Broward County, Florida – Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Operating Budget
FISCAL YEAR 2023 ADOPTED OPERATING BUDGET
The Broward County Budget provides Broward County resident
s and the Board of County
Commissioners with a funding plan for fiscal year 2023. Three documents summarize the spending
policies that were used to develop the budget; the financial and budgetary details that make up the
budget; and most importantly, descriptions of the programs and capital projects that are provided with
the public's funds.
The Operating Budget contains the summaries of the entire budget in its first section. These
summaries include millage information, revenue and appropriation summaries and general financial
information. Throughout the document there are references to the capital program and debt service
budget. Please see the capital program document to obtain more information on the referenced items.
The Operating Budget document also provides program objectives, service level data by program, and
descriptions of all Broward County agencies. It is organized by:
Department (i.e. Transportation)
Division (i.e. Transit)
Section/Program (i.e. Transportation Operations)
Also included in the Operating Budget is a concise explanation of the increases/decreases in each
Division's budget from fiscal year 2022 to fiscal year 2023.
Two other budget documents provide additional information:
The Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Budget-in-Brief provides an overview of the entire County
Budget. It includes the County Administrator's Budget Message which presents the
budgetary and financial policies upon which the budget was developed.
The Fiscal Year 2023 - 2027 Capital Program provides detailed information on all new capital
projects programmed for fiscal years 2023 through 2027. It also includes the County's Debt
Service Budget.
If you have any questions, or desire additional information, please call the Office of Management and
Budget at 954-357-6345 or visit us at www.broward.org/budget.

12 Broward County, Florida - Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Operating Budget
Budgetary Information
Budgetary control of the operating budget is maintained at the department level by fund. This
means that the overall appropriations for a department cannot be increased without Board
approval; however, funds may be transferred administratively within a department by fund. This
explains the emphasis in the operating budget document on departmental summaries classified by
fund. These summaries are found at the beginning of each departmental section.
The operating budget is organized by function (i.e., Human Services, Public Works,
Transportation, etc.), which coincides with the County departmental organizational structure. The
departments are separated into divisions which represent discrete activities. Divisions are
separated into sections, which represent a specific program or group of inter-related programs.
The division summaries present historical cost information and adopted budget by type of costs
(i.e., personnel services, operating expenses, capital outlay, transfers, and reserves), and total
number of positions. Revenues attributed to a particular division are also presented. The division
summaries also include significant budget comments such as basic appropriation changes and new
services or enhancements.
The section summaries describe a specific program or inter-related programs. These pages include
a statement regarding the goal of the program, a brief description of each program, performance
measures, major budget comments or objectives, and appropriations and positions per section.
In summary, the operating budget reflects a comprehensive decision-making document, which is
designed to communicate to the reader a very clear picture of Broward County government: its
programs, policies, and goals.
Note for FY23 only:
This FY23 Adopted budget includes the addition of two divisions. First, a Housing Options,
Solutions and Supports Division is created in the Department of Human Services. Second, a Real
Property and Real Estate Development Division is created in the Department of Public Works.
These reorganizations move positions and resources within these departments, to better align with
future responsibilities. Lastly, a number of positions that were funded in the Capital Program using
the General Capital Outlay Fund are now proposed to be included in the Operating Budget using
the General Fund. This change primarily affects positions in Public Works’ Construction
Management and Facilities Maintenance Divisions, Parks and Recreation Division, and Resilient
Environment Department.
To facilitate comparison of the FY23 budget request, the Adopted changes to personnel and
budgets within these departments are shown for FY23, FY22 Revised, and FY21 Revised.

Note on Federal COVID-19 Financial Assistance
Broward County, Florida
Adopted Budget FY23
Major financial assistance provided to Broward County related to the
COVID-19 pandemic and proposed uses in FY23 Adopted Budget
The information below is a summary of the major financial assistance provided directly to Broward County by the federal
government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Other parts of the three major federal acts (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, and American Rescue Plan Act, 2021) also have provided
funding directly or indirectly through a number of other programs, such as Housing/CDBG. This list is subject to change.
In most cases, these funds will be used by the end of FY23 but the amount is uncertain as it will depend on how much has been
used by the end of FY22, which closes on September 30, 2022. Commission actions to recognize and appropriate this financial
assistance is shown if already taken, or will be proposed as the funding is finalized and proposed uses confirmed. (Oct 17, 2022).

provides adoption marketing, plans special events, coordinates foster and off-site adoption placement, offers
humane education programs, and generally informs the public about Division services, alerts, events, activities,
programs, ordinance enforcement, and volunteer opportunities. A monthly low-cost rabies vaccination and
license clinic is coordinated by this section.

Animal Care Trust Fund
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The Animal Care Trust Fund includes four areas: the Sterilization Trust, the Adoption Marketing Trust, the General
Trust, and the Bite Victim Trust.
The Sterilization Trust includes programs such as Spay-And-Neuter, Return-To-Field, and Trap-Neuter-Release.
The Sterilization Trust is funded through a $3 surcharge on the first 100,000 pet licenses sold each fiscal year
and 100% of license fee revenue thereafter. Funds are also collected from fees of residents who reclaim their
unsterilized pets and any excess funds over $20,000 from the Victim Trust.
The Adoption Marketing Trust provides for marketing relating to adoption services. This program is funded through
a $1 surcharge on pet licenses. The Victims Trust assists victims unable to pay their medical bills occurring as a
result of animal attacks. Victims can be a person or an animal.
The General Trust consists of funds donated to the Animal Care Division that are used according to the donor’s
wishes. If the donor does not designate a specific purpose then funds are used for general animal welfare.
The Bite Victim Trust assists those who are unable to pay their medical bills occurring as a result of animal
attacks. The Bite Victim Trust is funded through bite fees, gifts, grants, and other revenue to pay for medical
expenses of dog or cat bite victims. This trust is capped at $20,000—excess revenue is deposited in the
Sterilization Trust.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The Florida Air Pollution Control Trust Fund (Air Trust), was established under the authority of Section 320.03(6)
Florida Statutes (F.S.). The source of the funding is a $1.00 fee charged on every vehicle tag registration sold,
transferred or replaced. For any county which has an approved local air pollution control program, as provided in
Section 403.182 F.S., $0.75 of the fees from each registration sold in the county must be returned to that county
and used only for air pollution control programs. If at the end of the fiscal year, the Air Trust fund has an
unencumbered balance of more than 50% of the preceding year's allocation, the local program will receive
$0.50 of every $1.00 collected.
The Air Quality program is a state approved local air quality program established pursuant to Section 403 F.S.
and is responsible for protecting and enhancing air quality in Broward County by monitoring to assess air quality
and to demonstrate compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards; preventing and controlling
emissions from commercial, industrial and motor vehicle air pollution through regulations and compliance;
preventing air pollution through public education; preventing air pollution through long term air quality
planning, greenhouse gas emissions inventories and reduction strategies; and promoting cleaner fuels and modes
of transportation.
The Air Quality Program derives its legislative authority, mandates and funding from federal, state, and local
authorities. In addition, the Air Quality Program has been delegated specific authority by the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to implement the air quality program in the County and is the recipient of
several federal grants and state contracts with air quality protection objectives.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The Broward Schools Environmental Partnership is a collaborative effort with the School Board of Broward County
with the aim of instilling a sense of the biological connection between students and their environment, promoting
water conservation and pollution reduction, and saving money on school facility operations through water
conservation efforts. Program staff work directly with school administration and educators to deliver programs and
curriculum, engage students, create environmental learning gardens, provide staff training, and conduct
landscape irrigation evaluations on school properties. The program is supported with cost share funding provided
under a partnership agreement with the School Board of Broward County.
The Broward Water Conservation and Incentives Program is a collaborative effort with municipal and water utility
cost-share partners to achieve water conservation as a fundamental part of the region’s long-term water supply
strategy. The program delivers uniform water conservation messaging to promote conservation practices and
advertise the availability of water conservation rebates and incentives available to residential and commercial
customers. The program is designed to influence behavior practices so as to achieve a community ethic of water
conservation and to incentivize plumbing retrofits in existing housing stock and commercial establishments.
The Water Use Efficiency Program coordinates with local governments, water utilities, and other large water users
to achieve water conservation through more efficient irrigation system operations. The Program involves the
operations of a NatureScape Irrigation Service and a mobile irrigation lab staffed by water conservation specialists
designed to reduce landscape irrigation demands on potable and groundwater supplies and provide more
effective and efficient water management that is protective of the region’s water resources. The objective is to
help landscape professionals, maintenance personnel, and property managers maintain their properties and
irrigate in an efficient, more cost‐effective way with the goal of achieving an average of 20% water savings per
site. The program targets large users and professionally-managed properties where the potential for water savings is
greatest. The program receives cost-share support from local water utilities and municipalities.
The Environmental Monitoring Lab provides services on a contract basis for multiple organizations, including
municipalities and internal County agencies. Current contracts include Solid Waste Services, Water and
Wastewater Services, Broward County School Board, and Port Everglades.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program coordinates the process whereby taxpayers file petitions to contest the value and/or
exemptions/classifications placed on real or personal property by the Property Appraiser. Special Hearing
Magistrates (attorneys and appraisers) are appointed by the Value Adjustment Board. The Board consists of two
County Commissioners, one School Board member, and two citizen members. One citizen member is appointed
by the County Commission and must own homestead property within the County. The other is appointed by the
School Board and must own a business occupying commercial space located within the school district. The
Special Magistrates will conduct hearings on the Board’s behalf, and the School Board reimburses the County for
two-fifths (40%) of the net costs of the process.
BUDGET COMMENTS

Two positions are shared with the Records, Taxes, and Treasury and Department Administration Divisions. The
Value Adjustment Board budget includes one-half of the funding associated with the Records, Taxes &
Treasury position and 15% of the FASD Administration position.

people we serve in ways that are reflected in their disparate outcomes. DRI works to normalize, operationalize,
and institutionalize racial equity through education-based workshops and subsequent efforts to augment and
advance understanding of shared definitions and analysis learned together, to impact ways of doing business that
function to sustain racial inequities. The section collaborates with agencies and community partners to align and
coordinate racial equity efforts across the county.

Justice Services
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
Justice Services is the lead agency responsible for managing processes and promoting systemic change to
redirect youth and adult offenders away from the justice system through prevention, intervention, collaboration,
coordination, and systems management to ensure equity and strength-based services are delivered that improve
client outcomes and opportunities. Justice Services is comprised of Civil Citation and Juvenile Predisposition
Services.
The Civil Citation Program (CCP) is an alternative to the formal judicial process for both juveniles and adults
committing non-violent misdemeanor offenses. Its purpose is three-fold: (1) ensures that the youth or adult
misdemeanor offense is appropriately addressed without creating a criminal record; (2) reduces juvenile
delinquency and adult criminal behaviors; and (3) saves taxpayer resources. The CCP serves as the Countywide
Coordinating Entity (CCE) to ensure uniformity in the implementation and management of both the juvenile and
adult civil citation processes countywide. The CCP provides technical assistance to local law enforcement
agencies and community-based organizations, engages in community outreach, and manages the data for all
juvenile and adult civil citations issued and services provided in accordance with F.S. 985.12, Broward County
Code of Ordinance Section 21-6 and F.S.901.41.
The Juvenile Predisposition Services Program (JPSP) provides a community-based alternative that reduce
taxpayer's costs associated with detaining youth during the predisposition phase of the juvenile justice process.
JPSP is designed to begin addressing individualized needs of youth to prevent deeper involvement into the
juvenile justice system. The goal of JPSP is to build a neighborhood-based continuum that keeps the community
safe and to support youth and their families by providing case coordination.

Behavioral Health Administration
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The effective management of this program will result in the provision of comprehensive behavioral health
services to older adults with a mental disorder diagnosed under the Diagnostic and Statistical manual and/or the
International Classification of Disease codes who have been committed to a psychiatric facility or institution or
are at risk for re-institutionalization. A number of these older adults have co-occurring substance abuse disorders,
many of whom have been incarcerated or committed to mental health facilities. Elderly and Veteran Services
Division is the sole provider and the treatment conduit of last resort for these individuals. Funds in this category
will be used to manage the assessment and delivery of community-based services designed to direct consumers
away from inappropriate and premature institutional placement, allowing them to achieve independence,
stability, self-sufficiency, and responsible community living that benefits not only the consumer but the
community at large.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This quality of life program supports a range of community-based initiatives designed to allow seniors to remain
in their home communities, aging with dignity and with access to the services necessary to continue “aging in
place.” From walk-ins, staff referrals and telephone requests, this component is the central point of contact for all
Elderly and Veterans Services Division programs and services as well as the primary source for appropriate
information and referrals to other strategic partners. Calls for service are routed through this program. Support
includes consumer-directed care, which allows eligible seniors to determine the best care necessary for them to
remain in their homes; a housing program that provides crisis stabilization, ongoing rental assistance and linkages
for seniors at risk for homelessness; individualized nursing assistance and medication management; in-depth
assessments and teletherapy; temporary case management for emergency financial assistance; ongoing case
management, case aide and in-home services to maintain functionally impaired seniors in their own homes; and

Mosquito Control Local
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This section operates a mandated countywide control program consisting of spraying both adult mosquitoes and
mosquitoes in the larval stages and inspections of residences and businesses to reduce mosquito breeding.
BUDGET COMMENTS
■
Mosquito control is mandated by a 1933 referendum of the residents of Broward County and is essential from a
health perspective in that mosquitoes can carry several deadly diseases including encephalitis, West Nile,
yellow fever, dengue fever, and heartworms.
■
This program is provided countywide. Division staff responds to thousands of complaints by residents annually
by spraying infested areas and utilizing preventive measures. Staff provide residence and business inspections
to reduce mosquito breeding on private property and to keep residents informed of threats to their wellbeing
caused by mosquitoes.
■
The Mosquito Control Section provides aerial mosquito control spraying to further enhance the County’s effort
to control potential disease-carrying mosquitoes.

minimizes yearly maintenance of crosswalks and other pavement markings.
■
The Division provides pavement marking and signing services in accordance with the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
■
Traffic signs and markings appropriations are supplemented in the capital fund.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
In accordance with the solid waste and recycling responsibilities of county governments, outlined in Sections
125.01 and 403.706 of the Florida Statutes, this program is responsible for the administration of the mandatory
collection programs for solid waste and recycling, including contractual oversight of privately-owned garbage
and recycling collection firms, which serve residential and commercial locations in the Broward Municipal
Services District.
BUDGET COMMENTS
■
In mid-FY20, the Broward Municipal Services District entered into a new waste collection contract with
Coastal Waste & Recycling of Broward County, LLC. The new contract amount, while comparable to other
similarly sized municipalities, is a large increase from the District's previous contract.
■
Due to the cost increase for waste collection services beginning in FY20, and continuing in FY23, the rate for
residential collection services in the Broward Municipal Services District increases in FY23 from $310 to $330
per residential household. This is the third planned rate increase of $20 each fiscal year and will be followed
by future rate increases, potentially varying in magnitude, in order to ensure the fund returns to structural
balance. In the meantime, the fund continues to rely on reserves and spending down the fund's fund balance
to smooth the necessary rate increases.
■
In FY23, capital funding is allocated to replace one Sport Utility Vehicle used by Municipal Services staff.
■
Recycled paint collected through the Household Hazardous Waste & Electronics Recycling program will be
made available for distribution for free to residents of the Broward Municipal Services District (BMSD) at
neighborhood parks in the BMSD in FY23.

BUDGET COMMENTS
In FY23, an estimated $66,327,490 is allocated in the CARES Act, CRRSAA Act, and ARPA funds for Transit
expenses which are budgeted as reallocations within the Transit Operating fund. The expenses must be
recorded in a separate fund, causing a net increase in the Transit Operating fund total compared to the
FY22 budget. Net of one-time federal funds, Transit Operating increased by $28,249,560 in FY23 compared
to FY22. Farebox revenues in FY23 are based on a 5% increase in ridership compared to FY22 projections,
resulting in a 5.5% increase in farebox revenue compared to the FY22 budget. The increase in revenue in FY23
is largely due to a planned increase in the Transfer from Gas Tax fund of $30,922,410 and an increase in the
Transfer from Surtax Fund of $29,151,170.

Operations
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The Operations section provides fiscal oversight for OMETS and ensuring fiscal responsibility for technical,
laboratory and investigative work in the Office of the Medical Examiner. Operations includes Investigations who
are the gateway for the agency. These staff use established criteria to determine if cases fall under the statutory
jurisdiction of the Medical Examiner's Office. Medical-Legal Investigators provide for scene response and assist in
collection of evidence and information pertinent to the death at the scene (e.g. suspicious versus non-suspicious
deaths). The Investigators photograph the death scene/body to provide detailed corroborating evidence should
questions arise concerning the report, witness statements or position of evidence at the scene. Medical-Legal
Investigators perform interviews, research in both field and the office settings to assist in the collection of
information of the cause and manner of death. Medical-Legal Investigators follow-up on cases until a conclusion
is reached and death certificates are prepared. One Medical-Legal Investigator also continues to manage the
Unidentified/Missing Persons Program, for which extensive time is needed for interaction with the general public
and external agencies required to manage and oversee Broward County cold cases, and perform casework on all
unidentified persons currently falling under the jurisdiction of the Broward Medical Examiner's Office. The
Medical-Legal Investigator Supervisor expends large amounts of time to oversee and process the demands of the
Indigent Cremation Program for Broward County.

Office of Inspector General
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The mission of the Broward Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is to act as an independent watchdog for the
residents of Broward County. We promote integrity and accountability by investigating allegations of misconduct
including fraud, corruption, and abuse and gross mismanagement, by officials and employees of the charter
government of Broward County, its thirty-one municipalities, and all entities and persons who provide goods and
services to the County and the municipalities. The OIG publicly reports its findings to keep residents informed.
Whenever appropriate, the OIG seeks criminal prosecution, civil recoveries, administrative and monetary
sanctions, and ethics sanctions of those responsible for fraud, waste and abuse in government.
BUDGET COMMENTS
■
In November of 2010, voters approved a change in the County Charter to establish the County Office of
Inspector General to investigate misconduct and gross mismanagement.
■
The Office is headed by an Inspector General. The organization and administration of the Office is
independent to assure that no interference or influence external to the Office affects the objectivity of the
Office.
■
The Inspector General commences an investigation if good cause exists that any Official, Employee, or
Provider has engaged in misconduct or gross mismanagement.
■
The authority of the Inspector General extends only over the following: 1) All elected and appointed officials
and employees of the Charter Government of Broward County and of all municipalities, including any city,
town, or village duly incorporated under the laws of the state within Broward County; and 2) All entities and
persons (other than employees of the County or any municipality) that provide goods or services to the County
or any municipality under contract for compensation, but solely with respect to the provision of such goods or
services.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program is responsible for the cooperative marketing, maintenance and operation of the Convention Center
for maximum economic impact for Broward County. The Convention Center section oversees and administers the
management contract of a private sector vendor, which includes the marketing and sales plan for the local short-
term event market, a cooperative development of similar marketing/sales strategy for the national long-term
market with the Convention and Visitors Bureau, and a reservation and control system for all categories of events.
BUDGET COMMENTS
■
The Convention Center closed for renovations in February 2020 and reopened in October 2021 following the
completion of the western expansion of the Convention Center. The FY23 Budget reflects the anticipated
revenues and expenses associated with the reopening and planned schedule of events.
■
The western expansion of the Convention Center expands the facility's footprint to include 350,000
contiguous square feet of floor and exhibit space. In addition, new concession, show management offices,
and back-of-house service areas are constructed to meet the future needs of the Convention Center. Further
improvements include the addition of a new central energy plant to provide energy efficient heating, cooling,
and emergency backup power. In total, the Convention Center's footprint, not including improvements related
to the planned East Expansion, is 488,500 square feet.
■
In December 2021, the County issued bonds for the East Expansion of the Convention Center and began
construction in early 2022. Once complete, the East Expansion will provide an additional 525,000 square
feet of meeting space which includes a 350,000 square foot contiguous exhibition hall and a 65,000 square
foot waterfront ballroom. In total, the west and east expansions will expand the Convention Center's total
footprint to approximately 1.2 million square feet.
