BILLS: REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR or BUDGET/POLICY CHIEF 1) Local Administration & Veterans Affairs 15 Y, 1 N, As Darden Miller Subcommittee CS 2) State Affairs Committee 20 Y, 0 N Darden Williamson SUMMARY ANALYSIS The Port of Palm Beach District (Port) is an independent special district located in Palm Beach County. The Port was created by special act in 1915 and its charter was re-codified in 1974 and 2017. The Port is the fourth busiest container port in Florida, the 18th busiest in the continental U.S., and is a major shipper of Florida goods such as bulk sugar and produce. The Port is governed by a Board of Commissioners (Board), comprised of five members elected at-large to serve four-year terms. Commissioners receive $9,500 per year as compensation, with no provision for increases or cost of living adjustments, and must post a surety bond of $25,000 upon taking office. The Board may hire a port manager to direct the day-to-day operations of the Port. The bill: Provides that newly elected commissioners take office in the January following the general election at which they are elected. Repeals the requirement that each commissioner must execute a $25,000 surety bond upon taking office and the additional $25,000 surety bond required of the commissioner selected as secretary- treasurer of the Board. Increases the compensation of commissioners from $9,500 to $12,500 annually.

  • 2018 Update of Tables and Figures
    2018 Update of Tables and Figures August 2019 INTRODUCTION This document provides an update to the majority of data tables and figures provided in the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) 2015 Florida Seaport System Plan. The annual updating of seaport system plan data allows FDOT to: implement the plan using the latest industry metrics; provide analysis of long-term trends; and, provide a foundation for future five-year plan updates. The information collected for this update are the 2018 seaport metrics including the number of containers in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), cargo tonnages, total number of revenue cruise passengers, and several other items. The primary source of the data is the individual Florida Seaports and the Florida Seaport Five-Year Mission Plans. In addition, some of the data comes from official government sources. Maintaining this data on an annual basis will lay the foundation of information necessary for the 2020 Florida Seaport Plan to build upon. The purpose statement and vision of the 2015 plan are restated below. The updated Figures and Tables follow. It should be noted, not all tables and figures in the 2015 plan were updated as: some data sources are not updated annually; some source data has not been updated; or, the 2015 data is still up to date. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE This 2015 Florida Seaport System Plan was prepared in accordance with the statutory requirements of Section 311.14(1), Florida Statutes (F.S.). The development of this plan, along with other modal plans developed under the Freight, Logistics, and Passenger Operations (FLP) Office at the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), provides the Department with a cohesive planning process for all the modal offices.
