Federal Legislation Affecting Cities

House Passes “Landmark, Comprehensive” Housing Stabilization Measures

Earlier this week, the House passed H.R. 5818, The Neighborhood Stabilization Act, and H.R. 3221, The American Housing Rescue and Foreclosure Prevention Act.

* H.R. 5818, The Neighborhood Stabilization Act, authorizes a one-year $15 billion grant and loan program to help ease the growing burden of vacant housing on cities and states. Funding could be used to purchase qualified houses made vacant by foreclosure; to rehabilitate the houses to restore compliance with local codes and general habitability, including energy-efficiency improvements, and to resell or rent the houses to income-targeted families. The bill makes cities, states, and urban counties with high rates of foreclosure eligible for funding from HUD directly.

* H.R. 3221, The American Housing Rescue and Foreclosure Prevention Act, is a combination of several bills packaged together under the leadership of House Financial Services Committee Chair Barney Frank (D-MA). Among other things, the legislation:
1. allows the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to provide up to $300 billion in new mortgage loan guarantees to help refinance borrowers at risk of foreclosure into lower-interest, fixed-rate federally insured mortgages;
2. allows state housing finance agencies to sell an additional $10 billion in tax-exempt mortgage bonds to raise funds for refinancing subprime mortgage loans of borrowers at risk of default;
3. allows the Federal Home Loan Banks to guarantee tax-exempt municipal bonds, allowing them to expand their financing capacity into broader community and economic development activities, including infrastructure improvement programs; and
4. provides an additional standard deduction for state and local property taxes of up to $350 for individuals and $700 for couples. Although the bills passed with strong bipartisan support, the measures did not gain veto-proof majorities. As a result, the Senate may choose to scale the bill back to levels more in line with President Bush, who has threatened to veto the House-passed legislation.


Impasse Over Highway Funds Stalls Airport Reauthorization Bill

A long term reauthorization of the federal airport programs and the taxes that support them reached an impasse in the Senate this week and will be put on indefinite hold. Senators will instead introduce another short term extension through 2009. Attempts to limit debate on the reauthorization bill, H.R. 2881, failed as Republicans and the White House voiced strenuous objections to a provision that imposed new oil spill fees that would fund a shortfall in the Highway Trust Fund. The House passed its version of the FAA reauthorization bill last summer, and the program, which expired in September 2007, has been running on short term extensions; the current extension expires at the end of June.

For local governments, the program funds the Airport Improvement Program for metropolitan airport programs, sets the Passenger Facility Charge imposed by individual airports, and extends the Essential Air Services program for smaller airports that might not otherwise receive commercial air service.


State and Local Government Groups Urge Congress to Restore Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Funding

In a letter to the Chairs and Ranking Members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees state and local government groups urged the Committees to restore funding for the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (Byrne JAG) program in an FY ’08 emergency supplemental appropriations bill. In last year’s budget, funding for the program was cut by two-thirds from FY ’07, endangering the continuance of a large number of public safety programs across the United States. Although 218 Representatives and 56 Senators also have signed letters urging congressional leadership and appropriators to restore funding for this program, the outlook remains unclear.


Join Building America's Future Coalition

In a speech before the Economic Policy Institute in Washington, D.C. earlier this month, Pennsylvania Governor and former Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell warned that the infrastructure of “our major American cities are a few years away from totally crumbling” and called for local leaders to join a national effort to “create an environment where infrastructure is treated as a national priority.” This effort, Building America's Future, was founded by Rendell, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "Local government officials know better than anyone how important infrastructure is in our communities and to this country," wrote Rendell, Schwarzenegger and Bloomberg recently in a letter to local government leaders. "Infrastructure is a federal challenge. It requires a federal commitment of resources."

Joining Rendell in his assessment of the critical impact of the deteriorating infrastructure on metropolitan areas was the Urban Land Institute (ULI), which released a report showing that the U.S. lags far behind other nations in infrastructure investment. ULI became the latest group this year to highlight the daunting challenges of deteriorating infrastructure and the need for a new national commitment to fixing the nations roads, bridges and highways.

Notes of the Commission Workshop of May 19

On May 19, 2008, the Commission met at its Regular Commission Workshop, with a large crowd in attendance. The following are a list of items of interest:

1. PRESENTATION OF GREEN STANDARDS FOR EXISTING BUILDINGS (REQUESTED BY MAYOR RICHARD J. KAPLAN). A presentation was done under a Research Grant paid for by the Mayor, to study and recommend green standards for the City of Lauderhill to adopt. The recommendation to the Commission was to adopt the US Green Building Councils LEED Silver standard for Pre-Existing Buildings for operations, and the Florida Green Building Coalition standard for Landscaping Operations and Fleet Maintenance Operations. These standards, when adopted and implemented, will save the city on operational costs. It should be noted that in Florida House Bill 7135, which is going to the Governor for his signature, will mandate the cities to adopt such standards. In this particular case, the city is proceeding ahead of the new State law, and the city is expected to be in compliance with the new before it is required to be effective. Further legislation may be required to implement the law in a manner required by Florida Statute. The Commission supported the initiative with constructive comments.

2. DISCUSSION OF ORDINANCE NO. 080-02-105 TABLED AT THE APRIL 28TH, 2008 COMMISSION MEETING:

TO ALLOW AS A PERMITTED USE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL REGULATIONS A LARGE FAMILY DAY CARE HOME IN THE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY AT FOUR (RS-4) AND FIVE (RS-5) ZONING DISTRICT. After significant discussion with the public, a proposed major modification was presented to only grandfather those facilities in existence. Other issues and proposed solutions were considered and may be adopted as well. Presently there is one facility in operation with 12 children, three in operation that serve 10 children presently but have applied to increase it to 12, and one that has applied but is not in operation yet. Though not everyone is in agreement, consensus seem to agree to propose this solution in substitution of the present legislation at the next commission meeting on June 9. At this time, it is not known if the new legislation will be approved or not.

3. REVIEW OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE CHARTER REQUESTED BY MAYOR RICHARD J. KAPLAN AND REVIEWED BY THE CHARTER REVIEW BOARD.

A. AMEND SECTION 3.04 REGARDING THE FIRST MEETING FOR THE NEW CITY COMMISSION TO BE 14 DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION. The reasoning is that the city was notified that the Supervisor of Election can no longer certify the city results in the 3 days required by the City Charter. The extension of 14 days is hoped to be sufficient time for the Supervisor to complete their certification. Consensus of the Commission was to place it on an agenda.
B. AMEND SECTION 3.08(B) REGARDING THE FORFEITURE OF OFFICE. This is requested since the Charter prohibits the Commission from Interfering with the Administration. However, the Charter provides no penalties if it is violated. This section would provide there are penalties, plus a procedure for any penalties to be imposed for any violation within the Charter by Commissioners. With some additional modification, consensus of the Commission was to place it on an agenda.

4. DISCUSSION OF THE LACK OF VOLUNTEERS SERVING ON CITY BOARDS (REQUESTED BY MAYOR RICHARD J. KAPLAN). The city is in great need of volunteers to serve on city boards. There are several vacancies and at the same time Commissioners are requesting new boards to be created. Without volunteers, these boards cannot function. The purposes of the discussion is to determine how many vacancies we presently have, and what the Commission can do to consolidate boards or seek volunteers. The Commissions expressed they will do what they can to seek qualified applicants.

5. DISCUSSION OF JUNIOR LIFEGUARD CAMP AT VETERANS PARK (REQUESTED BY MAYOR RICHARD J. KAPLAN). At the request of the public, the Commission is reviewing the decision of the city to discontinue the Junior Lifeguard Camp due to lack of staffing and other financial constraints. The city explained that they had no qualified staffing to perform this function. It was also expressed that the cost per camper would have to increase from $600 to $2500 to fully cover the cost of this 9 week summer camp. It is hoped that next year a way could be found to hold the camp.

Broward Charter Review Commission Approves 10 Ballot Issues

Broward County’s Charter Review Commission (CRC) held its final public hearing on proposed changes to the Broward County Charter on April 9, approving 10 proposals to place on the November 4, 2008 general election ballot.

The issues approved for the November election:

Creation of a Metropolitan Transit Authority: Would create an advisory body to be known as the Metropolitan Transit Authority, governed by an appointed Board of Trustees, which will have the responsibility to recommend improvements to the County's public transit plan, programs, operations, and to assist with the coordination of a comprehensive, regional public transit system. ( NOTE: eLauderhill News has serious concerns about this proposal since it duplicates the purposes of the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization, which is already federally funded, provides for the same type of representation to each organization's board, does not give it authority to compel the Broward County Commission to take appropriate action, and therefore is not cost justified.)

· Non-Interference in County Administration: Would prohibit the County Commission or individual County Commissioners from interfering directly with County employees and provide that all recommendations to County Administration be made through the County Administrator, except for the purposes of formal inquiries and investigations. (eLauderhill News strongly supports)

· County Commission Meetings, Rules and Voting (Recusal): Would require Commissioners who recuse themselves due to a voting conflict resulting from a financial interest in the matter to leave the Commission chamber and not communicate or participate in any discussion. (eLauderhill News supports, but is concerned that by requiring the Commissioner to leave the Chamber it may be violating the Commissioners constitutional rights to attend public meetings)

· Broward County Housing Council: Would provide for a Broward County Housing Council to serve in a non-taxing advisory capacity to facilitate coordination between the County, municipalities, businesses and not-for-profit groups to address such issues as affordable and workforce housing and homelessness, and to make annual recommendations regarding streamlining governmental regulations and enhancing housing stability.

· Broward County Regionalism Policy Statements: Would add a policy statement to the Broward County Charter defining Broward County government’s duty to develop and implement programs, policies and budget with a countywide and regional focus, without being precluded from delivering services on a less than regional basis. (eLauderhill News lacks sufficient information to support or oppose. The confusion is that the statement appears to define the region as Broward County, and if so, then "countywide" and "regional" means the same thing. Besides, Broward County already implement programs primarily on a county-wide basis or less. If it defines "regional" as the tri-county region, then it may be reasonable and desirable. However, Broward County has no authority beyond its own borders.)

· Broward County Parks Preservation: Would designate County-owned parks as either natural area parks or regional parks, and would prohibit the sale, transfer or change of use of such parks without an affirmative vote of sixty percent (60%) of the electorate.

· Broward County Environmental Policy Statement: Would add an environmental policy statement to the Broward County Charter clarifying Broward County government’s duty to enact ordinances which protect its citizens’ right to a sustainable environment, including clean air and clean water, while encouraging the stewardship of natural resources. (eLauderhill News requires more information on how this would impact Broward County's ability to direct Cities or Communities through the use of unfunded mandates)

· Broward County Ethics Commission: Would create a Broward County Ethics Commission for the specific purpose of preparing a Code of Ethics regulating the behavior of Broward County Commissioners, to be considered by the County Commission and/or the electors of Broward County. (eLauderhill News strongly supports)

· Redistricting Process: Would provide for the use of an independent redistricting consultant to develop plans for redistricting of the County Commission’s single-member districts. (eLauderhill News strongly supports)

· One Year Hiatus between End of Management & Efficiency Study Committee (MESC) and Beginning of Charter Review Commission: Would require the MESC to meet in 2009 and every six (6) years thereafter in order to provide for a one (1) year hiatus between the meeting of the Charter Review Commission and MESC.

In addition to the proposed ballot questions, the CRC approved recommendations on the annexation of the County’s remaining unincorporated areas, continued funding for children’s services and support for a referendum election regarding the County Commission’s response to the MESC's final report. A proposal to expand the County Commission from nine members to 11, including the election of a County mayor, failed.

Notes of Commission Meeting and CRA Meeting of May 12

On May 12, the City Commission met for its CRA Meeting and Regular Commission Meeting. The following are some points of interest from those meetings:

CRA MEETING:

1. RENAISSANCE PLAZA VACANCY - The City is working to have business vacate the plaza, and eventually the facility will be torn down. However, we need to wait until all leases expires. One of the leases that we were working to buy out expires in July. Therefore, we are just allowing it to expire without buyout. In the meantime, we are renting out the remaining spaces for art related activities. Recently, a letter was received to provide space to "The West Side Poets Care & Cultural Theatre." The leases cover the expenses of the plaza.

2. BUSINESS AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE WITH SUZANO, BRAZIL - A delegation from Lauderhill is going to visit our sister city. Commission Holness is going on behalf of the city, but due to the objection of some residents concerning city paid foreign travel, the Commissioner is paying for this without city funds. However, this trip is solely for the city's benefit. In the fall, a delegation from Suzano shall be visiting our city.

3. BROWARD COUNTY HOUSING LINKAGE FEE - The CRA Board received a report concerning a fee to be created by the county on new development to fund affordable housing programs. At this point concerns related to the program were raised. Lauderhill's housing stock is adequate and affordable. The needs of the city is to improve the condition of the housing stock by rehabilitation of properties. Therefore, the fee would not be of any benefit to the city, and more likely it would be a detriment by discouraging businesses to develop.

4. STRATEGIC PLAN, FLORIDA BENCHMARKS, AND CRA PLAN - Lauderhill is developing a Strategic Plan which incorporate Benchmarks.

5. DIRECTOR’S REPORT - ULI Conference is moving forward. The dates are October 27-30, and the Broward Alliance is creating a Broward Pavilion at the conference in Miami.

Lauderhill Breaks Ground on New City Hall

Following the destruction of the old City Hall on 55th Avenue two years ago by Hurricane Wilma, the City of Lauderhill has been planning the construction of a new City Hall. Finally, after numerous designs and discussions, Lauderhill broke ground on the facility, which will be the first LEED Silver Certified City Hall in Florida.

The City Hall is located on Oakland Park Blvd., at the site of the old Publix/CVS. Total construction costs are $11.5 million, which was just about the same amount it would have cost to try to repair the old city hall with all of its problems. During inspections of the old city hall, black mold was found within the walls, plus numerous other issues were discovered. It was then decided that it would be best to invest in a new building, rather than trying to restore the old building.

The building is 40,000 square feet and 4 floors. Commission Chambers will be located on the first floor on the east side of the building. Parking will be in the rear of the property. Expected completion date is 2009, to correspond to the city's 50th Anniversary celebration.
