body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
On April 22, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners enacted Policy 45-01 creating the Hernando County Delegation on Government Efficiency (DOGE). Pursuant to that policy, members were selected by random drawing to ensure no bias of any kind could potentially be involved. The drawing took place, and the randomly selected names were presented to the Board for confirmation on May 27, 2025. Prior to that meeting, Jodi Van Slee declined the appointment thereby creating a vacancy. Volunteers were solicited via a news release and the County’s website with a deadline of June 13 to apply.
Six applications were submitted. The County Attorney’s Office conducted the lottery to fill the vacancy by pulling applicant names written on slips of paper out of a rotating drum. The randomly selected name is hereby presented for appointment.
