Government Accountability, Transparency & Term Limits
Audit Verdict · Within Authority
Transparency, dashboards, meeting access, participatory budgeting, and civic-tech tools are executive choices; term limits and election-date changes need a charter referendum.
City can act directly, subject to budget, staffing, and execution quality.
The Promise
Stream meetings and comments, publish dashboards, adjust meeting times, expand participatory budgeting, launch a city app and AI assistant, strengthen ethics rules, and support term limits and election-date alignment.
Analysis
This is a largely deliverable governance plank. The few non-executive pieces are clearly identifiable and already routed through charter process.
Legislative Record
No separate municipal executive record exists yet; the question is whether the administration would actually resource and publish the promised accountability systems.
Implementation Barriers
A portion of the inventory depends on agencies where the mayor has limited board representation, informal influence, or no direct management authority.
- SunRail is owned and operated by FDOT; weekend service requires state funding
- LYNX is a regional board where the mayor holds one of five seats
- Orange County Public Schools and UCF are independent entities outside mayoral control
