​​​Broward County is accepting applications for the Independent Transportation Surtax Oversight Board in the category of Architecture.

The purpose of the Oversight Board is to provide accountability and transparency in the expenditure of Transportation Surtax proceeds by confirming the statutory eligibility and providing ongoing oversight of Transportation Surtax projects and expenditures.

The Oversight Board is comprised of 9 members including one professional in the category of Architecture described as “a person who holds a professional degree and has practical experience in Architecture.”
