Pursuant to Section 15-194 of the Broward County Code of Ordinances, the Broward County Board of County Commissioners (“Board”) has the power and authority at any time to abolish the Authority by ordinance. After the proposed Ordinance is drafted, it will return to the Board to set a public hearing.
