[00:05:30] Second one is the Alcohol Awareness and Talk 21 month. [00:05:36] That is also for the month of April. [00:05:40] And Ms. Myers, I believe we have some comments on this one. [00:05:43] Yes, we do, Mr. Mayor. [00:05:45] Kelly Rodriguez with the Pasco County Alliance for Substance Addiction Prevention, ASAP. [00:05:51] Email comments as she was not up to be here tonight to accept the parchment from you as usual. [00:05:57] And they are as follows. [00:06:00] Thank you to the New Port Richey City Council members. [00:06:02] And thank you to Mayor Marlow for sponsoring us to be here again this year. [00:06:06] Mothers Against Drunk Driving, MADD, and the Pasco Alliance for Substance Addiction Prevention, ASAP [00:06:12] Alcohol Initiatives Committee want to remind the community that April is Alcohol Awareness Month. [00:06:18] Our yearlong focus is to reduce impaired driving and underage drinking in Pasco County. [00:06:23] Eight years ago, MADD launched its Power of Parents program with a simple message to parents. [00:06:29] Talk now and talk often. [00:06:31] Today, this message is just as important as ever. [00:06:34] Studies continue to show that this critical conversation matters and that kids are listening to parents' message about alcohol and other drugs. [00:06:43] April is not the only opportunity parents have during the spring to talk with their kids about alcohol and other drugs. [00:06:50] Parents should take advantage of all opportunities to have these critical conversations, but should make a concerted effort in preparation for high-risk events like prom, spring break, and graduation, to name a few, when there is a high peer pressure for youth to drink alcohol and or use drugs. [00:07:08] This Power Talk 21, 2020, MADD launches updated resources and tools for educating parents. [00:07:14] Marijuana is changing the landscape of prevention and is more accessible today by youth than in previous years. [00:07:21] Additionally, we know so much more about the addictive and long-term impact of youth usage than we did when marijuana first grew in popularity in the 60s and 70s. [00:07:31] Now, MADD has added much of this new knowledge to the Power of Parents program to help parents not only talk with their youth about the dangers of underage drinking, but the dangers of early marijuana usage. [00:07:43] Parents matter and what parents say matters to youth.

[00:16:37] Mr. Rivera will present the agenda item. [00:16:44] Thank you. The request of staff for City Council is to review [00:16:47] and consider for approval the attached sole source proposal [00:16:51] from Xylem Water Solutions USA Incorporated [00:16:55] in the amount not to exceed $31,110.28. [00:17:00] This lift station pump is located in the Magnolia Valley subdivision. [00:17:05] The diagnostic testing revealed from staff that there were several [00:17:09] deficiencies that were identified when we [00:17:12] sent the pump to the vendor to give us an estimate [00:17:16] to repair. We were at a total of $38,641.43, [00:17:23] and that would be for a pump that currently is 26 years old. [00:17:27] So that's why we would recommend that you approve this sole source. [00:17:31] It's allowed under the City's financing purchasing guidelines, [00:17:35] and this brand of pump and the specs of this pump [00:17:39] are included in the City's utility standards. [00:17:44] Very good. Have we had any email comments in place? [00:17:47] No, Mayor. Do we have anybody on the phone? [00:17:50] In that case, we'll bring it back to Council. [00:17:55] Maker? Second? [00:17:59] Deputy Mayor? Comments on this, I'm thinking. Mr. Altman? [00:18:03] If you got 26 years, or somebody got 26 years out of that pump, [00:18:07] they got their money's worth, so big time. [00:18:12] If there's no further discussion, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:18:15] Aye. Aye. Opposed, like sign. Motion passes. [00:18:20] Aye.
