[00:00:26] The next and only item on the agenda is Resolution 2023-03. [00:00:33] Resolution by the City Council of the City of New Port Richey, Florida, declaring a local state of emergency due to Tropical Storm Nicole and declaring an effective date. [00:00:44] The purpose of the resolution is to, as indicated in the title, to declare a local state of emergency. [00:00:54] The local state of emergency would become effective as of 5 o'clock on Wednesday, November 9, 2022. [00:01:02] It would span for a seven-day period of time, with a provision to extend as necessary for additional seven-day periods of time. [00:01:13] The purpose of the resolution is to provide additional authority to the City Manager to enter into contracts to employ either temporary or permanent workers, [00:01:29] or to acquire any supplies or materials that may be necessary, or to do whatever else is prudent or necessary to ensure the life safety of the residents and protect the welfare of the community in general, in regard to the impending Tropical Storm Nicole. [00:01:55] And at this point, we're not certain of what our particular experience will be, but we're told that Tropical Storm winds are expected after midnight today, and that we should expect storm surge Thursday night if Tropical Storm Nicole moves into the Gulf, [00:02:22] and that from 7 a.m. through 2 o'clock p.m. on Tuesday, we should expect some significant wind gust experiences. [00:02:33] We will, as a City staff, continue to stay connected to the news and the most up-to-date information, but I can assure you that we have engaged fully our Emergency Operations Center, and from the City's perspective, we're fully engaged to respond should we have an experience in the City. [00:02:55] Thank you. Open it up for public comment. Seeing no one come forward, bring it back to Council. [00:03:00] Move for approval. [00:03:01] Second. [00:03:02] Maker? [00:03:03] No, good. [00:03:04] Second. [00:03:05] You mentioned the welfare and safety, but it's also for the protection of City property as well, right? [00:03:14] Of course it is. [00:03:15] Okay, thank you. [00:03:16] Thank you for asking, Mr. Deputy Mayor. [00:03:19] Councilwoman Altman? [00:03:20] No, I think caution is appropriate.
