This approach features a foundation of <br />council goals that are activated by concrete community-informed outcomes, strengthened by rigorous <br />and transparent monitoring of progress toward achieving those results, and kept relevant by an ongoing <br />commitment to listen broadly to the community. <br /> <br />Using information from the Eugene Counts public engagement effort as well as varied sources such as <br />the community survey, neighborhood survey, and downtown safety and development discussions, the <br />council developed a set of concrete outcomes reflecting current community priorities for each of the five <br />council goals. The council approved those outcomes at the April 26, 2010, work session, which set in <br />motion the next phase of work on Eugene Counts, including the development of strategies to achieve the <br />outcomes, measures to track progress, and a dashboard to engage the community in ongoing dialogue <br />about the City’s performance. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />This work session is informational, presenting to council some of the strategies that support achievement <br />of the Eugene Counts outcomes and the inaugural set of measures, as well as a preview of some features <br />that will be incorporated into the online dashboard. No action is needed at this time. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />No recommendation at this time. <br /> <br /> <br />Z:\CMO\2010 Council Agendas\M100721\S100721B.doc <br /> <br />
