The Hollywood City Commission's Feb. 18 meeting produced several formal approvals summarized here for quick reference.
• Overnight anchoring ordinance (item 16): On first reading the commission amended Chapter 98 to create section 98.015 (overnight anchoring limitation). Assistant Chief Paul Laskowski said the measure implements a 30‑day cap on overnight anchoring within any six‑month period and defines enforcement hours and penalties (including criminal penalties after repeated offenses). The ordinance passed on first reading unanimously.
• Harrison Street parking garage design phase (item 7): The commission authorized a progressive design–build agreement with FinFrog to reach a 30% design package and to develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price; staff and the proposer will evaluate options to integrate workforce housing. Motion approved unanimously.
• AHEC appointments (item 18): The commission approved a slate of six members and two alternates to the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee to maintain compliance with state SHIP requirements. Motion approved unanimously.
• Fleet program increase (item 19): Public Works requested an increase to the blanket purchase agreement with Enterprise FM Trust to cover the next phase of comprehensive fleet replacement and maintenance (the program helps reduce average fleet age and maintenance volatility). Commission approved unanimously.
• Consent items: With item 5 and 7 removed for discussion, the commission approved the remaining consent items 6 and 8–15 unanimously.
Votes and motions recorded in the meeting transcript will be included in the city clerk's official minutes.
