City attorney outlines asset‑distribution clause in Southwest Authority interlocal amendment

Chair introduced item 5e, a proposed first amendment to the city’s interlocal agreement with the Southwest Authority (the regional solid‑waste authority). The city attorney explained that the amendment addresses distribution of the Authority’s assets in the event of dissolution and clarifies how assets would be allocated among member cities and Broward County.

The city attorney summarized the provision as an asset‑distribution mechanism to cover “if the authority is dissolved… how the assets of the authority will be distributed among, obviously, the 31, 32 cities and including, Broward County.” The amendment was described as the purpose of the change and is placed on the Wednesday agenda for fuller discussion.

No vote or final allocation formula was presented during the agenda preview; staff indicated the issue will involve a longer conversation at the public meeting.
