On August 14, 2018, the Board approved an Interlocal Agreement Regarding the City of Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency among Broward County, the City of Pompano Beach (“City”), the Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (“CRA”), the North Broward Hospital District, and the Children’s Services Council of Broward County (“Interlocal Agreement”).
The Interlocal Agreement enabled the County, the City, and the CRA to address persistent slum and blight in the residential district of the CRA, while also settling the then-pending litigation, Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, et al. v. Broward County, 17th Judicial Circuit Court Case No. 14-009654 (18). Consistent with the stipulation filed as required in the Interlocal Agreement, the court has dismissed the lawsuit in its entirety with prejudice.
The original delegation of authority by the County to the City in 1981 was broadly worded and did not specifically enunciate certain authorities or certain limits, which contributed to the disputed issues in the litigation. As part of the Interlocal Agreement settling the litigation, the parties agreed to adopt resolutions adopting the terms of the Interlocal Agreement, reaffirming more specifically the powers of the City and the CRA, and specifying the required termination date of the Northwest District of the CRA. The Interlocal Agreement requires that the County and the City adopt the agreed-upon Resolutions within sixty (60) days after the approval of the Interlocal Agreement. The proposed Resolution complies with the requirements of the Interlocal Agreement.
