The City Commission is considering a resolution to enter a sponsorship agreement with Broward County under the 'Broward Welcomes the World' FIFA 2026 initiative, accepting up to $125,000 in reimbursement-based funding. The resolution also authorizes Lauderhill to act as a pass-through administrator, issuing subawards to other participating Broward municipalities and requiring a 1:1 match from the city and each subrecipient.
Note: The resolution title does not specify the source of the underlying funding (federal, state, or county), which affects what grant compliance rules apply; that detail would need to be confirmed in the agreement itself.
