Broward County Commission Regular Meeting

MOTION TO ADOPT Resolution No. 2018-069 directing the County Administrator to publish Notice of Public Hearing to be held on Tuesday, April 10, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., in Room 422 of the Governmental Center to consider adoption of a proposed Resolution Amending the Administrative Code, the title of which is as follows:
 
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, PERTAINING TO THE BROWARD COUNTY CLIMATE CHANGE TASK FORCE; REPEALING RESOLUTIONS 2008-442 AND 2008-616, WHICH CREATED THE CLIMATE CHANGE TASK FORCE AND AMENDED MEMBERSHIP, RESIDENCY, AND VACANCY PROVISIONS; CREATING PART III, SECTIONS 12.22 THROUGH 12.25, OF CHAPTER 12 OF THE BROWARD COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE ("ADMINISTRATIVE CODE"); CODIFYING THE CLIMATE CHANGE TASK FORCE, AND ADDRESSING ATTENDANCE, NOMINATION, AND MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS; AND PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, INCLUSION IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

ACTION:  (T-11:01 AM)  Approved.

VOTE:  9-0.

The Broward County Charter requires the posting of notice and a public hearing for adoption of amendments to the County Administrative Code. The Resolution addresses one of the entities that was excluded from the February 6, 2018, Ordinance and Resolution that addressed numerous entities as a result of periodic sunset review.

Amends the Administrative Code to implement staff recommendations approved by the Board.

In 2016, the Board of County Commissioners (the "Board"), through the Intergovernmental Affairs/Boards Section ("IABS"), conducted a review of all existing Broward County boards, authorities, and agencies pursuant to the Sunset Ordinance, Section 1-244, et seq., of the Broward County Code of Ordinances (the process is called "Sunset Review"). As a result of the Sunset Review, IABS recommended to the Board that certain boards, authorities, and agencies be "retained with changes," while others should be "sunsetted."  On August 22, 2017, the Board directed the Office of the County Attorney to prepare proposed documents to effectuate IABS's recommendations.  Upon review, the Office of the County Attorney determined that the Climate Change Task Force had never been formally codified into the Administrative Code. This agenda item codifies the Task Force and addresses the other IABS recommendations that were previously approved by the Board.
