Broward County Commission Regular Meeting

MOTION TO ADOPT Resolution No. 2018-048 directing the County Administrator to publish Notice of Public Hearing to be held on Tuesday, March 20, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., in Room 422 of the Governmental Center to consider enactment of a proposed 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-10:50 AM)  Approved.  (See the Yellow-Sheeted Additional Material, dated Tuesday, February 27, 2018, submitted at the request of the Office of the County Attorney.)
 
VOTE: 7-0.  Commissioner Holness appeared telephonically and voted in the affirmative.  Commissioners Geller and LaMarca appeared telephonically but were inaudible during the vote.

The proposed Ordinance was prepared by the Office of the County Attorney to correct a scrivener's error in the penalties provision.

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.
