    Board Meeting. Four new items have been added to the agenda. These consist of: Transportation Funding
    opportunities, Opioid Addiction appropriation activities, Public Safety Grant Program funding, and the
    support of legislation to prohibit FEMA from de-obligating previously awarded disaster funds for projects
    that have been certified as complete by the state for at least three years.

  • Media Relations and Communications: So far this year, unsolicited media contacts are up 60% over last year
    which indicates an established level of trust in Pasco County as a reliable source of information relevant to

  • Customer Service: The results of a third party employee survey showed that the Customer Service depart-
    ment has the highest level of employee engagement in the entire organization. This translates into the best

Economic Growth
  • Welbilt Inc. (NYSE: WBT), a leading commercial foodservice equipment manufacturer, will enlarge their presence
    in Pasco County by adding an additional 42,000 square feet of laboratory, test kitchen space, and an improved
    customer experience center. This capital investment expansion will add more than $10 million annually in Gross
    County Product and create new 110 jobs. These new positions are expected to pay an average of $69,000 per year
    which will exceed 200% of the average annual wage in Pasco County (2017). This project was made possible with
    an Economic Incentive Agreement in the amount of $650,000 through collaboration efforts of the Pasco County
    Office of Economic Growth and the Pasco Economic Development Council.

“Welbilt is very pleased to be expanding our presence and extending our long-term commitment to the state of Florida
and Pasco County. The thriving business climate created by the state and local governments, along with the availability
of a highly-educated workforce, excellent universities and great infrastructure, are among the key factors contributing
to the success of this area,” said Hubertus Muehlhaeuser, President and Chief Executive Officer, Welbilt Inc.

Fiscal Services
  •   The Central Permitting office is transitioning all Developer Credit account activity directly into the Pasco Permitting
      System. This process will increase Developer Credit account accuracy, transparency, provide overdraft protection,
      current account balances, and transaction history.

Code Compliance
  •   Code Enforcement met their target of responding to citizen requests within 7 business days, meeting this target
      was the goal of our reorganization proposal for fiscal year 2018.

Building Construction Services
  • Unlicensed Contractors Program -Notable Enforcement: On 02/06/2018, Detective Souto went by 37422 SR 54W
    Zephyrhills. Det. Souto saw several persons working on this building where no permit had been issued. Det. Souto
    contacted James Russell, Unlicensed Contractor investigator, and the team met with a licensed contractor, Sid Pomp.
    Mr. Pomp said his client, Trent Goss, calls him when he gets into this kind of trouble. It was learned Goss Invest-
    ments purchased this property in September 2017. The building was completely renovated, including new a/c and
    ductwork, plumbing, electrical and sheetrock. Furthermore, it was discovered Goss Investments and their associate,
    SKS Management, have spent over $500K during the past calendar year at the Zephyrhills Home Depot store. Goss
    Investments owns Palm Tree Acres and Sunnyside Mobile Home Park, both in Zephyrhills. On February 12, 2018
    Det. Souto, James Russell, and Sam Lackey, visited these two parks and 8 stop work orders were issued. Many mobile
    homes were in various stage of rehabilitations and no permits had been applied for nor issued.

  isolated water systems. This was accomplished without any issues or interruptions of water supply to our customers.

   • The long needed, sand and grit cleaning project, has been initiated at the Embassy Hills Wastewater Treatment
        Plant. Completing this project will result in significantly increasing the processing capacity of the plant.
   • The Wastewater trainee program has been a great success and to-date has produced six qualified wastewater

    • Installed a new pressure control valve on the pipe assembly at the Wesley Wastewater Treatment Plant to
         improve the operational capability of the Pasco County Master Reuse System (PCMRS). This new valve results in

Public Works
• A contract to perform County wide major drainage maintenance is out for bid with a bid opening date of April, 2018.
  In prior years, Public Works utilized contracts such as this to maintain drainage, ditches, ponds etc. that had not been
  maintained for 50 years or more. The addition of this crew for the next three years will greatly improve drainage in
  the County.
• Flooding in the Meadow Brook Estates neighborhood located east of the Suncoast and South of SR 54 has been
  ongoing for many years. A major drainage ditch through the neighborhood stopped at the edge of the development.
  With the development occurring in the area the Storm water Division has obtained an easement over property outside
  Meadow Brook Estates and a contract to complete the ditch to a wetland is out for bid. This will help alleviate flooding
  in the neighborhood.
• The Department had been working with the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) on a potential major project in the
  Pithlachascotee and Anclote (PACE) watersheds to reduce flooding. During Debbie in 2012 major evacuation routes,
  e.g. SR 54 were flooded and closed. This project was to address this issue. Unfortunately the program the ACOE was
  operating under had a monetary cap of $10,000,000 and the project was going to exceed that cap so it was ended. This
  month Congressman Bilirakis sent a letter to the ACOE requesting that they include funding for the PACE project in
  a program without a cap. If approved this will restart the ACOE efforts on the PACE project.

An example of the type of major maintenance performed previously and anticipated with the new major maintenace
contractor:

                                Gainsboro Pond - Before                                                Gainsboro Pond - After

Upcoming Events:
•   The Great American Cleanup – Saturday, April 18th from 8:00 AM to 12:00 p.m., at Pasco Palms Preserve (Parking
    at Eagle Point Park). For more information email kking@pascocountyfl.net or call (727) 856-7252.

    on February 19th, and has already demonstrated himself to be a tremendous asset to the organization,” said Fire
    Chief Scott Cassin. This new position will be dedicated to public information dissemination as a measure to improve

    for our Pasco pets.

    ferrets over the age of four months to have a rabies vaccination? Pasco County Ordinance also requires that all dogs
    and cats be licensed in the county and must wear their current license tags. If your pets are due for rabies vaccination
    and licensing then this is a good time to get caught up on both. No appointment needed. Just come to the shelter
    for our low cost rabies vaccine and microchip clinic held every Wednesday at the Land O Lakes shelter from 9:00
    a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

   owned by the Division of Forestry but leased by ranchers. Using Best Management Practices, provided by the Exten-

   benefitted the rancher and helped the Division of Forestry and Pasco ELAMP better manage the property.
 • Family and Consumer Sciences food safety trainings for restaurant employees were held in February. The One-Stop

Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources

    and provoke community dialogue. Stay tuned for the next cultural event in the series debuting in May. (District 4)
  • The PRNR team is working through the administrative responsibilities with respect to renegotiating the lease agree-
    ment with SunWest Park. A revised agreement, designating PRNR to take over park operations, is expected to be

    the agreement with the Public Infrastructure Branch. (District 4)
  • The PRNR team received approval, from the Army Corps of Engineers, for approval of alternative wetland mitigation

    Lands Acquisition and Management Program (ELAMP) and Project Management, the project protects 70 acres of
    environmentally sensitive lands along the Hillsborough River. (District 1)

    available for the relocation of tortoises from all County construction projects. It is anticipated that this will provide

    ting and expects to receive the permit this summer. (Countywide)
