The countywide system operates three call centers: in Pines, Sunrise and Coconut Creek.

In other action, Broward commissioners:

SOLAR: Agreed to hire a consultant to help the county create a “solar cooperative,” or bulk purchasing program, to make rooftop solar panels more affordable for homeowners and to help them through the process. Commissioners also voted to officially oppose the November ballot question regarding solar energy, on the basis that it would “diminish access, reduce the competitiveness or other- wise create disincentives for solar investments.”

AIRPORT: Heard an update from Aviation Director Mark Gale about expansion and improvements at Fort LauderdaleHollywood International Airport. Gale said FLL is the “fastest-growing airport of any large hub airport in the United States.”

AMBULANCES: Debated but did not decide whether to allow more ambulance companies to operate in Broward.

AIRBNB: Postponed to Oct. 25 a decision on whether to sue Airbnb, a short-term vacation rental website, for unpaid tourist taxes. County staff said in a memo that Airbnb requested more time to negotiate with the county.
