Biennial Budget & Program Areas

The City has a biennial budget process in which revenue and expenditures are organized into program and sub-program areas. The intent of this is to reduce staff time dedicated to the budget on an annual basis, to make it easier for the public to understand where the City invests their taxes and fees to provide services and for City Council to evaluate how efficiently and effectively the City uses those resources to achieve the objectives of each sub-program.

Key Performance Indicators

To measure the City's progress in achieving the goals and objectives of the programs and sub-programs, the City uses Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The KPIs reflect what is intended to be achieved through each program and sub-program area. They include workload measures that show the quantity or volume of products, services or efforts involved, as well as efficiency measures that demonstrate the resources used to accomplish an outcome, level of productivity or cost per unit. Lastly, the KPIs include effectiveness measures that indicate how well a program is accomplishing the goals and objectives of the program and sub-program. They often measure the results, accomplishments or quality of the products or services provided by the City. To view the latest KPIs, click here.
