CC Regular Session 5. 12. Meeting Date: 06/28/2022 By: Diana Lund,Finance Information Title Adopt Resolution#22-151 Declaring Participation in State Performance Measurement Program Purpose/Background: Purpose of Case: Adopt a resolution declaring the City's participation in the State Council on Local Results and Innovation Performance Measurement Program(often referenced as CPM- City Performance Measurement) NOTE: the City participated in this annual program in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017,2019, 2020 and 2021. 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 [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(about $3,870 Ramsey). 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. Observations/Alternatives: Attached to this case is the resolution required for adoption to participate in the Council on Local Results and Innovation Performance Measurement Program along with previous results. This program works in parallel with the City's initiative to conduct a biannual resident survey. Both the performance measurement program and the biannual resident survey are utilized during the City's budgeting and strategic planning processes. Funding Source: This case is being handled as part of normal Staff duties. The State of Minnesota allocates funding to the City for participating(about$3,870). Recommendation: Motion to adopt Resolution#22-151 Declaring the City of Ramsey's Participation in the State Council on Local Results and Innovation-- Performance Measurement Program
