Fiscal Year 2027 countywide budget and millage

If BSO keeps taking a bigger share, other services like parks, libraries and homelessness programs get squeezed.

E-911 dispatch transition from BSO to county control

The county has already put $4 million and then $11.5 million into staffing the system; a formal transition plan will come back for a future vote.

Port Everglades grants and cruise agreements

Up to $53.4 million in federal funds, with a required local/subrecipient match of at least $25 million.

State-mandated changes to county advisory boards (SB 1134)

Little direct cost, but losing these boards could affect how grant and program dollars targeting women and communities of color are directed.

Affordable housing finance for Sanctuary Cove and Sistrunk View

About $5 million from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, roughly $100,000 per home by Commissioner Fisher's estimate.

Senior meal and food insecurity funding

Combined funding includes $314,516 in state grant funds and an $85,864 increase for senior home care.

Return of Fire Rescue to County control

No cost estimate yet — the whole point is finding out whether county control could save cash-strapped cities money.

Temporary moratorium on large-scale data centers

No immediate county cost; the long-term effect on BMSD tax base and utility demand is unknown.

County Business Enterprise reserve changes

Up to $1.25 million per vendor over five years; local CBE firms fear losing market share.

Sheriff's Office accountability, audits and budget disputes

A $5.85 million budget transfer to BSO for dispatch was deferred indefinitely amid the dispute.

Affordable Housing Trust Fund Distribution

Up to $5,845,558 in county funding.

Opioid and mental health recovery housing funding

$1.34 million shifted between providers plus $226,136 in new matching funds.

Fire rescue interlocal agreement with the Sheriff

A stalled fire rescue transition could carry costs if contract disputes end up in court.

JetBlue Terminal 5 construction funding

Total not-to-exceed rises from $403.4 million to $802.4 million.

Airport terminal and airline agreements

Terminal 5 costs could nearly double to $802.4 million pending the September 22 vote.

Composting P3 selection controversy

No county cost identified; the proposal is pitched as risk-free with flow control now secured.

Deferred $5.85 million BSO dispatch budget transfer

$5.85 million from reserve, on hold for now.

Municipal Services District budgets and assessments

Average homestead owner in the district pays about $10 more; garbage assessments unchanged for most.

Elimination of transportation concurrency and road impact fees

Road impact fees and concurrency fees are eliminated countywide.

Towing and immobilization reforms

Deferred increases would have raised the standard tow from $175 and added a $15-$25 fuel surcharge and roughly $87 EV storage fee, paid by consumers in non-consensual tows.
