Major Youngblood, director of administrative services, demonstrated the town’s new strategic-plan dashboard and urged council and residents to use it to track projects and measures tied to council goals.
Youngblood said the dashboard displays project descriptions, locations, status, budgets and expenditures, and that users can drill into strategies, projects and associated performance measures. He described the tool as both a public-facing transparency resource and an internal management tool; departments update data internally and the public-facing view is published at least quarterly.
Councilors praised the dashboard as "really well done" and asked for a clearer label for survey response options (for example clarifying what the label “OK” means on resident surveys). Youngblood said staff will incorporate that feedback when preparing the next survey with a consultant.
Why it matters: the dashboard gives residents direct access to the town’s strategic-plan implementation and allows council and staff to show progress on capital projects and operating initiatives.
What’s next: staff will refine survey labels and continue department updates; councilors were encouraged to use dashboard materials in constituent communications.
