Overview

Mission

The volusia league of cities is organized specifically to educate and promote intergovernmental coordination and good municipal government throughout volusia county, Florida, and to engage in any lawful purposes not for pecuniary profit as provided by law.

What it reported doing in 2025

Ethics and sunshine law workshops - the volusia league of cities holds ethics and sunshine law workshops once a year to assure compliance with state law requiring local elected officials to take four hours of training on these topics annually. In addition, other educational workshops are held throughout the year on topics of interest to local government officials. On an annual basis, the volusia league of cities assists local elected officials at the Florida league of cities annual conference. At this conference, the volusia league partners with the tri-county and suncoast leagues to host a breakfast for elected and appointed officials during which updates on issues of concern to local governments are presented. Average number in attendance is 85.

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
