Tanya Williams presented the City of Tamarac's proposed 2025 State Legislative Agenda, saying it gives the city's legislative advocates direction for the March 4'May 2, 2025 session. Williams summarized the agenda's priorities, including diversifying local revenue, sovereign immunity limits (she referenced the current statutory caps of $200,000 per person and $300,000 per incident), resiliency and water funding, transportation funding, parks and recreation funding, economic development, school safety funding, affordable housing and condominium/reserve issues, and public-safety and cybersecurity funding.

During discussion commissioners and the city's legislative counsel urged adding explicit language supporting amendments to the Live Local Act to preserve local entitlement processes and home-rule authority. Ronald Book, the city's lobbyist, advised that Live Local is likely to see continued changes and that municipalities should not remain silent: "Not telling your senator and your 2 house members and others in the Broward delegation how you feel on this issue, in my opinion, would be a mistake," he said.

Commissioners also pressed staff to include property-and-casualty insurance and condominium reserve concerns on the agenda. Several commissioners recounted constituent hardships tied to rising premiums and reserve requirements. Williams and Book said the city's authority to regulate insurance is preempted to the state, but they recommended communicating local impacts to state lawmakers and exploring outreach to insurance industry lobbyists as an alternative advocacy avenue.

On project-specific funding, Williams recapped FY2024 appropriations wins and losses: two FY2024 awards (canal culvert/headwall $451,081; park safety enhancements $271,577) and a vetoed 94th Avenue request that exceeded $700,000. For FY2025, staff recommended seeking appropriations for underground resilient fiber expansion (estimated >$3 million; recommended request $750,000) and lift-station improvements (estimated $1,000,000; requested $500,000 with 50% local match).

Mayor Gomes said the commission had "unanimous support" in the workshop to add language backing Live Local amendments and property-insurance/reserve relief and asked staff to refine the wording for final adoption on the consent agenda. The workshop record shows consensus discussion; a formal adoptive vote was not recorded at the workshop.
