County supports Gran Fondo
The Pasco County Commission has approved a sports event sponsorship agreement with Haute Route LLC, relating to the Gran Fondo Florida event. This year, the cycling event is scheduled to take place on March 23 and March 24 in San Antonio. The agreement calls for awarding up to $4,800 to support the event, which will be based on a rate of $12 per night per room, based on the actual number of room nights generated by the event in Pasco County.
The gran fondo format differs from other bike races, because it’s not a “start to finish” race. Instead, there are timed segments throughout the courses, which are used to calculate a rider’s competitive time.
Kevin Barber appointed
The Pasco County Commission has confirmed the recommendation from the Pasco-Hernando Workforce Board executive committee and has appointed Kevin Barber, representing Iron Workers Local 397, to the Pasco-Hernando Workforce Board.
Planning Commission terms
The Pasco County Commission has approved a resolution that specifies that the county’s Planning Commission will be appointed through staggered terms.

Members may be reappointed and member vacancies will be filled using the same manner as the original appointment. The resolution also establishes the annual election of a chairman and vice chairman for the planning board.
