Broward County commissioners voted 8-1 to pass a $9.2 billion budget, which includes the largest investment in public safety in the county's history. The commission also approved a flat 5.6 millage rate. The budget allocates $27.7 million to the Affordable Housing Trust and increases public safety funding by $39 million through salary adjustments and raises for detention deputies.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The approval of the budget and the millage rate sets the fiscal framework for the county, which is located within Fort Lauderdale. Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis warned that if voters approve the state’s Amendment 3 to increase the homestead exemption, the commission may need to adjust the millage rate, potentially leading to service cuts or layoffs.
