“To make the
City of Lauderhill a secure, clean, and
desirable place to live, work and visit by providing for a
continually improving wide range of city services; to
encourage a community that retains and promotes
employment opportunities, economic growth and improved
quality of life, where people of diverse cultural
backgrounds and incomes peacefully interrelate.”
The elements in
the mission statement can be organized into domains, areas of
interest that will be used in this report to categorize the
performance measures. Relevant domains that reflect concerns of
the mission statement include Security, Community, Economy,
Environment, and Equity and Efficiency.
The definitions
of the domains are rather fluid as this is the first year the
City has used them in the annual Performance Report. The purpose
is to attempt to categorize measures into meaningful subgroups
that may help the user to understand the City’s progress towards
certain objectives.
In its ongoing
efforts to become more open and accountable and to strive to
deliver services that are cost-effective and efficient, the City
is using innovative tools to measure results, including business
plans and benchmarking practices. The end result is to enhance
the delivery of services to citizens, ensuring that they receive
the best value of their tax-dollars. |
