This resolution signals Jacksonville City Council’s support for Governor DeSantis’s Executive Order Number 25-44 and formally requests the Florida Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to conduct a financial audit of the City of Jacksonville/Duval County’s budget and expenditures. It acknowledges the creation of state and agency DOGE Teams charged with identifying inefficiencies, maximizing productivity, eliminating waste, and reviewing federal grants for consistency with state policy. The resolution also directs consideration of leveraging modern technology to reduce duplication of services, cut overhead, and improve fiscal oversight. By voluntarily requesting the audit, the Council commits to transparency and alignment with statewide efforts to promote responsible spending of taxpayer dollars. The measure takes effect upon the Mayor’s signature or automatically if the Mayor does not sign within the prescribed period.
