Previous Action Taken
Item No. 12 approved by the Board on 10/8/24 adopted the Fiscal Year 25 personnel cap.
Summary Explanation/Background
Because the Constitutional Tax Collector takes office on January 7, 2025, 101 positions currently in the Finance and Administrative Services Department, Records, Taxes and Treasury Division are transferred to the Constitutional Tax Collector, and are thus no longer included in the annual total personnel cap, as is the case with all county Constitutional Officers.
Office of the Inspector General - three positions are added to work on investigations involving the School Board of Broward County. Associated costs will be borne by the School Board.
County Attorney - one new position is added to the County Attorney’s Office to work on Surtax program and projects.
