# 9.29.26 Board of County Commissioners Special Meeting

The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners held a special meeting on September 29, 2026, to receive an update on the regional dengue outbreak and the county’s response. Emergency Management, the Department of Health, and the Mosquito Control District reported two confirmed local cases in Pasco, additional cases under investigation, and expanded surveillance, source reduction, larval and adult mosquito treatment, and public education. Officials said the response could continue into November or December and may require additional personnel, equipment, aircraft capability, mosquito-control products, surveillance resources, and operational funding; no specific purchases, contracts, or dollar amounts were presented. Solid Waste said it would expand tire drop-off areas and offer a tire amnesty program, though no start date or cost was specified.

The board unanimously ratified Resolution 26-407, declaring a local state of emergency related to dengue, originally issued September 23, 2026. The resolution enables a coordinated response; no separate spending authorization or procurement award was identified.
