PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING SUB-SECTION 2-121 OF ARTICLE IV OF
CHAPTER 2 OF THE CITY'S CODE OF ORDINANCES TO RE-ESTABLISH THE
DEPARTMENTS OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND PUBLIC WORKS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY’S FISCAL YEAR 2014 CITYWIDE
REORGANIZATION PLAN
Summary
This item would re-establish the Departments of Development Services and Public
Works in accordance with the Fiscal Year 2014 Citywide Reorganization Plan.
Staff Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the proposed ordinance re-
establishing the departments of Development Services and Public Works in accordance
with the City’s 2014 Citywide Reorganization Plan.
Background:
In 2011, the City of Lauderdale Lakes underwent a citywide reorganization. Amidst its
financial challenges, the reorganization constituted a first step in streamlining the City’s
operations to ensure long-term stability. While that reorganization, which consolidated
the Department of Development Services and Public Works, has worked well to steer
the City toward a more stable financial footing, it does not constitute the most effective
way to deliver the aforementioned departmental services. As such, the proposed
Ordinance seeks to re-establish a separate Development Services Department and a
separate Public Works Department. This would be a more effective and efficient
operational model for the delivery of departmental services and management of
personnel. With the approval of the 2014 Reorganization Plan, the City Code will be
amended to reflect the separated duties of the two (2) departments within the City. This
can be accomplished within the existing budget allocation. However, a budget
amendment would be required to fully implement the Reorganization Plan.

DISCUSSION REGARDING THE CITY’S 2014 STATE LEGISLATIVE AND
APPROPRIATIONS PRIORITIES
Summary
This is a discussion regarding the adoption of the proposed 2014 State Legislative Agenda for
the City of Lauderdale Lakes. Upon review and adoption, the City of Lauderdale Lakes State
Legislative and Appropriation priorities will be forwarded to the City's State Lobbyists,
Legislative Delegation and other governmental entities for consideration.
Staff Recommendation
Background: Each year, the City of Lauderdale Lakes presents a Legislative Agenda which
outlines support/opposition of legislative bills and funding consideration for various projects.
The Legislative Agenda is then forwarded to the City’s State Lobbyist, Legislative Delegation
and other governmental entities to request support of the legislative/appropriation items.
This year, the Legislative Agenda serves to request funding for upcoming citywide projects and
support legislative bills that will positively impact the City’s residents and businesses.
Additionally, the Legislative Agenda includes legislative bills proposed by local, county, state
and national entities for various actions that will improve the health, safety and well-being of
individuals within the City of Lauderdale Lakes and surrounding areas. Attached is E xhibit A
which highlights the proposed 2014 State Legislative and Appropriation priorities for the City of
Lauderdale Lakes.
At the previous Commission Meeting, it was requested that additional information be provided
particularly as it pertains to the Internet Sales Tax Collection. Staff provided background
information derived from the Florida League of Cities. The City Commission is encouraged to
review and adopt the proposed 2014 Legislative Agenda.

CITY OF LAUDERDALE LAKES
2014 STATE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
PROPOSED/PENDING LEGISLATION (opposition)
 Oppose legislation proposing the elimination of economic development related
initiatives, such as Enterprise Zone Programs which have served as a catalyst to
promote economic growth and job creation opportunities
 Oppose legislation proposing the elimination of Chapter 205 of the Florida
Statutes which has been imposed for the cost of doing business in a municipality.
Additionally, such funds have been utilized to identify and address the needs of
local businesses. Currently, a municipality may impose a local business tax for
the privilege of engaging in or managing a business, profession or occupation
within its jurisdiction. The amount of the tax, as well as the occupations and
businesses on which the tax is imposed, is determined by the local government.
Local business tax revenues collected by local governments are used to assist in
funding services critical to businesses, such as zoning, permitting, code
enforcement, and police and fire services. Local governments may also use
business tax revenues to help fund economic development programs, presenting
a direct benefit to businesses through the marketing of local areas
 Oppose legislation that would mandate the use of a uniform chart of accounts for
all governmental entities without requiring uniformity in other areas. The
establishment of a uniform chart of accounts, without requiring uniformity in other
areas, such as in the basis of accounting and the accounting treatment of various
transactions, in and of itself, will not provide users with any meaningful
comparisons between organizations. Transparency and accountability of the use
of public funds to citizens and other stakeholders is paramount, but it must be
achieved while simultaneously limiting the burden to the reporting entities and
preserving the autonomy of each affected entity.
 Oppose legislation aimed at limiting, dismantling or reducing funding for
Community Redevelopment Agencies
PROPOSED/PENDING LEGISLATION (support)
Community Development Block Grant Programs
The City of Lauderdale Lakes supports continued program funding of Community
Development Block Grants (CDBG) and HOME which are essential to protecting the
City’s housing stock, encouraging local economic development and stimulating growth.

[PAGE 14]
Commission Workshop-January 13, 2014 Page 14 of 30
Finance and Taxation
The City of Lauderdale Lakes supports legislation would allow for the collection of taxes
from sales made by remote means (e.g., internet and catalog). However, the City of
Lauderdale Lakes, in line with the GFOA opposes any efforts to include provisions in
legislation that would limit the amount of tax that local governments can collect on
remote sales.
Economic Development
The City of Lauderdale Lakes supports funding to promote private sector job growth
with programs and activities that directly relate to economic development that are vital
resources for infrastructure and business development to alleviate conditions of
unemployment and underemployment in the City of Lauderdale Lakes. Also, the City of
Lauderdale Lakes supports continued funding of initiatives facilitated by Foreign Trade
Zone, Enterprise Zone and Brownfields Programs.
The City of Lauderdale Lakes supports state incentives and policies that promote
business growth and expansion and result in the creation of new jobs and capital
investment. The City of Lauderdale Lakes supports state investment in transportation
infrastructure, such as roadways, that improve our competitive position to attract
business growth and investment.
Public Works and Infrastructure
The City of Lauderdale Lakes supports funding to meet critical infrastructure needs. Our
transportation systems, which are so critical to economic growth, continue to face major
challenges.
Parks and Recreational Initiatives
The City of Lauderdale Lakes supports art accessible to benefit the social, economic
and cultural well-being of our community. The City joins many cultural arts organizations
in supporting funding for municipal cultural arts programs.
In line with the FRPA, the City of Lauderdale Lakes supports measures that fund
programs that increase healthy lifestyles and physical activity.

DISCUSSION REGARDING LIVE VIDEO STREAM OF COMMISSION MEETINGS
Summary
This is a discussion regarding exploring the idea of live video streaming of Commission

Staff Recommendation
Background: The City of Lauderdale Lakes is exploring a feature that provides the
ability to stream video live and on demand. Providing this feature will give residents
convenient access to review both live and archived video streaming of City Commission
Meetings. As a result, this can reduce related public inquiries by offering searchable self

Attachment B
316.0083 Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Program; administration; report.—
(1)(a) For purposes of administering this section, the department, a county, or a municipality
may authorize a traffic infraction enforcement officer under s. 316.640 to issue a traffic citation
for a violation of s. 316.074(1) or s. 316.075(1)(c)1. A notice of violation and a traffic citation
may not be issued for failure to stop at a red light if the driver is making a right-hand turn in a
careful and prudent manner at an intersection where right-hand turns are permissible. A notice
of violation and a traffic citation may not be issued under this section if the driver of the vehicle
came to a complete stop after crossing the stop line and before turning right if permissible at a
red light, but failed to stop before crossing over the stop line or other point at which a stop is
required. This paragraph does not prohibit a review of information from a traffic infraction
detector by an authorized employee or agent of the department, a county, or a municipality
before issuance of the traffic citation by the traffic infraction enforcement officer. This paragraph
does not prohibit the department, a county, or a municipality from issuing notification as
provided in paragraph (b) to the registered owner of the motor vehicle involved in the violation of
s. 316.074(1) or s. 316.075(1)(c)1.
(b)1.a. Within 30 days after a violation, notification must be sent to the registered owner of the
motor vehicle involved in the violation specifying the remedies available under s. 318.14 and
that the violator must pay the penalty of $158 to the department, county, or municipality, or
furnish an affidavit in accordance with paragraph (d), or request a hearing within 60 days
following the date of the notification in order to avoid the issuance of a traffic citation. The
notification must be sent by first-class mail. The mailing of the notice of violation constitutes
notification.
b. Included with the notification to the registered owner of the motor vehicle involved in the
infraction must be a notice that the owner has the right to review the photographic or electronic
images or the streaming video evidence that constitutes a rebuttable presumption against the
owner of the vehicle. The notice must state the time and place or Internet location where the
evidence may be examined and observed.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a person who receives a notice of violation
under this section may request a hearing within 60 days following the notification of violation or
pay the penalty pursuant to the notice of violation, but a payment or fee may not be required
before the hearing requested by the person. The notice of violation must be accompanied by, or
direct the person to a website that provides, information on the person’s right to request a
hearing and on all court costs related thereto and a form to request a hearing. As used in this
sub-subparagraph, the term “person” includes a natural person, registered owner or co-owner of
a motor vehicle, or person identified on an affidavit as having care, custody, or control of the
motor vehicle at the time of the violation.
d. If the registered owner or coowner of the motor vehicle, or the person designated as having
care, custody, or control of the motor vehicle at the time of the violation, or an authorized
representative of the owner, co-owner, or designated person, initiates a proceeding to challenge
the violation pursuant to this paragraph, such person waives any challenge or dispute as to the
delivery of the notice of violation.
2. Penalties assessed and collected by the department, county, or municipality authorized to
collect the funds provided for in this paragraph, less the amount retained by the county or
municipality pursuant to subparagraph 3., shall be paid to the Department of Revenue weekly.
Payment by the department, county, or municipality to the state shall be made by means of
electronic funds transfers. In addition to the payment, summary detail of the penalties remitted
shall be reported to the Department of Revenue.
3. Penalties to be assessed and collected by the department, county, or municipality are as
follows:
a. One hundred fifty-eight dollars for a violation of s. 316.074(1) or s. 316.075(1)(c)1. when a
driver failed to stop at a traffic signal if enforcement is by the department’s traffic infraction
enforcement officer. One hundred dollars shall be remitted to the Department of Revenue for

enforcement officer. Seventy dollars shall be remitted by the county or municipality to the
Department of Revenue for deposit into the General Revenue Fund, $10 shall be remitted to the
Department of Revenue for deposit into the Department of Health Emergency Medical Services
Trust Fund, $3 shall be remitted to the Department of Revenue for deposit into the Brain and

the registered owner has not requested a hearing as authorized under paragraph (b), or if the
registered owner has not submitted an affidavit under this section.
b. Delivery of the traffic citation constitutes notification under this paragraph. If the registered
owner or co-owner of the motor vehicle, or the person designated as having care, custody, or
control of the motor vehicle at the time of the violation, or a duly authorized representative of the
owner, co-owner, or designated person, initiates a proceeding to challenge the citation pursuant
to this section, such person waives any challenge or dispute as to the delivery of the traffic
citation.
c. In the case of joint ownership of a motor vehicle, the traffic citation shall be mailed to the
first name appearing on the registration, unless the first name appearing on the registration is a
business organization, in which case the second name appearing on the registration may be
used.
2. Included with the notification to the registered owner of the motor vehicle involved in the
infraction shall be a notice that the owner has the right to review, in person or remotely, the
photographic or electronic images or the streaming video evidence that constitutes a rebuttable
presumption against the owner of the vehicle. The notice must state the time and place or
Internet location where the evidence may be examined and observed.
(d)1. The owner of the motor vehicle involved in the violation is responsible and liable for
paying the uniform traffic citation issued for a violation of s. 316.074(1) or s. 316.075(1)(c)1.

vehicle for the alleged violation of s. 316.074(1) or s. 316.075(1)(c)1.; or
e. The motor vehicle’s owner was deceased on or before the date that the uniform traffic
citation was issued, as established by an affidavit submitted by the representative of the motor

2. In order to establish such facts, the owner of the motor vehicle shall, within 30 days after the
date of issuance of the traffic citation, furnish to the appropriate governmental entity an affidavit
setting forth detailed information supporting an exemption as provided in this paragraph.
a. An affidavit supporting an exemption under sub-subparagraph 1.c. must include the name,
address, date of birth, and, if known, the driver license number of the person who leased,

violation. If the vehicle was stolen at the time of the alleged offense, the affidavit must include
the police report indicating that the vehicle was stolen.

affidavit must include a certified copy of the owner’s death certificate showing that the date of
death occurred on or before the issuance of the uniform traffic citation and one of the following:
(I) A bill of sale or other document showing that the deceased owner’s motor vehicle was sold
or transferred after his or her death, but on or before the date of the alleged violation.
(II) Documentary proof that the registered license plate belonging to the deceased owner’svehi
cle was returned to the department or any branch office or authorized agent of the department,
but on or before the date of the alleged violation.
(III) A copy of a police report showing that the deceased owner’s registered license plate or
motor vehicle was stolen after the owner’s death, but on or before the date of the alleged
violation.
Upon receipt of the affidavit and documentation required under this sub-subparagraph, the

at a traffic signal. The affidavit is admissible in a proceeding pursuant to this section for the
purpose of providing proof that the person identified in the affidavit was in actual care, custody,
or control of the motor vehicle. The owner of a leased vehicle for which a traffic citation is issued
for a violation of s. 316.074(1) or s. 316.075(1)(c)1. when the driver failed to stop at a traffic

traffic citation is evidence that a violation of s. 316.074(1) or s. 316.075(1)(c)1. when the driver
failed to stop at a traffic signal has occurred and is admissible in any proceeding to enforce this
section and raises a rebuttable presumption that the motor vehicle named in the report or shown
in the photographic or electronic images or streaming video evidence was used in violation of s.
316.074(1) or s. 316.075(1)(c)1. when the driver failed to stop at a traffic signal.
