Legislative Update Russ Klenet provided a legislative update noting most Floridians wished the State legislature to address high insurance rates, but it appeared the legislature would take no new action. He reported Senate Bill 280 would effectively prevent local municipalities from implementing any controls regarding vacation rentals and reminded Commission members they were now required to file Form 6, the same financial disclosure document required by members of the legislature and the Governor which prompted a lawsuit by several local governments. Mr. Klenet stated there were several bad “culture war bills” pending as well.

City of Oakland Park City Commission Meeting MINUTES January 24, 2024 Page 17 31. City Commission Discussion Item: Fire Assessment Fee - Vice Mayor Lonergan. Andrew Thompson, Chief Financial Officer, stated the results of the Fire Assessment study should be available in May or June. Vice Mayor Lonergan discussed the amount of money the City had invested in Fire Rescue. He felt the current Fire Assessment structure was unfair and everyone should bear some cost and there should be a base Fire Assessment for all properties, without exemptions, based on a tiered schedule. Commissioner Arnst recalled that the Fire Assessment had been implemented to ensure that every residential property paid into City service even if their property tax bill was zero. Commissioner Arnst discussed the difference between what a business paid, which was based on square footage, to a residence, which was a flat fee. He stated he would be receptive to introducing a tiered fee for non-profits. Commissioner Newbold stated she would have difficulty demanding elderly residents on a fixed income pay a Fire Assessment. Mayor Rosenwald favored leaving the fee structure in place for residences but was willing to discuss having institutions and non-profits pay an assessment. Commissioner Gordon requested Mr. Thompson and City Manager Hebert bring something back to the City Commission. Mr. Thompson described the property tax exemptions for residential properties. The Commission had consensus to have staff look into a tiered structure for non-profits. NOTE: Motion to Extend Meeting Commissioner Gordon moved to extend the meeting.
