Within Authority

Classification

Within Authority

The city can act directly, subject to budget, staffing, procurement, and execution quality.

§ 01The Promise

Launch a One Orlando Civic Corps, centralize volunteer coordination, create a volunteer portal, reduce participation barriers, and build a recurring citywide week of service.

§ 02Authority Scope

Operational - mayor's office staffing and budget

The practical limit is general-fund competition and managerial follow-through rather than state law or outside approvals.

§ 03Analysis

If the mayor wants this, the city can create it. The real question is whether the administration budgets for staffing, logistics, and sustained recruitment.

§ 04Recurring Barriers

Implementation barriers identified across the audit; tap to expand a definition.

Funding Gap Analysis

No identified revenue source matches the scale of the proposed program.

§ 06Legislative Record

Her background includes sustained volunteer and constituent-engagement work, but not yet a city-scale volunteer corps.

§ 07Within-Authority Path

Start with a measured pilot, publish participation and output data, and scale only if the city can staff it without starving existing neighborhood-service functions.
