3 Island Safe Neighborhood District board approves amended 2024–25 budget; vote 5-0
Summary
The 3 Island Safe Neighborhood District board in Hallandale Beach approved an amended fiscal-year 2024–25 budget after brief discussion about a reported "1.1" increase and how to notify residents; members agreed the general fund would cover the change and the motion passed 5-0.
The 3 Island Safe Neighborhood District Board of Directors in Hallandale Beach approved an amended budget for the 2024–25 fiscal year on Nov. 19 after a short discussion about the size of the increase and how to communicate changes to residents.
Board members introduced a resolution to adopt the amended budget and a motion to approve it was made and seconded without further formal presentation. An attending board member described the amendment as "an increase" and referenced the figure "1.1," without specifying units or whether that was a percentage or dollar figure.
The budget discussion focused on resident outreach and transparency. One board member suggested updating the city website with a prominent banner or a direct payment link so residents could see project updates for the 3 Islands and other city initiatives. Another board member said, "the answer now, apparently, is we're gonna pay for it out of the general fund," indicating the board expected the general fund to absorb the increase.
Chair Cooper then called the question and the clerk took roll call. Directors Lee Matau, Butler, Vice Chair Lazaro, Chair Cooper and Director Adams each recorded "yes," and Chair Cooper announced, "Motion carries 5 0." The chair adjourned the meeting immediately afterward.
The record does not identify who moved or seconded the resolution by name, nor does it specify the unit or basis for the "1.1" figure referenced during discussion. The board did not receive any public comments on the item at the meeting.
