Hallandale Beach commission approves first reading to raise local business tax receipt fees 5%
Summary
On April 23 the Hallandale Beach City Commission voted 4-0 on first reading to increase local business tax receipt fees by 5%. No public speakers addressed the item at the hearing; the ordinance returned to the commission for further proceedings.
The Hallandale Beach City Commission on April 23 approved on first reading an ordinance to increase all local business tax receipt fees by 5%.
The ordinance was presented as "Ordinance 9A" on the agenda as a first-reading item; no members of the public spoke on the measure during the hearing. A motion to approve first reading carried 4-0 with Mayor Joy Cooper absent. The transcript does not specify an ordinance number, effective date or the mover and seconder of the motion.
The item description on the agenda said the ordinance provides for conflict, severability and an effective date, but the specific effective date and a citation number were not specified in the recorded discussion. Commissioners did not debate the ordinance on the record during the first-reading vote.
Because this was a first reading, the ordinance must return to the commission for a subsequent reading and final adoption before becoming law; those later steps were not resolved or scheduled on the record at this meeting.
