Summary
Staff announced a follow‑up workshop to discuss details of a proposed initial five‑year police services agreement with the Broward Sheriff’s Office; commissioners will hear a presentation and have detailed discussion at an 11 a.m. workshop.
City staff told the Oct. 20 agenda review that the commission will hold a workshop following the staff meeting to discuss a proposed initial five‑year contract with the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) for police services.
The manager said the contract would introduce changes to how policing is conducted under the agreement and that Captain Franks and other executive team members will join staff for the workshop at 11 a.m. “This is essentially an initial 5 year agreement with Broward Sheriff’s Office,” the manager said, and added that the commission would receive a presentation and then discuss the contract in depth during the workshop.
Why it matters: switching or renewing a police services contract affects operational responsibility for public safety delivery, staffing, and budgetary commitments. Staff did not present contract language during the agenda review; instead they scheduled the workshop for a more detailed discussion and recommended the commission attend the 11 a.m. session.
No formal action was recorded during the Oct. 20 agenda review; staff said the full presentation and discussion would occur at the scheduled workshop.
