Summary Explanation/Background
This action supports the Broward County Board of County Commissioners’ (“Board”) Value of “Building partnership and working collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives,” and the Goal of “Ensuring economic opportunities and a sustainable economy, with an emphasis on Broward’s lower and middle class.”
Port Everglades Tariff No. 12 (“Tariff”) provides the rules, regulations, and fees that govern the use of the facilities and services at Port Everglades that are not otherwise provided for in separate contractual agreements with Port Users. Port Everglades staff annually reviews and proposes revisions to the Tariff that include changes in Tariff rates and revisions to certain Tariff provisions governing operations at the Port. In addition to the proposed changes in rates, proposed revisions may include minor changes to Tariff items to reflect current information or practice, or to delete outdated language. Due to a recent change in Section 18.5.e. of the Broward County Administrative Code, Board direction is required for staff to complete the annual Tariff review.
The public hearing required for any proposed revisions to the Tariff would be completed in time to be effective as of October 1, 2026.
