Proposed Core Indicators

The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Center for Governmental Studies and the UW-Extension Local Government Center are collaborating to produce both detail performance measurement and performance/outcome based budgeting educational materials and training as well as establishing a clearinghouse of performance measurement data for Wisconsin local government. The clearinghouse will provide performance data collected from Wisconsin municipalities and counties to enable local governments to track their data over time and compare their performance with similar communities.

For the clearinghouse portion of the project to be successful, we need data and input from stakeholders – specifically local administrators.  We shared our proposed performance indicators to WCMA conference attendees on February 26, 2009.  A core component of that presentation was a list of proposed core indicators.

We are requesting input from local government as to the appropriateness of these indicators and suggestions for alternative or additional indicators that will best serve local government’s needs. Please review the list by cliking here and provide feedback and input to:
