• Pasco BOCC Looks into Adding Third Monthly Meeting (hernandosun.com) — Pasco commissioners are weighing a possible third monthly meeting, which could change how and when residents in New Port Richey can speak on land use and other issues, though a final decision was delayed. The board also approved rezonings, a new senior housing site, and a major Moon Lake sidewalk project, while debating school resource officer funding and sheriff's insurance costs.
   

• Pasco County Spice Club: Free Nutmeg Kits (centralfloridalifestyle.com) — New Port Richey home cooks can snag a free nutmeg-themed spice kit this November at the Regency Park Branch library on Little Road, with registration opening October 4.
