THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT AND THE BUILDING CODE SERVICES DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
It is the policy of the Board of County Commissioners to offer building code services to local municipalities that seek to either supplement their building departments or transfer permitting responsibilities to the County in a full service arrangement. For those municipalities who do not convene their own Unsafe Structures Board, they can contract with Building Code Services Division (BCSD) to have their cases researched and presented to the County’s Minimum Housing/Unsafe Structures Board at set rates to cover the costs of service.
The following municipalities have an agreement with BCSD to provide representation before the Unsafe Structures Board: Cooper City, Dania Beach, Deerfield Beach, Lauderdale by the Sea, Lauderdale Lakes, Lighthouse Point, Miramar, North Lauderdale, Parkland, Pembroke Park, Tamarac, West Park, Weston, and Wilton Manors.
The Interlocal Agreement (Exhibit 2) with the Town of Hillsboro Beach (Town) is for representation at hearings before the Broward County Minimum Housing/Unsafe Structures Board. The terms of the agreement includes BCSD invoicing the Town on a monthly basis for actual services provided and the Town reimbursing the County within 30 days of the date of the invoice. The Town’s Commission Resolution 2017-901 authorizes the execution of this agreement (Exhibit 3).
The County Attorney’s Office has approved this Agreement as to form.
