The City Council of Jacksonville approved an ordinance pertaining to City Council member salaries and postage expenses for the fiscal year 2025-2026. The decision involved appropriating $1,855,800 from a General Fund/GSD designated Contingency Account to fund City Council Member salaries, benefits, and postage expenses. The ordinance also approved 19 positions and waived conflicting provisions of Section 10.105 (Postage and communication expenses of council members), Chapter 10 (Organization of the Council), Ordinance Code, to allow for a postage allowance for Council Members. Each District Council Member will be allotted $1,000 for postage expenses, with the remaining $36,000 distributed at the discretion of the Council President.
