Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 15, 2010 Page 13 In general, Councilmember Roe suggested that staff attempt to find more connec- tions establishing goals to benchmarks outlined in the Imagine Roseville 2025 document. Councilmember Johnson concurred with previous comments, noting that there was a correlation with the community's wellness and the number of emergency calls to a home, with some form of measurement tracked accordingly. City Manager Malinen expressed appreciation to the City Council for their pa- tience with this process, and for their comments tonight; and offered staff's intent to become more adept in measuring benchmarks accurately and consistently. Mr. Malinen noted that the attempt was for each department to initially focus on five (5) items that were easy to measure on a monthly basis, anticipating that some da- ta would be available for the City Council in January of 2011, with further efforts made to implement more performance measures thereafter, but not proceeding too quickly, but allowing it to become part of a regular routine across the board for all departments. Councilmember Roe noted that goals were already listed, and otherwise only re- quiring annually tracking; and suggested that determining where to go with and following up with those goals would also prove helpful. 11.
