North Lauderdale is located in Broward County, part of the South Florida metropolitan area. It is included in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood media market, which is the twelfth largest radio market and the seventeenth largest television market in the United States.
In July 2009, city employee Gary Frankel was censured by the North Lauderdale city commission for acting unethically by writing letters in support of a fired employee, who later sued the city claiming age discrimination. A month after receptionist Diane Schleich was fired in August 2005, Frankel wrote a letter for her saying, "I did not feel that ... women in their 50s should lose their positions." Schleich then sued the city in April 2007 for age discrimination. The city commission blamed Frankel’s letters for instigating the suit against the city. Frankel had failed to file the letters with the clerk's office, and did not tell the city manager that he was writing them.
