COMMUNITY NEWS LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Welcome to our November CITY NEWS magazine, our special holiday edition. We welcome the snowbirds back but with them come the traffic and crowds. We need to learn to live with it. More readers and more sales are good for all of us. Since my husband and I bought the magazine group one year ago, we have grown our magazine group by adding Boca’s Best, an upscale bi-monthly being mailed to 50,000+ homes and businesses, east of the Turnpike. No other local magazine saturates an area like our magazines do(Coral Springs/Parkland, West Boca, Coconut Creek/Margate and Boca Raton.) We now mail to over 110,000 homes and businesses. We thank all our communities for their support and feedback about our magazines. This month, City News/Boca’s Best are sponsoring 3 charity events. If you go to any of the

Lucy & Jerry

3 events, please introduce yourself to Jerry and I. If unable to attend, please support the cause. We have a local golf tournament, a Veterans event and a 5K Walk, something for everyone.

With Election Day coming, we hope the country can put all the angst generated by the Presidential election behind us. We have our own famous celebrity here in Parkland running for Commissioner, Ken Cutler. To see the community service Ken does along with the other fantastic people involved with all our cities, just moves us. It makes us want to publish a constantly improving magazine. Thanks to you, we will.

Even more groundbreaking, we are now introducing a Print/Social Media Package that will help alleviate many of our advertisers who fear that they will be left out of the Social Media Craze.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

BY ALAN J. REINDFELD, ESQ

Losing Control with Joint Ownership

W

hen it comes to estate planning, one should always be aware of the possibility of losing control with joint ownership. At Reinfeld & Cabrera, P.A. we want you to understand that while joint ownership may have some important benefits, there are some aspects that can cause a lot of problems later on.

exceptions may apply. But when the second or last owner dies the property will then be inherited by her family. Scenarios like this can happen to any family (even blended families with children from separate marriages for example) and are becoming an ever-increasing problem.

Joint ownership, also known as joint tenancy with right of survivorship, is the most common form of joint ownership. For example, in most marriages most assets are jointly owned. Joint ownership with the right of survivorship is different than other types of joint ownership with one important defining feature – if one partner in the joint ownership dies, ownership is automatically transferred to the other partner(s). This can be seen as both a blessing and a curse. It is a blessing because property shared through joint ownership does not undergo the probate process, thus eliminating some major expenses. The only exception is if there is no other partner for the property to go to (if, for example, both die at the same time or if the last owner does not declare another joint owner before their death) in which case the property will be subject to the probate process.

Some other problems that may occur with joint ownership include gift and income tax, the increased risk of being named in a lawsuit, of a person who owns the property with you being named in a lawsuit, losing the asset to a creditor, limiting your tax planning options, the difficulty of removing unwanted co-owners, and the court possibly becoming a “new” co-owner if your partner becomes incapacitated etc.

While the benefit of avoiding probate may be a big draw card to many people, an experienced attorney will always make you aware of any potential dangers and how you can avoid them with proper estate planning. Call Reinfeld & Cabrera, P.A. today for a free estate planning consultation to see how you can avoid losing control of your assets.

The real problem comes in with the fact that property transferred through joint ownership to any remaining partners is not controlled by any wills because transfer of property takes place immediately upon death. It passes outside the probate process, and therefore is not considered an assets for the purpose of Probate. The asset is now completely under the control of the surviving owner(s) and they can do whatever they please with it. This could result in you unintentionally disinheriting your own family. This happens most often when siblings are in joint ownership. If one dies, the property will not be inherited by his family regardless of what his will may say,

The Law Office of Reinfeld & Cabrera, P.A. is conveniently located at 10235 W Sample Rd # 207, Coral Springs, FL. The law firm is bilingual and offers a free initial consultation by phone or in person. To speak with an attorney, call 954334-1520 or 1-855-LAWS-123.

S

offer Vein and Vascular, a division of the Soffer Health Institute, specializes in treatment for varicose and spider veins. Dr Ariel Soffer is a Nationally Recognized Vein Expert and board certified Cardiovascular Specialist. If you experience restless legs, numbness, tingling, cramping, burning, swelling or an achy feeling in your legs the Soffer vein experts can help. It is quite common for these symptoms to develop as men and women age. Besides the discomfort it can make you want to hide your legs as spider veins and varicose veins become very visible. Lymphdema (a condition that occurs when the network of vessels, veins and arteries that circulate fluids through is not functioning properly) will cause swelling and damage to the skin. Fortunately these conditions are all treatable.

For many years people have had to go to Soffer’s facility in Miami for treatment but Soffer Vein and Vascular now has a location in Deerfield Beach convenient to West Boca, Parkland, Coral Springs Coconut Creek, Margate and all of North Broward County. Located at Total Medical, this unique location is one of the only in the area that has state of the art treatments for varicose and spider veins, leg swelling and discomfort, physical therapy for the legs, custom fit medical compressions stockings, and one of the only dedicated lymphedema centers in South Florida.

It’s Their Business

BY JOSEPH BUCHINO

The Snowbirds Are Coming!!

It’s that time of year again. The traffic is more congested, lines are longer at grocery stores, restaurants are packed by 6pm… The winter visitors, aka “snowbirds”, are arriving in full force! This happens every year in Florida and who could blame them? If I lived up north, I would also make the trip down here to beat the cold.

The winter visitors bring a lot of business with them. One business in particular that seems to stay busy during the season is the emergency restoration business. Every year during this season, our mold remediation workload seems to double for the months of November and December.

This is due to a number of things. I would say the majority of our mold remediation work is related to the A/C unit.

Proper maintenance of an A/C unit is very important, especially in Florida where they run all year long.

Here are some tips to save you money and help prevent any damage to your property: - Make sure you have someone physically checking on your property at least once a month. A good property manager or a friend can do this. Some of the best property managers will go as far as to send you updated pictures of your property.

- You can prevent mold from developing on your property by using a programmable thermostat. Have it programmed to run your AC at 72° for two hours in the morning and 85° the rest of the time. This will prevent mold by removing moisture from the air during cooler hours.

- Use portable dehumidifiers. Be sure you do your research on them and buy the correct number of dehumidifiers you would need to dehumidify your entire house/condo.

- One of the best investments I made was a NEST Thermostat. It is referred to as a “learning thermostat” because it can create a schedule, its proven to save energy, and you can control it from a smart phone. I highly suggest investing in the NEST thermostat or one similar to it.

- Flush out you’re A/C drain line before you leave for an extended period of time. This will save you a lot of heart ache in the long run. Nothing worse than arriving at your home, A/C is working properly, but you have water damage due to a clogged drain line.

- I always suggest having you’re A/C coils cleaned. Your A/C has been running all year long and probably hasn’t had the filter changed. If your filter hasn’t been changed

all year, the coils start to act like a filter attracting dirt, mold, and other contaminants.

These are just suggestions, as I am not a licensed A/C technician. These are tips that I have picked up over my tenure and tips I’ve utilize. If you have any questions concerning air conditioning, I recommend you talk to a reputable A/C company.

I am a licensed restoration expert. I deal with any and all kinds of water mitigation, mold remediation, fire/smoke and biohazard/trauma clean up.

During the month of October Margate Police Officers were trained by Margate Resident Victoria McHale and her son on Autism Training and Advocacy. This valuable training teaches officers about autism spectrum disorder from a parent’s perspective and through the eyes of an autistic child. This training was invaluable to these officers.

The Margate Police Department played an active role in the City’s Annual Student Government Day, which was held on October 18th.

Students from Margate STEM Magnet Middle School’s Student Council spent the day learning about the day-to-day operations of the City, touring various City departments and getting an upclose view of police units, vehicles and equipment. Here, the students learned about the Special Response Team, toured the Chief’s Office and learned about criminal investigations.

The Margate Police Department is always recruiting youth for the Police Explorer Program. Anyone interested should contact Neighborhood Policing Division at (954) 972-1232.

Back To School-2 Last month’s column addressed the American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning Credits available for taxpayers who pay qualified education expenses.

While credits are generally more favorable than deductions, there are numerous tax provisions that grant tax deductions or other benefits for education related expenses. In most cases, taxpayers cannot utilize both credits and deductions in the same tax year.

In addition, the various deductions have different phase-outs based on modified adjusted gross income. The deductions themselves may apply to different types of expenditures. Below is a quick summary of some of the available education expense deductions and other benefits that may be useful. Coordinating the use of credits, deductions and other tax benefits can be a complex matter. It is important to consult your tax advisor to maximize your benefits.

Commonly Utilized Education Deductions:

1. Student Loan Interest Deduction: Interest expense paid on student loans for dependents is deductible up to $2,500 of interest per year on qualifying student loans. Married filing joint phase out begins at $130,000 of gross income, with full phase out after $160,000 of gross income.

2. Use of Retirement Funds For Qualifying Education: IRA funds can be accessed to pay qualifying education expenses on a penalty free basis for taxpayers under age 59 ½. The 10% early distribution penalty will not apply, to the extent funds are used for qualified education expenses.

3. U.S. Savings Bond Series EE and I: Interest income can be excluded to the extent funds are used for qualified tuition and fees. These funds must be used for the taxpayer, the spouse, or dependents.

Married taxpayers must file a joint return to secure the exclusion. A phase out applies to married filing joint taxpayers, with adjusted gross income starting at $116,300, with full phase out at $146,300.

PLEASE CALL 954-255-5226

4. Above the Line Deduction for Qualified Tuition: An above the line deduction for up to $4,000 of qualified tuition is available for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross

ta x a n d a d v i s o r y s e r v i c e s

income (“MAGI”) up to $130,000. If MAGI is between $130,000 and $160,000, the maximum deduction is $2,000.

Over $160,000 of MAGI, no deduction is permitted.

5. Qualified Tuition Plans (Section 529): States sponsor Section 529 Plans. Each State has its own rules and regulations.

Generally, all income grows tax free with distributions for qualifying education expenses non-taxable as well. There are no Federal deductions upon contribution, but many states do provide meaningful deductions.

6. Education Expenses Incurred as Part of a Trade or Business: Enhancing one’s skills in a current trade or business can result in an important tax deduction. So long as the education enhances skills, rather than enables one to enter a new trade or business, the expenses may be deductible. If expenses are deductible, all related expenditures, such as travel, over-night stays, and related meals, might also be deductible. These expenses would qualify as excess itemized deductions reportable on Schedule A. Despite all this complexity in determining which education credits and deductions provide the best results, meaningful tax savings can be achieved. Because each of the above-noted provisions have their own separate rules and regulations, it is important all taxpayers incurring education expenses become familiar with the provisions, so they can maximize their benefits as they incur today’s high cost of education.

More information is available on these matters in Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education, available on the Internal Revenue Service website.

Margate Vice Mayor Joyce W. Bryan Honored As Mayor

Let’s Talk Business

If you are starting or already own a business, let me review or draft your documents BEFORE you sign anything.

It may be easier to protect you and your business NOW than to potentially litigate problems in court LATER.

Vice Mayor Joyce W. Bryan, the City of Margate’s first African-American elected official, was named Mayor for two weeks. Bryan, who announced she will not be seeking re-election in November, was next in line for the Mayor’s seat. During the last City Commission Meeting on September 21st, Mayor Tommy Ruzzano suggested she take the seat until after the next City Commission meeting on October 5th. The Commission unanimously agreed.

“The person who is sitting to the left of me.…probably would have been the Mayor for next year,” Ruzzano Mayor Joyce said during the September 21st meeting. “This was something you should have had…..and I hope you will accept it.”

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements.

W. Bryan

After unsuccessfully running for office four times, Bryan was elected to the Margate City Commission in a 2014 special election. Bryan’s name is etched in Margate’s history as the City’s first black Commissioner, Vice Mayor and Mayor.

“I am humbled by this very kind gesture by Mayor Ruzzano and my fellow commissioners,” Bryan said. “I hold this position with the highest esteem, just like my other positions, but being Mayor is something I never thought I’d have the opportunity to do since I am leaving the dais.”

Bryan, who is originally from New Jersey, has called Margate home for nearly two decades. She is a certified teacher’s assistant with the School Board of Broward County and currently serves on several Boards and Committees including the Margate Community Redevelopment Agency, Northwest Focal Point Senior Center District, Margate Parks and Recreation Trust Board and the Margate Initiative for Community Action and Hope (M.I.C.A.H.) of which she is a founding member. She is a member of the Relay for Life Team and enjoys spending time with her family and being an active member of her church.

She is a wife, a mother and a grandmother. Bryan says although she will miss being in office, she looks forward to spending more time with her loved ones and having more time to travel.

“I will continue to do the best that I can for the residents of Margate,” she said.

“Although I will not be an elected official after November, you’ll see me around. I will still serve my community that I love so much.”

Mayor Joyce W. Bryan will run the next City Commission Meeting on Wednesday, October 5th beginning at 7 p.m. at Margate City Hall. The Meeting will be streamed live online at margatefl.com.

Nutrition And Plastic Surgery When discussing cosmetic enhancements of the face and body, patients often focus on the procedures and products available and ignore the significance of nutrition.

At the cellular level, the aging process is characterized by mitochondrial damage, inflammation and glycation. Plastic surgery addresses the external signs of aging.

Proper nutrition, including diet and supplements, can not only slow the aging process, but also ensure that the patient heals properly after surgery. Adequate Vitamin C is necessary for collagen production which strengthens a wound and fights free radical damage. Other less often mentioned antioxidants which are more potent are resveratrol (found in red wine) and pycnogenol (pine bark extract). Both have demonstrated clinical efficacy in reducing inflammation in the body and reversing the signs of aging. Patients often prefer nonfat supplements, which at times are actually higher in sugar and more damaging to the body. Too much sugar in your diet leads to increased levels of insulin and can progress to fat infiltration in the liver. Unsaturated fatty acids such as Omega-3 and Omega-6 are essential fatty acids that are good for the body. They are often found in plant foods such as vegetable oils, nuts (almonds, walnuts) and seeds (flax) and in fish such as salmon. It is the saturated fats and trans fats that should be avoided as much as possible. These are found in butter, red meat, and high fat dairy products. Recently, scientists have presented conflicting evidence as to the benefits of Omega-7 fatty acids. Palmitoleic acid is not an essential fatty acid, meaning our bodies can manufacture it from other nutrients and we don’t need to get it from food. Experimental studies have shown it to be beneficial in reducing heart disease and triglyceride levels. More controlled clinical trials are necessary to determine the health benefits of this omega.

As we age, our metabolism changes and hormone levels decrease, and the effects of years of cellular damage from poor dietary habits and lack of proper nutrition become more evident. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown in studies to reduce fat and preserve muscle tissue. CLA helps you lose weight faster by reducing fat storage introduced by your daily diet and accelerating fat metabolism within the existing adipose (fat) tissue. Similarly, L-carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid which plays a vital role in the metabolism of fat. It functions as a transporter of fatty acids into the mitochondria-the metabolic furnace of the cell. Carnitine boosts energy by stimulating the body’s burning of triglycerides as fuel. L-carnitine allows the body to burn more fat.

No pill or supplement is a substitute for a balanced healthy diet, including some degree of calorie restriction, low-glycemic foods, coupled with both cardiovascular and weight-bearing exercise. Patients should know that not all supplements affect each individual in the same manner. If you are uncertain whether you should be taking a specific supplement because of health conditions or medications you are taking, consult with your physician first.

Get Picky About Pet Food Good nutrition puts pets on track for better health

100% NO-KILL SOCIETY

(Family Features) When a beloved family pet experiences health problems, it can take a toll on the whole family. In some cases, it can take weeks or even months to identify the problem, and more importantly, where the solution lies.

In some cases, the answer is as simple as changing what your pet eats.

Puppies Kittens Dogs Cats

If you’ve always thought all pet foods were equal, think again. Veterinarian-developed formulas, such as those offered by Diamond CARE, are created for pets with unique dietary needs but also provide affordable complete nutrition, without sacrificing quality or taste, so you can feed your pets the special diet they need for as long as they need it.

Learn more about these common ailments that may be corrected with a new highquality feeding regimen, and talk with your veterinarian about a treatment plan to get your pet back to better health.

Zorro Male, 8 week old Parson Russel Terrier

Thank You to our media sponsors:

While a rash or other skin irritation can be an obvious sign that your pet has sensitive skin, other behaviors such as excessive scratching, biting and licking can also signal a problem. Identifying the cause is essential to bringing your pet comfort. Skin irritation among pets is generally caused by something in their environment, such as an allergy, a parasitic infection or in more extreme cases, a neurogenic or infectious condition.

Skin problems can also arise from poor nutrition.

If your dog has skin sensitivities that might be related to diet or allergic skin disease, try a diet with hydrolyzed salmon as the single animal protein source. Ingredients such as omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids have also been shown to be beneficial to skin and coat health. Some sensitive skin formulas not only contain hydrolyzed salmon but are grain-free and made with peas to enhance the flavor and provide high-quality carbohydrates.

Weight Management A few extra pounds on your dog or cat may not seem like a cause for concern, but too much weight can cause a long list of health problems. Just like humans, one of the best ways to counter a weight problem in pets is to adjust what they’re eating.

An option such as Diamond CARE Weight Management Formula for Adult Dogs or Adult Cats can help address your pet’s weight issue without leaving it feeling hungry. Powdered cellulose, a source of insoluble fiber, helps your pet feel full, while L-Carnitine aids the body in metabolizing fat. To make sure your pet gets all the nutrients needed, this formula is rounded out with omega fatty acids, guaranteed antioxidants and probiotics developed specially for canine and feline digestive health.

Talking with your veterinarian can help identify other ways to help your pet lose weight and also help you rule out any underlying medical concerns that may be causing weight gain or preventing your pet from being as active as it should be.

By Dr. LaL BhagchanDani

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

O

bstructive Sleep Apnea is a common disorder.

If you have OSA, it means that your airways collapse partly or all of the way while you are sleeping. Muscles of upper airway relax when you fall asleep. If you sleep on your back, gravity can cause tongue to fall back. This narrows the airway and can reduce the amount of air getting in the lungs. Narrowed airways causes snoring by making tissue in the back of throat vibrate. Apnea is when the airway is completely closed, so breathing temporarily stops. The airway can collapse repeatedly during the night. Air cannot get in to your lungs, resulting in lack of oxygen. You wake up so you can start breathing again. Frequent awakenings at night can cause sleepiness during the day. Lack of oxygen and frequent nighttime awakenings have negative consequences for your health.

Signs of Obstructive Sleep Apnea 1. Loud or frequent snoring.

2. Choking or gasping while you sleep.

3. Morning headaches.

4. Daytime sleepiness or tiredness.

5. Trouble concentrating.

Who is at risk for OSA?

You are at increased risk if you are: 1. Overweight.

2. Hypertension.

3. Male with a neck size of 17 inches or more.

4. Female with a neck size of 16 inches or more.

5. Male over the age of 40.

6. Female over the age of 50.

2. Dental oral appliances, which are made by the dentist. They bring the tongue and jaw forward to keep the area beyond the tongue open.

3. Surgical option, UPPP which is done by the ENT specialist.

Not all people with OSA have risks factors. Children can have OSA as a result of large tonsils or narrow airways.

Young adults even those who are physically fit may also have OSA.

4. Also, the lifestyle change including quitting smoking, quitting alcohol, reducing weight, sleeping on the side, and keeping the head at 30 degrees also help for the sleep apnea.

How is OSA diagnosed?

5. New treatment option INSPIRE therapy, also available in selective population.

Your health care provider can refer you to a sleep specialist. Sleep study can occur at a sleep center or at your home.

When you’re spending time with family It’s easy to catch a carefree spirit while you’re running the bases in an impromptu game of backyard baseball or being tempted by yet another imaginary dessert from the kiddie kitchen.

IgnIte Your Power

BY TracY, Life & Leadership coach

Listening Works!

I dedicate this article to my unparalleled mother, Toby Litt. Her work as a communication specialist and spiritual guide continues to power and inspire me every day. The name of her company was Listening Works.

Few of us have been taught to listen because so few of us have been listened to.

First as children, then as adults… we live in a society of impatience, distraction, of multi-tasking and self-serving agendas.

We are in such need to be heard, to share what we have to say, to explain our side of the argument-- to show what we know.

We enter conversations with our point or angle in mind. Sometimes it’s as if you let the other person speak just so you can get your turn to say what you need to say. To be right or to win.

When we don’t listen, we all lose.

Did you know that most conflicts and challenges we experience are caused by ineffective listening which translates into miscommunication?

Yup, it’s true!

So how do you know what kind of listener you are? Let’s take a look at the three levels of listening: 1. Subjective Listening: Also known as “selfish listening” because the listening is based on the agenda and needs of the listener. Whatever is said is heard through the experience of the listener.

This type of listening rarely satisfies the person who is speaking.

Speaker: I’m so upset that I missed my son’s soccer game.

Listener: Yeah, I missed my daughter’s play once and I felt awful.

2. Objective Listening: Also known as “selfless listening” because the listening is completely focused on the speaker.

There are no thoughts about how it relates personally to the listener and can be very effective. It allows the speaker to feel heard.

www.CityNewsMagaziNe.CoM

CCM_NOVEM_2016.indd 37

Speaker: I’m so upset that I missed my son’s soccer game.

Listener: Seems like you’re really disappointed.

3. Intuitive Listening: Also known as “powerful listening” because the listener is hearing all components and intuitively connecting with the speaker’s real message. The listener is not only paying attention to the words, but also tone, emotion, and energy, as well as what is not being said. This level of listening creates the deepest connection with the speaker.

Speaker: I’m so upset that I missed my son’s soccer game.

Listener: Being so upset is totally understandable. It seems like like you’re feeling really down on yourself about it and what it may mean about everything you are trying to balance right now.

In life, we all listen at all the levels. After all, you’re human. But by being more aware, you can take steps to reach for those deeper levels.

I will say this, to powerfully listen is to hear with the intention to understand. To powerfully listen we must be silent, we must be present in the moment, we must pay attention, we must be curious, we must be open-minded and vulnerable.

And most importantly, we must kick our EGO to the curb.

roward County Public Schools (BCPS) strategic focus on early learning and literacy is getting national support. Today, BCPS and the non-profit organization Children’s Literacy Initiative (CLI) announced an exciting partnership and grant funding to support early literacy development in kindergarten through third grade students.

The announcement and kickoff celebration at Plantation Elementary School included School Board members, Superintendent Robert W. Runcie, CLI representatives, District staff and local community leaders, as well as reading activities by students.

Children’s Literacy Initiative (CLI) is a non-profit organization focused on strengthening education in the United States by ensuring students can read by the end of third grade. In November 2015, CLI was awarded $19.5 million from the 2015 Investing in Innovation (i3 grant) competition from the U.S. Department of Education. CLI is using this funding to expand its program into four school districts across the nation, including Broward County Public Schools – the only school district in Florida chosen to participate.

As part of the CLI partnership, seven BCPS schools are receiving personalized, one-on-one teacher coaching, research-based literacy training, small group coaching, books and materials. The seven schools are: Charles Drew Elementary School, Forest Hills Elementary School, Palmview Elementary School, Pines Lakes Elementary School, Plantation Elementary School, Sanders Park Elementary School and Stirling Elementary School.

The Children’s Services Council of Broward County and the United Way of Broward County were also recognized during today’s ceremony for their financial support of this important initiative, through a matching funds requirement in the grant.

“Ensuring our students have the skills they need to be independent readers by third grade is vital to their overall educational success. Creating a strong reading foundation starts with providing our students high-quality early learning and literacy experiences,” said BCPS Superintendent Robert W.

Runcie. “We’re excited about the opportunities that our CLI partnership and the ongoing support from our local community provide for the benefit our students and teachers.”

“Children’s Literacy Initiative and BCPS are up to something big. We will not only dramatically increase the number of Broward students reading on grade level by the end of third grade, but we will also demonstrate what great public school teachers can do when given effective support,” said Dr. Joel Zarrow, chief executive officer, Children’s Literacy Initiative. “The commitment of BCPS teachers and the leadership of Superintendent Runcie and his team are exactly why we sought them out as partners on the i3 initiative. “ The BCPS and CLI partnership builds upon the vision of the Broward Reads Campaign for Grade Level Reading, which unites local community partners in an effort to increase third grade reading proficiency for all children. Broward Reads community partners include Children’s Services Council of Broward County, BCPS, Early Learning Coalition of Broward County, United

“Committed to educating all students to reach their highest potential.”

Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) is the sixth largest school district in the nation and the second largest in the state of Florida. BCPS is Florida’s first fully accredited school system since 1962. BCPS has over 271,000 students and approximately 175,000 adult students in 236 schools, centers and technical colleges, and 101 charter schools. BCPS serves a diverse student population, with students representing 208 different countries and 181 different languages. To learn more, visit browardschools.com.

Penny Sales Tax Hike On Broward, PB County Ballots

By Dale King While voters across the nation are gearing up for the long-awaited nov. 8 election that will decide the U.S. presidency for at least the next four years along with a bevy of state and federal contests, those who cast ballots in Broward and Palm Beach counties face an even more personal issue - a financial one – when they go to the polls.

The electorate in the two massive South Florida counties will decide whether to tack another penny on every dollar they spend on items covered by the current 6 percent state sales tax. actually, the ballot questions are different in each county, but the net result is the same – an increase from 6 to 7 percent. and the destination for the cash raised – if voters choose to add another copper Lincoln coin to what they are already paying for their taxable goods – is virtually the same, though Palm Beach County is earmarking 50 percent of total revenue raised to schools.

Voters in Broward face a pair of ballot questions which will each add a half-cent to the sales tax. Official estimates say the additional penny will add up to $12.6 billion over the 30 life of the increased tax and will be spent mainly on infrastructure, in particular, transportation-related projects.

Broward residents who cast ballots on election Day will have to adopt both measures to make the effort work. if one question fails, the other does, too.

Meanwhile, in communities from Boca Raton north to the Martin County line, the electorate will be asked to hike the sales tax from 6 to 7 percent for the next decade.

The temporary penny-added tax is expected to generate $2.7 billion in new revenue. Half the money will be paid out for improvements to school buildings, general infrastructure such as roads, bridges and drainage and amenities such as parks and fire stations, said Todd Bonlarron, assistant Palm Beach County administrator.

Florida allows its 67 counties to add to the base 6 percent sales tax figure. Bonlarron said Broward and Palm Beach are two of only nine counties that have not puffed up the bottom line.

The county official did note that Palm Beach added a half-cent to the sales tax a few years ago. But that, he noted, was “a good example of government putting a tax on the table and having it expire.” it also shows how the county can put a plan in place, execute it and monitor it until it fades into the sunset.

Both Bonlarron and gretchen Cassini, assistant to Broward County administrator Bertha Henry, said no organized opposition has emerged to the measures

in either county. The Broward official said the two ballot questions came about through a “very difficult process.”

For nine months, Broward was unable to reach an accord with the 31 cities on a plan to increase the sales tax. Finally, she said, “we negotiated with all the communities” to create ballot language they could support.

Cassini said she didn’t want to speculate on whether the ballot question will pass, she did say, “it was polling more than 50 percent [favorable] before we did our outreach.”

Realtors, she said, have expressed concerns about the entire initiative. Some residents as well as the federal government are also griping about using the sales tax instead of the property tax to rebuild, restructure and revamp the counties’ innards. in Broward County, every level gets a piece of the pie.

The county will get 50 percent of the revenue for the life of the penny sales tax for transportation purposes that include light rail expansion and traffic light synchronization. in addition, unincorporated Broward and the 31 municipalities will get the rest of the cash for projects like road repairs, for 20 years. During the final 10 years of the three-decade assessment hike, 60 percent of revenue will be turned over to Broward’s communities for infrastructure work. The other 40 percent will be shuttled off to the county for regional projects. in Palm Beach County, government leaders say the tax is need to fix a backlog of problems that began to pile

up during the Recession of 2007-2008 and beyond.

The 50 percent chunk in PBC goes to the school district to repair and upgrade schools and their campuses. Bonlarron said Boca Raton education facilities are in line for some cash; specifically, J.C. Mitchell elementary School, due to get $1 million, and Boca Raton elementary School.

The other half of the money would be split between the county government and the county’s 39 cities and towns. PBC will take 30 percent and the municipalities split the other 20 percent based on their respective populations.

The county government plans to spend its share — $810 million – largely to repair roads, bridges, government buildings and other facilities. like the school district, county government plans to spend a large portion – at least 12 percent – on new projects, including new parks, buildings, streetlights, sidewalks, sheriff’s office substations and a homeless shelter.

Bridge replacement and resurfacing of roads are in order in Boca Raton, Bonlarron said, including lyons Road and Military Trail, SW 18th Street and Palmetto Park Road. Park improvements will include work at the South County Regional Park in West Boca, including several new features. if the Broward questions fail, said Cassini, “things won’t get any better. There will be no rail beyond the street and no ability to create east-west express buses.” if Palm Beach County turns thumbs down, Bonlarron said officials will have to “look at alternatives – ad valorem taxes, bonding, and service cuts.
