'Performance Management' Program Will Unite Roseville's Long-Term Initiatives

Updated: The Roseville City Council adopted a performance management program at its Monday meeting that will unite the city's 20-year visioning process, strategic planning and goal-setting initiatives, citizen surveys, performance measurement techniques, and a number of long-term financial and non-financial planning exercises. 

The council voted unanimously in favor of adoption.

At its March 12 meeting, the Roseville City Council took its first look at a new plan to establish a “performance management program” that would combine multiple city initiatives—including Imagine Roseville 2025, other strategic planning efforts and citizen surveys—under an umbrella program.

City Finance Director Chris Miller said the new program would help coordinate multiple long-range initiatives into a “sequential order” that will help create a coherent vision for the future of Roseville.

“The council in the last several years has undergone a number of new initiatives designed to improve our overall effectiveness or assure our long-term goals are being met,” Miller said. “What we’re asking the council to consider now is to formally establish a performance management program.”

Council member Tammy McGehee said she thinks the program as a whole is a good idea, though she would like to see some tweaks.

“We have to have a front end part where we’re receiving into the circle information from our constituents as to what exactly they want,” she said.
