Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The Board of County Commissioners of Pasco County is considering a resolution to declare the week of May 16-22, 2026, as National Safe Boating Week in Pasco County. This action is planned and aims to raise awareness about boater safety through education and training. The resolution highlights the importance of life-saving tips, emergency equipment, life jacket use, safety courses, and sober operation of vessels. While this is a resolution and not a construction project, it supports ongoing community efforts by groups like the Hudson Flotilla 11-7, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, which offers boating safety classes and vessel checks. Businesses involved in marine safety, training, or related services may find opportunities to align with or support this community awareness initiative.
