Previous Action Taken
Summary Explanation/Background
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 Code (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. The documents included in this agenda item address all applicable boards, authorities, and agencies with the following five exceptions: 
  1. Through our review, we have determined that creation of the Climate Change Task Force had never been codified. Therefore, we are preparing a separate Resolution for the Board's consideration at an upcoming meeting to codify creation of the Climate Change Task Force, its composition, and to address the recommended changes. 
  2. We will prepare a proposed Ordinance to implement the recommended changes for the Broward County Health Facilities Authority after the members of that entity have had an opportunity to confer at their next meeting regarding IABS's recommendations. The entity's next meeting is expected to be scheduled for February 2018.
  3. On August 22, 2017, the Board also approved IABS's recommendations to generally amend portions of Section 1-233 of the Code relating to boards, authorities, and other agencies. We will prepare a proposed Ordinance addressing Section 1-233 for the Board's future consideration. 
  4. Changes to the Homeless Continuum of Care Board are being discussed with stakeholders, and an item addressing those changes is expected to be submitted to the Board within the next 30 days. 
  5. County staff is continuing to attempt to resolve the Broward Regional Emergency Medical Services Council's ("EMS Council's") opposition to IABS's recommendation to reduce the EMS Council's number of members.
