Summary Explanation/Background
Section 31½-75 of the Broward County Code of Ordinances establishes the Transportation Surtax Oversight Board (“Oversight Board”), identifies the membership of the Transportation Surtax Oversight Board Appointing Authority (“Appointing Authority”), and establishes requirements and procedures relating to the administration and oversight of Transportation Surtax proceeds.
