This document outlines agenda items for the Opioid Task Force meeting on June 9, 2026. Two primary new business items are presented: 1) Pasco County Fire Rescue's Year 3 Change in Scope, requesting approval to amend the project scope to allow for the acquisition of a capital asset (a vehicle), with a total awarded amount for Year 3 of $1,102,000.32 and a requested allocation of $140,367.32 for the vehicle. 2) The Pasco County Gap Analysis Final Report from the University of South Florida's Department of Behavioral Health Science and Practice, which assesses community strengths, service gaps, barriers to care, and strategic opportunities related to mental health, substance use, and homelessness. The report highlights significant behavioral health and social service needs compounded by population growth, housing instability, workforce shortages, and transportation barriers. Public comment is not explicitly detailed for these agenda items, but the Gap Analysis report includes findings from stakeholder interviews, listening sessions, and community surveys indicating broad concern about behavioral health, homelessness, and access to services, with specific needs identified for housing, transportation, and workforce expansion.
