5. 7. CC Regular Session Meeting Date: Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: 06/25/2024 Identify and implement operational efficiencies, cost savings and additional funding sources. Information Title Adopt Resolution #24-155 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 (about $4,000 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: This item was tabled at the June 11, 2024, City Council meeting to be brought forward to a future City Council Worksession. 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. 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 $4,000). Recommendation: Adopt Resolution 424-155 Declaring the City of Ramsey's Participation in the State Council on Local Results and Innovation -- Performance Measurement Program Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #24-155 Declaring the City of Ramsey's Participation in the State Council on Local Results and Innovation -- Performance Measurement Program Attachments
