Summary Explanation/Background
On August 7, 2007, Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale entered into a lease agreement for the use of the Governmental Center East - Annex public parking lot located at 115 S. Andrews Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301, to be used as a public parking lot. The lease is set to expire on August 6, 2022. The first amendment would grant the City an additional two-year renewal term. Either party can terminate the agreement for convenience with a 90-day written notice.

The City agreed to the temporary closure.
All documents have been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney.
