Cityot Louisville COLORADO • SINCE 1878 CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA ITEM 11 SUBJECT: DATE: PROGRAM BUDGET OUTLINE AND COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF KEY INDICATORS FEBRUARY 9, 2016 PRESENTED BY: MALCOLM FLEMING, CITY MANAGER KEVIN WATSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR SUMMARY: In 2015 staff worked with Council to finalize the Programs, Goals and Sub - programs around which to organize the City's budget. Staff also developed proposed Key Indicators and Performance Measures to help determine how well the City is doing in achieving the adopted goals for each Program. Staff continues to develop and refine the Budget format and the Key Indicators and Performance Measures. Attachment 1 is a draft Table of Contents. Attachment 2 is a draft outline of the information that will be provided for each Program area in the Budget. Attachment 3 is the current list of Key Indicators for each Sub - Program. Staff wants Council to review this information closely to ensure it is clear and provides useful information for Council to make policy decisions —such as allocating the budget —as well as assist with program evaluations and operational management. Specifically, during this study session staff wants Council's comments and suggestions on: • Does the Table of Contents cover all issues of importance? • Does the outline of information for each Program cover Council's interests? • Are these the appropriate key indicators? • What indicators would Council add or delete? • What refinements would Council like to see? RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends discuss the attachments and provide comments that will help staff refine the elements of the Budget information so when staff presents the recommended budget it is organized and contains the information Council is interested in.
