On August 22, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners approved the 2016 Sunset Review Recommendations and directed the County Attorney's Office (CAO) to prepare the Ordinance and Administrative Code changes to enact the Recommendations.

On February 6, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners enacted Ordinance 2018-09, which enacted the Sunset Review Recommendations for various boards within the Broward County Code of Ordinances. Under the Sunset Review Recommendations, the membership of the Living Wage Advisory Board (LWAB) was amended. The LWAB is comprised of nine members who are District specific appointments.

Specific categories call for a categorical draw and this item provides the draw for the following members:

Each Commissioner will draw one "position" out of the envelope containing slips of paper that will indicate the category, current appointee's name (where applicable), and appointing commissioner (where applicable), date the current appointee's term expires (if applicable) or simply "Vacant." Each commissioner will write his or her name on the slips drawn to assign the position to the appropriate Commission District. Staff will thereafter announce the categorical selection publicly and the Board will vote to accept the categorical draw.

After the draw is concluded, staff will prepare and deliver a chart containing the final results of the categorical draw. Consistent with the Commission's policy, categories drawn by each Commissioner will be permanently assigned to the Commission District for future appointments until the Commission holds a new categorical draw for the LWAB.

Once categories are selected, appointments to fill those positions will be handled in the same manner as other board appointments.
