The <strong>Broward</strong> County Board of County<br />
Commissioners is the legislative branch<br />
of <strong>Broward</strong> County government, while<br />
the county administrator handles the<br />
administrative functions. In addition<br />
to county government, <strong>Broward</strong> has 31<br />
municipalities that serve local residents and<br />
businesses.<br />
At the center of a metropolitan area of more<br />
than 5.4 million people, <strong>Broward</strong> County<br />
operates Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood<br />
International Airport and Port Everglades, as<br />
well as dozens of other county departments<br />
and programs.<br />
For expanding and relocating businesses,<br />
county agencies vigilantly pursue<br />
opportunities to streamline and expedite<br />
permitting procedures, while building<br />
and maintaining a solid infrastructure for<br />
businesses and residents.<br />
The County Commission is comprised of<br />
nine members who are elected by district.<br />
Each commissioner must be a resident of the<br />
particular district for which seat he/she seeks<br />
election. Each year, the commission elects<br />
a mayor who serves as the county’s official<br />
representative and ceremonial dignitary<br />
and provides leadership on issues facing the<br />
county.<br />
The commission appoints the county<br />
administrator, county attorney and<br />
commission auditor. The commission also<br />
appoints numerous advisory and regulatory<br />
boards. The County Commission meets in<br />
formal session the first four Tuesdays each<br />
