Background and Analysis:
In 2015, Olympia Parks, Arts and Recreation began using 44 performance measures to determine and communicate levels of success in delivering services to the community. This data-based approach measures whether the Department is meeting expectations in many different areas; such as park acres, park condition, condition of City-owned art, recreation activities, and park asset management.
The 2016 report identifies progress while also highlighting significant accomplishments. The report also provides a total snapshot of expenses and revenues in both the operating and capital budgets.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
The need for a data-based performance report was identified in the 2016 Parks, Arts & Recreation Plan, which had significant community-wide public participation.
