Top issues during term (20)
Hollywood Beach Overlay District
No direct tax impact was discussed; the overlay would guide future beach development.
Harry Berry Park Improvements
Funded from developer proceeds — roughly $10 million paid at closing with a $45 million guarantee — not general tax dollars.
Beach CRA sunset and transition
Potentially $1.75 million a year for ten years from the county interlocal agreement could be steered toward beach resiliency.
Central Beach tidal flooding and backflow preventers
Replacing each of 33 lake outfall gates runs roughly $100,000, and permanent flood protection for the Broadwalk could require major capital investment.
Amendment 3 Property Tax Reform Impact
Roughly $28 million per year in lost city revenue by year two of the law.
The Club at Emerald Hills Redevelopment
Financial terms of the redevelopment were not detailed at this reading; the project is expected to improve the golf club and surrounding area.
1301 South Ocean Drive and Hollywood Beach Hotel redevelopment concerns
Not specified in the minutes.
Downtown parking and tenant recruitment
No direct spending yet, but the recommendations could create new assessments on downtown property owners or repurpose parking revenue.
Senior, Cultural, and Recreation Grants
Up to $1,000 per eligible civic association per year in city grant funds.
Orangebrook Golf Course Funding Gap
Developer PPG has spent $1.85 million to date on design and will pay CBRE's $612,500 commission in two installments.
Mosaic Hollywood affordable housing loan
Hollywood Vista leverages public and private capital; CDBG and SHIP grant dollars flow to local services.
Workforce housing at 400 South Dixie Highway
Roughly $6.6 million in city and CRA commitments plus $640,000 in conditional tax-credit support.
Permitting delays and process reform
No direct cost, but if cumulative growth pushes a street past study thresholds, later developers or the city could bear improvement costs.
FEC Railway Quiet Zone Retention
Up to $4 million over five years for crossing maintenance, plus roughly $300,000 for Garfield Street quad gates.
City Attorney Performance and Compensation
Outside counsel contracts can run up to $275,000; residents raised concerns about those legal costs.
Flat operating millage proposal for FY 2027
Roughly $202.6 million in property tax revenue for the general fund; typical property owners will see a tax increase of about 6% over the rolled-back rate.
Barrier Island Infrastructure and Evacuation
Broward County's resiliency plan anticipates roughly $9 billion in municipal contributions countywide, costs that could grow with added beach density.
Rotary Park Ballfield Drainage and Funding
Up to $2.3 million from the GO bond, plus $22,600 to Craven Thompson for construction services.
Hollywood Beach comprehensive plan amendments (File 26-L-18)
Could unlock hotel and mixed-use development that raises beach property values and tax base — no direct cost to taxpayers today.
Cinema Paradiso funding and downtown marketing
$15,000 released this quarter from CRA advertising dollars.
