Six-month performance report: finance, public works and police largely meeting targets
Summary
Staff presented six-month metrics showing 100% compliance on key finance tasks, strong fleet availability and garbage-route completion, a recycling diversion average of about 18.78%, and improved police case-processing timelines with continued staffing concerns.
Town staff summarized six-month performance measures across departments and highlighted areas meeting or exceeding targets.
"We hit a 100% on that," Staff member said of bank reconciliations and trial balances in finance, stressing timely reporting helps monitor revenues and expenses. The report showed the town met its target for timely agenda packet distribution and minute posting, and that permits averaged one day processing against a 3-day goal.
Public works metrics included fleet availability above 99% and 100% completion of scheduled garbage routes. Staff reported municipal recycling diversion averaged 18.78% with about 75% resident participation and suggested future goals could target 20% recycling diversion. Police metrics showed 92% compliance with the district attorney's 14-day felony packet target and about 62% within a staff 10-day goal; staff noted some recent staffing losses that affected directed patrol numbers.
Council members asked about making some targets (for example, repair turnaround days) more attainable if parts delays cause occasional slippage. Staff said they would monitor and adjust metrics if needed. The session covered parks appearance scoring and permitting averages; staff commended departments for adherence to standards during the reporting period.
