Summary
Town staff outlined a redesigned performance management portal and announced a public launch of 16 dashboards, including redesigned Gilbert Police Department dashboards. Officials said some map-level data will be limited publicly to protect privacy and HIPAA-covered information.
Town staff on June 10 briefed the Gilbert Town Council on a redesigned performance management portal and said 16 new public dashboards will be published starting June 11.
Eugene Mejia, chief AI strategist and transformation officer in the town manager’s office, described the program as a tool “where we're continuously using data and analytics to set goals, measure progress, and make informed decisions.” Amy Ashworth, core performance manager, presented the new portal design, templates and onboarding process.
Ashworth said dashboards will be organized by department and include interactive filters and responsive design. “We've highlighted Gilbert branding to ensure that our dashboards have clear, concise titles for both the dashboard and the visualization,” she said. She told council staff had standardized templates that emphasize accessibility, visual clarity and consistent update practices.
The presentation said the Gilbert Police Department will relaunch three redesigned dashboards and publish one new public dashboard; the broader rollout aims for consistency with neighboring jurisdictions. Ashworth said some dashboards will include maps and 3-1-1 spatial information, but that sharing of map-level data will be balanced with privacy protections. “We still have to ensure that we're protecting the information of the residents of Gilbert,” she said, adding that some fire-related data is sensitive because of HIPAA and will not be published publicly at block level.
Councilmembers asked about regional benchmarking and additional map features. Ashworth said staff are building partnerships with nearby jurisdictions to enable benchmarking and that some dashboards will include maps where appropriate. Mayor Scott Anderson and Councilmember Yung Koprowski complimented the team for improving resident access to data and suggested sharing the program with state and regional groups.
No council action was required; staff said the public portal would be available without password restrictions the next day and provided an email for follow-up questions (coreperformance@gilbertaz.gov).
