POMPANO BEACH, Florida
According to the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel the Pompano Beach City Commission gave initial approval to a contract with the Broward Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday night (6/22/10). The contract is reported to be worth $37.25 million. There were two commissioners who voted against the proposed deal, Hardin and Dockswell. There were about 50 Broward Sheriff Office Deputies at the commissions discussion meeting. A second public hearing is scheduled for July 6, 2010. If the contract passed , it would last until Sept. 30, 2014.
This initial step forward should allow the Pompano Beach Deputies to worry a bit less about their future and supporting their families and get back to focusing on their everyday responsibilities. As the pompano contract is closer to being signed, Sheriff Lamberti will be able to move forward with contracts with the other Broward county cities that have contracts up for renewal; Dania Beach, Deerfield Beach, Lauderdale Lakes and Oakland Park.
