Sunrise Approves Second Amendment to Solid Waste Disposal Agreement, Enhancing City Options
The City Commission approved the second amendment to the interlocal agreement for solid waste disposal and recyclable materials processing with the Authority of Broward County, Florida. This amendment allows for a further unconditional opt-out at the end of 2027. The amendment was unanimously approved by the Executive Committee and Governing Board, aiming to provide cities with more leverage in decision-making regarding waste disposal and recycling services by 2027. The city manager noted that this provides cities more options and negotiation power.
Sunrise Commissioners Express Frustration Over Oakland Park Boulevard's Condition, Urge County Action
The City Commission discussed the poor condition of Oakland Park Boulevard, a county-maintained road. Commissioners expressed frustration with the ongoing issues, including potholes and patching that do not last, and the lack of a clear timeline for repaving. The city has previously listed repaving as a priority for county surtax dollars, which were allocated for a bike lane and multi-use path, but these projects were put on hold due to the county's BRT project. The city manager indicated that the county acknowledges the need for repaving but cites higher countywide priorities. The Commission plans to send official correspondence to the county to urge action.
Sunrise Ordinance Restricts E-bikes, Scooters in Parks to Enhance Safety
The City Commission discussed the creation of an ordinance to prohibit the use of electric bicycles, motorized scooters, and motorized mobility devices in public parks, except on park roads and in designated parking areas. This measure is a response to safety concerns and damage to park grounds caused by the misuse of these devices. Commissioners emphasized that while the ordinance aims to improve safety and preserve parks, enforcement must be balanced and focus on education rather than solely penalizing young users. The ordinance passed, but the commission requested ongoing updates on its implementation and effectiveness.
Sunrise Proclaims June 19th, 2026 as Juneteenth Day

The proclamation acknowledges Juneteenth as the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States, observed annually on June 19th. It emphasizes the historical significance of the Emancipation Proclamation and the delayed delivery of freedom to all enslaved people, particularly in Texas. The proclamation also highlights Juneteenth as an opportunity to honor the principles of the Declaration of Independence and celebrate the contributions of African Americans to the city, state, and nation, encouraging residents to respect differences and work together.
