it matters: The drum circle is planned as a family-friendly entertainment element meant to expand the festival’s offerings beyond the parade, concert and fireworks. Committee discussion addressed timing so the drum circle would not compete with the scheduled Johnny Cash tribute (6–9 p.m.) and fireworks and to give people a reason to stay in the park for the whole evening.

Committee members and staff discussed logistics: the event will be placed near the dog-park side of Waterfront Park where there is more shade, the performer will bring extra drums for public participation, and food trucks and vendors will remain in the park. Simpson said she can supply about 20 chairs and encouraged attendees to bring their own; staff said vendor hours would run roughly 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. and that chair rental could be sourced from local rental companies if needed. The committee confirmed the drum circle is on the event flyer and website and instructed staff and the festival leads to finalize layout and timing as they coordinate the DJ, concert and fireworks launch time.

The committee left booking to Simpson and staff to finalize logistics, including vendor application cutoffs, vendor spacing and coordination with the fire department on fireworks timing.","Members agreed to include a community drum circle by performer Ishmael Delgado in the city’s centennial events program, scheduling it for the festival’s Saturday program and advancing logistics including chairs, vendor layout and publicity.","actionData","errors"]
