Description:

This measure calculates the actual donations that are received in the Quality of Life areas/departments.

 
Analysis:

In Q3-FY25, the "Percentage of Donations to Total Quality of Life Programs and Services Expenses" was 1%, below the target of 2%. This marks a decline from Q2-FY25's 3.6%. The drop might is attributed to lower number of grants received  to date (3). Individual donations remained steady.

Impact:
Any donations collected offset the cost of equipment and/or services provided. This allows the City to allocate funds to other high priority arreas.

Description:

The City utilizes volunteers for its 26 Commissions and Boards where our City staff implements the application process and the BMA selects and approves the members.  We also utilize Volunteer Odyssey to recruit and place volunteers for all city events that require the use of volunteers. Police and Fire have volunteer reserves that serve in those events as well.

 
Analysis:

In Q1-FY25, new employees in Recreation and Animal Shelter were added which resulted in lower numbers. In Q3-FY25, the actual percentage of volunteer hours was 82%, exceeding the target of 60%. This marks an improvement from Q2-FY25's 78%, indicating that staff is actively engaging with Volunteer Odyssey to secure volunteers.

 
Impact:
The impact is high due to the number of volunteers used on commissions and boards. These contributions from city residents assist the City in creating and monitoring policies, financial considerations, Quality of life amenities and public safety
