Strategic Plan Watch

Independent public-proof dashboard

Proof-first tracking for Albany's 2026-2030 plan.

Start with what is missing, then drill into the promises. The dashboard ranks pressure points, exposes budget opacity, and follows the records ARP expects from quarterly strategy, finance, department, annual, and survey updates.

Street conditionsPriority pulse

ARP public-proof score

Needs proof

016/100100

This score is not a celebration meter. It asks whether the public can verify the plan with budgets, baseline measures, status evidence, source links, and promised update streams.

What the City still needs to show

Objectives without budget proof

117/117

Every objective should show funded, unfunded, partially funded, or not applicable with a source.

Measures without baseline/current/target

61/61

Measures are not accountability until the public can see a baseline, current value, target, and date.

Objectives with no progress evidence

113/117

A status label should be backed by work-plan evidence, minutes, invoices, reports, or datasets.

Promised update streams missing

4/6

The platform should show quarterly strategy, financial, annual, department, survey, and source-check updates.

Council adopted the 2026-2030 Strategic Plan

The strategic plan was officially adopted by the City Council following presentations by Deputy City Manager Kayla Barber and Ashley Sonoff (Strategy Associate with SSW Consulting). ARP is treating implementation records as the next accountability trail.

Budget alignment begins with the 2027-2029 biennial budget cycle.

City strategic plan website and dashboard promised for summer 2026

The implementation section says the Strategic Plan website and dashboard go live in summer 2026. ARP will track whether it publishes source data, owners, deadlines, budget ties, and update history.

No public budget crosswalk has been produced yet.

WatchQuarterly strategyFY 2026-2027

Quarterly strategy and financial updates are now a standing watch item
