Finance Department (Includes Drivers Ed) - 30 Minutes

Finance Committee - Budget Hearings · 2026-08-14 · agenda_item

This item concerns the City of Jacksonville's Finance Department budget, specifically adjustments to revenue and spending. The Finance Department is proposing to increase Miscellaneous Sales and Charges by $37,448, bringing the total to $125,000. Additionally, funding for lobbyists and consultants is recommended to be reduced by $30,000, with $120,000 of that amount to be moved to the Finance Office of Director for centralized budgeting. These changes are projected to have a combined positive impact of $67,448 on the Special Council Contingency fund. The Driver Safety Trust Fund also has a recommendation to increase the budgeted amount for a $5 fee by $157,835, from $262,165 to $420,000, to reflect an increase in the fee. This budget review and adjustment process is currently under review. The work involved would include financial analysis, budget management, and potentially administrative support for the Finance Office. Local businesses in accounting, financial consulting, and administrative services may find opportunities as these budget adjustments are finalized and implemented.
