'?.ity of River TO: FROM: MEMORANDUM **Item #3. Mayor & City Council Lori Johnson, Asst. City Administrator/ Finance Director DATE: SUBJECT: June 15, 1998 Certification of Local Performance Measures for Local Performance Aid Payable in 1999 Elk River is ehgible to receive approximately $16,275 of Local Performance Aid (LPA) in 1999. In order to qualify for LPA the city must affirm that (1.) the aid will result in a reduction in property taxes at least equal to the amount of the aid received and, (2.) the city will spend the aid on programs for which it has developed a system of performance measures and that these measures will allow for the measurement of continuous improvement and will be regularly compiled and presented to the City Council at least once per year. The city must also select the program which will be funded by LPA, and affirm that it is in the process of developing and implementing a system of performance measures for the program for which the aid is being sought. The aid may not be spent on the program until the performance measurement system has been instituted unless the aid is being used to establish the performance measurement system. The attached Certification identifies snow removal as the program to be funded. Phil Hals and I have discussed the performance measurement system which will be used, and, in fact, Phil included that information in his 1997 Street Department Annual Report. We will of course continue to refine the measurement system being used to gauge the improvements of this program. Action Requested The City Council is asked to approve the Certification of Local Performance Measures form as attached. Please note that both the Mayor and the Vice Mayor, or another member of the City Council, must sign the Certification form. 13065 Orono Parkway * P.O.
