5. 8. <br />CC Regular Session <br />Meeting Date: <br />Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: <br />06/09/2026 <br />Title: <br />Adopt Resolution #26-124 Declaring Participation in State Performance Measurement Program. <br />Purpose/Background: <br />In 2010, the State legislature created the Council on Local Results and Innovation. In 2011, the Innovation <br />Council developed and released a standard of performance measurements for Cities and Counties; with the goal <br />of aiding residents, taxpayers, and state and local elected officials in determining the efficacy of Counties and <br />Cities in providing services, and measure residents' opinions of those services. <br />Cities that elect to participate in the standard measures program must officially adopt [by resolution] and <br />implement certain standard performance measures. Participating entities must report their results to the State <br />Auditor and make them available to all interested parties by publishing them on the Auditor's website [by July 1 <br />annually]. Lastly, results must be provided to local residents through publication, direct mailing, posting on a <br />website or through a public hearing - the City's annual Truth and Taxation Meeting [by December 31 annually] <br />Cities benefit from participating from the standard measures program by receiving a reimbursement from the <br />State in the amount of 14 cents per capita ($4,080 received in 2025 for 2024 participation). More importantly, <br />Cities benefit by developing an annual performance measurement baseline; which can be utilized by elected <br />officials and taxpayers to make educated decisions. Lastly, cities have the ability to view other organizations' <br />program results; which provides the City with comparable performance measurement data. <br />Funding Source: <br />This case is being handled as part of normal Staff duties. The State of Minnesota allocates funding to the City for <br />participating (about $4,000). <br />Recommendation: <br />Adopt Resolution #26-124 Declaring the City of Ramsey's Participation in the State Council on Local Results and <br />Innovation -- Performance Measurement Program. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #26-124 Declaring the City of Ramsey's Participation in the State Council on Local <br />Results and Innovation -- Performance Measurement Program. <br />Attachments <br />Reso #26-124 Performance Measurement Program <br />Ramsey Standard Measures 2025 <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 06/03/2026 12:21 PM <br />Form Started By: Diana Lund Started On: 05/15/2026 08:37 AM <br />
