   [00:00:41] I'm sorry Mr. Mayor, if you'll allow me to start. I'm actually asking you to do two things at this meeting, and the first is to waive the 24 hour written notice provision for special meetings of the City Council. [00:01:07] And the second is to declare a local state of emergency in response to the impacts that were associated with the strong low pressure system that traveled through the city and across the state of Florida yesterday. [00:01:26] I'd like separate motions if we could. [00:01:30] I'll move to waive the notice provisions due to the special circumstances. [00:01:37] I'll second. [00:01:40] Aye. [00:01:45] The second one is to declare the local state of emergency so that the city can apply for funds for some of the emergency and aid that is available through FEMA for some of the expenses associated with our preparation for and recovery from the incident. [00:02:14] Incidents related to the low pressure system that went through the city yesterday. [00:02:20] I'll move we declare a local state of emergency due to the storm on January 9th. [00:02:27] I'll second. [00:02:29] Mr. Mayor, before you roll call, may I read the title to the resolution? [00:02:34] This is resolution number 202401, resolution by the City Council of the City of New Port Richey, Florida, declaring a local state of emergency due to the impacts associated with the strong low pressure system that moved across the state of Florida on January 9th, 2024, and declaring an effective date. [00:02:51] And we will accept the motion as a motion to approve this resolution. [00:02:56] I would recommend you open up to the public that's here if there's any public comment on it. [00:03:06] You already have a motion. [00:03:12] Aye.
