A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, PERTAINING TO THE INDEPENDENT ANNUAL AUDIT; AMENDING SECTION 18.61 OF THE BROWARD COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE ("ADMINISTRATIVE CODE"), REGARDING THE ENGAGEMENT OF AN AUDITOR AND SELECTION PROCEDURES; AND PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, INCLUSION IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

The Broward County Charter requires the posting of notice and a public hearing for adoption of amendments to the County Administrative Code.

This Resolution amends Section 18.61 of the Broward County Administrative Code, pertaining to the external auditor selection committee.

This proposed amendment updates Section 18.61 of the Administrative Code to be compliant with Florida Statutes.
