Section 2.09 of the Broward County Charter and Section 1-245 of the Broward County Code of Ordinances ("Code") provide for the periodic review of all existing Broward County boards, authorities, and agencies. In 2016, the Board of County Commissioners ("Board"), through the Intergovernmental Affairs/Boards Section ("IABS"), conducted a review of all existing Broward County boards, authorities, and agencies pursuant to the Code ("Sunset Review"). As part of the Sunset Review, IABS provided the Board with numerous recommendations with respect to these boards, authorities, and agencies ("Sunset Recommendations"). On August 22, 2017, the Board directed the Office of the County Attorney to prepare the documents necessary to effectuate the Sunset Recommendations. The Sunset Recommendations have been implemented for all applicable boards, authorities, and agencies, except for three: the Homeless Continuum of Care Board, the Broward Regional Emergency Medical Services Council, and the Broward County Health Facilities Authority. The attached Ordinance will implement the Sunset Recommendations for the Broward County Health Facilities Authority.
On June 12, 2018, the Board directed the County Administrator to publish Notice of Public Hearing on August 14, 2018, to consider adoption of a proposed Resolution implementing the Sunset Recommendations for the Homeless Continuum of Care Board. County staff is still attempting to resolve the Broward Regional Medical Services Council's concerns with the Sunset Recommendations.
