Three Broward County Commissioners will address the Charter Review Commission (CRC) on Wednesday, February 14, 2007, beginning at 10 a.m. in room 430 of the Broward County Governmental Center, 115 South Andrews Ave. in Fort Lauderdale.
The interview schedule is as follows:

After the interviews, the CRC will vote on specific issues that will be addressed throughout the remainder of the term. These issues may eventually appear on the November 2008 ballot. Some of the issues that will be discussed and voted on will include the structure of Broward County Government, duties of the Mayor, election of Commissioners, ethics, census and re-districting, housing, children's services, land use planning, coordination of emergency management and fire-rescue services, and recommendations of the Management and Efficiency Study Committee.
A public hearing will follow the regularly scheduled CRC meeting at 2 p.m. in the Commission Chambers, room 422 at the Broward County Governmental Center.
The Charter Review Commission is authorized and empowered to conduct a comprehensive study of any or all phases of County government. The Charter Review Commission's term is from June 2006 to November 2008. All proposed amendments must be presented in ballot form by the County Commission to the electorate at the next general election in November 2008.
