Broward County Commission Regular Meeting

MOTION TO CONSIDER enactment of an Ordinance, the title of which is as follows:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, PERTAINING TO ELEVATORS; AMENDING SECTION 8½-16(aa) OF THE BROWARD COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES ("CODE") TO CORRECT A SCRIVENER'S ERROR AND CLARIFY LANGUAGE REGARDING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS OF PROVISIONS RELATED TO DOCUMENTATION OF ELEVATOR SERVICE; AND PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, INCLUSION IN THE CODE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
 

(Sponsored by the Board of County Commissioners)

ACTION:  (T-11:28 AM)  Filed proof of publication and enacted the Ordinance to become effective as provided by law.

VOTE:  9-0.

A Resolution directing the County Administrator to publish notice of public hearing to consider enactment of the Ordinance was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners at its meeting of February 27, 2018.

Amends the Code to correct the scrivener's error and to add clarity.

On September 15, 2016, the Board enacted Ordinance No. 2016-24, pertaining to documentation of elevator service visits. The Office of the County Attorney recently discovered that the Ordinance contained a scrivener's error, directing readers to an incorrect section number within the Broward County Code of Ordinances. This amendment corrects the scrivener's error, and adds some clarity to the penalties provision.
