Duval DOGE Special Committee reviews telehealth, City health-benefits for external entities, and Oversight Committee draft

At the April 21, 2026 meeting the committee heard a telehealth update (legal drafts pending review), received a Council Auditor briefing on the 2% lapse (no departmental restoration requests received), and received a Bailey Group presentation on the City covering health benefits for three external entities (First Coast Workforce Development Consortium, Northeast Florida Regional Council, Jacksonville Housing Authority) including ERISA/compliance implications. OGC and auditors were asked to research contracts, ERISA status, and historical funding; the committee will meet in May and twice in June and plans to conclude by the end of June.
