Strategic Plan Dashboard
WatchReliable and Sustainable Infrastructure

Implement public dashboard for tracking street conditions and planned improvements

Promised city dashboard is a key implementation proof point for residents.

Public-proof read

This objective is not done until the receipts are public.

ARP checks this promise against the City's own standard: owner, deadline, budget tie, measure values, update trail, and source records residents and neighbors can inspect.

Update trail

CompleteSource checkMay 2026

Council adopted the 2026-2030 Strategic Plan

The May 27, 2026 agenda packet placed adoption on the agenda; ARP is treating implementation records as the next accountability trail.

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

WatchSource checkSummer 2026

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

The plan says every year includes quarterly strategy and financial updates, annual reports on accomplishments, and annual department updates.

Quarterly financial updates should show funded versus unfunded objective work.
