# OrlandoFirst.City > Independent municipal feasibility audit of the Orlando mayoral race. Every published policy commitment is reviewed against Florida statute, city charter authority, governing structure, and budget capacity. Classifications read as administrative review, not campaign messaging. ## Core audit pages - [Front page](https://orlandofirst.city): Classification index, performance vs. governance framing, and inventory teaser. - [Policy inventory](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory): Every audited policy plank classified by authority, category, and barrier. - [Authority matrix](https://orlandofirst.city/matrix): Side-by-side: direct authority, council dependency, state preemption, external agency, funding, and year-one deliverability for every plank. - [Implementation barriers](https://orlandofirst.city/barriers): Six recurring conditions that block implementation: preemption, program overlap, jurisdictional limits, funding gap, legislative conversion risk, intergovernmental exposure. - [Fiscal impact](https://orlandofirst.city/fiscal-impact): Spending scenarios tested against Orlando general-fund capacity with order-of-magnitude estimates. - [Preemption tracker](https://orlandofirst.city/preemption-tracker): Florida statutes and bills that constrain local action, with an itemized within-authority path for each. - [Legislative repository](https://orlandofirst.city/legislative-repository): Source records, bills, statutes, and supporting documents referenced throughout the audit. ## Method - [Audit methodology](https://orlandofirst.city/methodology): The eight scoring categories and the rubric every plank is classified against. - [Evaluation standards](https://orlandofirst.city/evaluation-standards): Review questions applied uniformly to every classification. - [What the mayor can and cannot control](https://orlandofirst.city/mayor-authority): Direct control, shared control, and influence — bounded by city charter, county boards, and state preemption. - [Executive vs. policymaker](https://orlandofirst.city/executive-vs-policymaker): Why the audit asks for the executive mechanism behind every commitment, not just the headline. - [Executive readiness](https://orlandofirst.city/executive-readiness): How the audit evaluates demonstrated capacity to run city-scale operations. - [Operational playbook](https://orlandofirst.city/operational-playbook): Within-authority actions City Hall could execute directly. - [Glossary](https://orlandofirst.city/glossary): Plain-language definitions for 14 legal, budget, and governance terms. - [Corrections policy](https://orlandofirst.city/corrections): How OrlandoFirst.City handles candidate responses, source corrections, and audit revisions. ## Audited inventory — Anna Eskamani > April 2026 audit. Every published pledge tested against city authority, Tallahassee preemption, and recurring fiscal obligation — and traced to the source record that decides the outcome. - [Affordable Housing & Homelessness Solutions](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/housing-and-homelessness): Zoning, adaptive reuse, and city housing programs are executable, but rent stabilization, tenant mandates, and TOPA-style tools remain preempted or legally fragile. - [Economic Prosperity & Anti-Poverty Solutions](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/economic-prosperity): Financial empowerment, workforce partnerships, and voluntary certification are deliverable, but binding living-wage mandates on contractors are preempted once HB 433 takes effect. - [Public Transit Expansion, Walkability & Traffic Relief](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/transit-expansion): Dig-once street upgrades and a city-funded pass pilot are feasible, but systemwide transit expansion depends on FDOT, LYNX, Orange County, and Tallahassee. - [Small Business Support & Empowerment](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/small-business): Most operational support tools are within city control, but local wage or hiring mandates on contractors do not survive state preemption. - [Diversifying Orlando's Economy](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/innovation-economy): Partnership-building and zoning support for maker industries are feasible, but job-growth zones tied to local-hire mandates are preempted and overlap with existing regional entities. - [Reimagining & Revitalizing Downtown Orlando](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/downtown): CRA activation, housing incentives, and outreach are executable, but local-hire conditions and some homelessness-response tools are constrained by state law. - [Community Safety, Crime Prevention, & Gun Violence Prevention](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/public-safety): CVI, non-police crisis response, and gun-safety education are feasible, but firearm regulation and a pre-HB 601 civilian review model are not. - [Preventing Sexual Violence, Intimate Partner Abuse & Human Trafficking](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/gender-based-violence): City HR policies, training, awareness campaigns, and survivor-service partnerships are deliverable even though criminal enforcement remains largely outside city control. - [Strong Public Schools & Early Education](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/schools): Crossing guards, Safe Routes, and afterschool partnerships are workable, but school staffing and Pre-K delivery require OCPS and state action. - [Universal Childcare & Support for Families](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/childcare): Family resource hubs and navigation support are feasible, but city-run universal childcare is structurally outside municipal reach. - [Public Health & Disability Services](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/public-health): Mobile units, disability services, access audits, and crisis-response teams are feasible, but school nursing, coverage expansion, and harm-reduction policy run through other entities. - [Supporting Orlando's Seniors & Aging in Place with Dignity](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/seniors-and-aging-in-place): Most operational elements sit inside city budget and service authority; the main limits are state and federal funding streams for long-term care. - [Preventing Displacement & Gentrification](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/preventing-displacement-and-gentrification): City land, legal aid, dashboards, and incentive-based affordability are workable, but binding tenant, registry, and anti-speculation tools face statutory or preemption barriers. - [Protecting Orlando's Natural Beauty & Climate Future](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/natural-beauty): This is a framing plank rather than a standalone implementation program; the operative constraints appear in the clean-energy, resilience, and zero-waste sections that follow. - [Clean Energy & Electrification](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/clean-energy): Fleet electrification, city-facility efficiency, and EV infrastructure are feasible, but fuel bans and broader grid-decarbonization mandates remain outside city power. - [Climate Resilience, Smart Growth & Water Protection](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/climate-resilience): Stormwater infrastructure, resilient capital projects, septic-to-sewer work, and water-conservation incentives are core city functions even with some state growth-management constraints. - [Zero Waste, Circular Economy & Environmental Justice](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/zero-waste): Composting, city-event waste reduction, and circular-economy pilots are feasible, but broader plastic and food-container regulation is preempted. - [Recreation & Parks: Investing in Joy, Health & Community](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/parks-and-recreation): Parks, programming, amenities, and trail connections sit squarely inside city authority and are constrained mainly by capital and operating trade-offs. - [Hurricane Preparedness and Response](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/hurricane-preparedness): Emergency planning, communications, shelter coordination, debris response, and post-storm support are core mayoral functions. - [Trade, Travel, & Economic Development](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/trade-and-airport): Trade delegations and workforce partnerships are feasible, but airport expansion and route decisions require GOAA action. - [Equality, Inclusion & Protecting Civil Rights](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/equality-and-lgbtq): Language access, reentry support, accessibility, and city workforce policies are deliverable, but immigration non-cooperation and legally aggressive ordinance expansion face state challenge risk. - [Reimagining the Tourism Development Tax for Orlando's Future](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/tdt-reform): The mayor has no direct control over TDT allocation; reform depends on Tallahassee and Orange County. - [Arts & Athletics: Elevating Orlando's Cultural and Recreational Life](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/arts-and-athletics): Arts funding, recreation investment, youth sports, film-permitting, and public art sit inside city authority even though the biggest event-hosting ambitions need partners. - [Animal Welfare & Compassionate Communities](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/animal-welfare): Most animal-welfare tools sit inside ordinances, parks, and emergency planning, though shelter outcomes still depend on Orange County coordination. - [Government Accountability, Transparency & Term Limits](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/transparency-and-accountability): Transparency, dashboards, meeting access, participatory budgeting, and civic-tech tools are executive choices; term limits and election-date changes need a charter referendum. - [Volunteerism & City Engagement: Powering Change Through People](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/volunteerism): This is operationally straightforward and depends mainly on staffing and budget, not legal permission. - [Supporting Public Employees](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/public-employees): Pay, leave, training, and HR modernization are within city power subject to council budget approval and SB 256 labor constraints. - [Data-Driven Governance & Measuring Success](https://orlandofirst.city/inventory/anna-eskamani/data-governance): Performance goals, dashboards, open data, and results-based budgeting are administrative tools the mayor can implement directly. ## Public records - [Candidate registry](https://orlandofirst.city/candidates): Audited and reserved candidate slots; same rubric applied to every record. - [Civic Courage Forum](https://orlandofirst.city/civic-courage-forum): Submit and review evidence-backed civic claims tied to policy planks and authority limits. - [Privacy and analytics](https://orlandofirst.city/privacy): What the site measures, what it does not collect, and how civic submissions are handled. ## Florida preemption constraints Source statutes and bills that determine what the City of Orlando can directly regulate. 6 entries currently tracked. ## Optional - [Sitemap](https://orlandofirst.city/sitemap.xml): Machine-readable list of every published audit URL. - [Brand](https://orlandofirst.cityhttps://orlandofirst.city): Independent civic research project.
