Hallandale Beach commission approves two first‑reading ordinances: landing permissions and pension amendment

The Hallandale Beach City Commission approved two ordinances on first reading during its meeting.

The first ordinance, introduced by the mayoral presiding speaker, amends Chapter 4 Section 4‑12 of the city code to allow the city manager to authorize air-cap landings on city property. The item was opened as a public hearing; no members of the public signed up to speak. The commission closed the public hearing, a motion to approve on first reading was made and seconded, and the motion carried by roll call, 4‑0.

The second item (Item 9B) is a city manager‑brought amendment to the City of Hallandale Beach Code: Chapter 21 (personnel), article 4 (retirement), division 2 (pension plan), revising definitions and service retirement benefits and the deferred retirement option plan (DROP). That public hearing also attracted no public speakers. Following motion and second, the commission approved the ordinance on first reading by roll call, 4‑0.

Meeting roll calls recorded affirmative votes for four members and noted one commissioner absent for each of the votes; no individual movers or seconders were named in the public transcript. The motions were recorded as first‑reading approvals; no amendments or conditions were recorded in the meeting transcript.

Both ordinances will proceed to subsequent steps required by the city code for final adoption, including future readings and codification procedures.
