Title:
Adopt Resolution #25-126 Declaring Participation in State Performance Measurement Program
Purpose/Background:
In 2010, the State legislature created the Council on Local Results and Innovation. In 2011, the Innovation Council developed and released a standard of performance measurements for Cities and Counties; with the goal of aiding residents, taxpayers, and state and local elected officials in determining the efficacy of Counties and Cities in providing services, and measure residents' opinions of those services.
Cities that elect to participate in the standard measures program must officially adopt [by resolution] and implement certain standard performance measures. Participating entities must report their results to the State Auditor and make them available to all interested parties by publishing them on the Auditor's website [by July 1 annually]. Lastly, results must be provided to local residents through publication, direct mailing, posting on a website or through a public hearing - the City's annual Truth and Taxation Meeting [by December 31 annually]
Cities benefit from participating from the standard measures program by receiving a reimbursement from the State in the amount of 14 cents per capita ($4,046 received in 2024 for 2023 participation). More importantly, Cities benefit by developing an annual performance measurement baseline; which can be utilized by elected officials and taxpayers to make educated decisions. Lastly, cities have the ability to view other organizations' program results; which provides the City with comparable performance measurement data.
