Home My WebLink About17 - Third Quarterly Report on Performance MeasuresCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Agenda Item No. 17 May 11, 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: Third 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 third quarter of 2009 -10. Once again, it includes all of the performance measures approved by the Council in Third Quarterly Report on Performance Measures May 11, 2010 Page 2 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. Since we still have less than a full year of data, it's still difficult to identify trends in performance, but some increases or decreases in performance are explained in comments. In addition, corrections to performance measure reporting are noted for Development Review and the Police Department. 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. • The percent of times that routine IT requests were addressed within 8 hours has increased in each quarter of reporting, and is now at 95 %. • The first non - inspection response to code and water quality complaints remained under 24 hours — and significantly so, with staffs extra efforts to improve service and an improved reporting method. • Development plans continue to be approved over the counter at a rate of at least 55 %. • All development services departments met the first plan review goal of 30 days at least 95% of the time. • 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. • 85% of fire hazard complaints were resolved within 10 business days. • 100% of streets were swept on schedule, as in the first two quarters. • The percent of employees passing probation increased again, from 83% to 93 %. • No employee grievances were filed in the third quarter. • The citywide employee vacancy rate more than doubled from the first half of the fiscal year, to 12.5 %, due to the Early Retirement Incentive Program. • Average Library Secret Shopper ratings were 92% out of a possible 100 %. • 100% of Facilities and Streets and Drainage 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 %) • Nearly 100% 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 again, from 98% to 100 %. Third Quarterly Report on Performance Measures May 11, 2010 Page 3 As in the last quarter, 100% of electrical service requests were responded to within 24 hours.
