CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 10
March 9. 2010
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: City Manager's Office
Sharon Wood, Assistant City Manager
949 - 644 -3222, swood @newportbeachca.gov
SUBJECT: Second Quarterly Report on Performance Measures
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The City Council approved the final report from ICMA on performance measures and
benchmarks on September 8, 2009. Staff began collecting data for the majority of the
measures (except those requiring internal or external survey data) at the start of Fiscal
Year 2009 -10, and the City Manager and I provided a status report to the City Council
on November 24, 2009. Staff provided the first quarterly report on performance
measures at the City Council priority setting session on January 9, 2009. Council
members made some comments on performance, but did not direct staff to make any
changes in performance measures or the reporting format.
As a reminder, we differentiate performance measures from benchmarks this way:
• A performance measurement is a way to measure ourselves internally, including
by comparing our actions against the same action over consecutive quarters or
years, or our costs to provide a service against our cost in a previous period.
• Benchmarks are ways to measure ourselves externally against other jurisdictions
that provide similar services.
How Are We Doing?
Attached is the performance measurement report for the second quarter of 2009 -10.
Once again, it includes all of the performance measures approved by the Council in

September, whether or not data is available yet. As we noted in November, data is
available for the majority of measures, with the exception of measures requiring a
survey. For measures that are reported annually rather than quarterly, comments are
made to indicate whether data was reported in the first quarter or will be reported later
in the year.
Two quarters of data are not sufficient to see trends in performance, but some
increases or decreases in performance are explained in comments. The following
positive performance highlights are shown in the report:
• All reserve balances continued to meet or exceed Council policy.
• The City's IT network and major subsystems continued to be available for use
99.9% of the time.
• 100% of litigation matters continued to be resolved in favor of the City or within
Council approved settlement range.
• The percent of times that routine IT requests were addressed within 8 hours
increased from 89% to 93 %.
• The first non - inspection response to code and water quality complaints remained
under 24 hours.
• 55% of development plans were approved over the counter. (The 1st Quarter
report of 32% was in error, and should have been 56 %.)
• Staff error was noted as the reason for a plan correction being required. We
aren't proud of staff errors, but it is noteworthy that staff took responsibility for the
error and helped make this a meaningful measure.
• All development services departments met the first plan review goal of 30 days at
least 90% of the time.
• City custody of tenant improvement plans decreased from 50 days to 36 days.
• 94% of building inspections were provided on the day requested.
• 100% of non life safety fire hazard complaints were responded to within 2
business days.
• The percent of fire hazard complaints resolved within 10 business days
increased from 53% to 82 %, and the percent resolved within 20 days increased
from 60% to 100 %.
• 100% of streets were swept on schedule, as in the 1st Quarter.
• The percent of employees passing probation increased from 76% to 83 %.
• FBI UCR Part I crime rates decreased from 318.44 to 224.15.
• 100% of CIP projects were completed within the original construction contract
cost plus 10 %. (Target: 95 %)
• 100% of all CIP projects were completed within two months of the approved
baseline completion date. (Target: 85 %)
• 100% of non - emergency signal maintenance requests were responded to within
5 days (Target: 90 %)

• 99% of senior transportation clients continued to be taken to their destinations
within 5 minutes of scheduled time.
• The percent of streetlights repaired within 7 days'of notice increased from 85% to
98 %.
• 100% of electrical service requests were responded to within 24 hours.
In addition, the report shows some areas in which staff is working to improve our
performance.
• The percent of development plans approved after first review increased from 6%
- 39% to 9% - 45 %, depending on department. Although improved from the 15t
Quarter, staff is working on ways to further improve performance in this area.
• The average number of review cycles for development plans continued to be in
the range of 2 to 4, depending on type of project. Staff continues to work on this
performance measure, in conjunction with the previous measure.
• 73% of Employee Performance Evaluations were completed on time, a slight
decrease from the 16t Quarter. A staff task force is close to finishing revisions to
the form and online procedures to make it easier to complete evaluations.
