A Resolution directing the County Administrator to publish notice of public hearing to consider adoption of the Resolution Amending the Administrative Code was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners at its meeting of March 20, 2018.

Amends the Administrative Code to implement staff recommendations approved by the Board resulting from mandatory periodic review of the Broward County Climate Change Task Force.

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 other IABS recommendations that were previously approved by the Board.
