The Government Efficiency Liaison Committee is being formed to interface directly with the Executive Office of the Governor Department of Government Efficiency (EOG DOGE) Team and County Administration to provide solutions to County Administration to achieve operational excellence and efficiency. This approach benefits the EOG DOGE effort by leveraging private-sector expertise while simultaneously providing a venue for the public to participate, be informed, and contribute to the betterment of our community.
Manatee County is seeking five (5) citizens of the county who have expertise in accounting, finance, information technology, economics, auditing, or human resources. They will form a brand-new committee that will meet monthly for one (1) year, unless the Board of County Commissioners chooses to extend this timeframe by a majority vote.“The Government Efficiency Liaison Committee is being created to help the County work with the State of Florida on its DOGE efforts,” said Manatee County District 4 Commissioner Mike Rahn. "This reflects Manatee County’s ongoing commitment to building the most efficient and effective government possible. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, and we know there’s always room to improve.”
Meetings will be held monthly on the Fourth Tuesday of each month. Room location will be announced closer to meeting date. For more information contact Stephanie Garrison at (941)748-4501, x5323, or email [email protected].
