EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The intent of this report is twofold. First, it is intended to give an update on the implementation of the Performance Measurement Program and describe how this fits into the Business Planning Process. Second, it provides a sample of the 2006 divisional metrics and results with associated commentary. To date, fourteen divisions have successfully implemented the Performance Measurement Program or roughly 360/0 of all divisions. Three divisions are in the process of implementing the program and another four will be implementing it in the latter half of 2007. By the end of 2007 roughly 590/0 of all divisions will have formally implemented the program. In addition to the divisional level program, performance metrics will also playa part in the new Business Planning Process. Department staff will use strategic directions set by Council and the community to guide them in the development of their departmental business plans which will roll up to form the basis of the City of Kitchener Corporate Strategic Plan. Within the business plans staff will articulate initiatives they plan to undertake in the future to achieve the strategic directions. The business plan document will also include budget requirements and selected high level performance metrics. As part of this process, an annual Business Plan Update will be presented to Council in February or March of each year, highlighting the status of initiatives and performance metrics for the previous year. The metrics in this report will be a combination of: · citizen driven metrics which are being created by the Compass Kitchener Committee to directly measure the Plan for a Healthy Kitchener 2006 Performance Measurement Report 1 · high level departmental metrics which measure achievement of their department business plans · Municipal Performance Measurement Program (MPMP) metrics which measure front line service delivery efficiency and effectiveness and are dictated by the Province of Ontario The intent is to have a comprehensive annual report card to measure the progress and outcomes of our new City of Kitchener Corporate Strategic Plan. As directed by the recommendations in the Plan for Healthy Kitchener a term-by-term report will also be completed at the end of the term of Council to summarize the accomplishments during the four year term in relation to the original goals and commitments of Council. BACKGROUND: In 2004 a project was begun to implement a Performance Measurement Program across the corporation on a division by division basis. A framework was put in place whereby each division would work with the Performance Measurement Lead to establish their goal statement, desired results, metrics to measure the outcome of the desired results, and targets for those metrics. REPORT: Performance Measurement Program Update To date, fourteen divisions / sections have successfully implemented the Performance Measurement Program or roughly 360/0 of all divisions. This means that each division have defined their overall goal statement in terms of what service they provide, who their customers are and why they provide the service. In addition, they have articulated several desired results or outcomes which they wish to achieve and one or more metrics to measure each result. Finally, division staff has set targets against which they can measure their performance. This framework will allow staff to use the results as a decision-making tool to ensure that they are providing efficient and effective services. Typically metrics and results at this level are only of interest to the divisional staff. The fourteen divisions who have completed this process are: · Human Resources · Turf Maintenance · Waterloo Region Small Business Centre · Arenas · Information Technology · Facilities Management · Volunteer Resources and Community Engagement · Building Permits · Aquatics · By-Law · Print Shop · Sign Shop · Fleet · Parking 2006 Performance Measurement Report 2 The following three divisions / sections are in the process of implementing the performance measurement program: · Purchasing · Fire - communications · Community Centres The following four divisions / sections will implement the program in the second half of 2007: · Corporate Communications and Marketing · Economic Development · Fire - Mechanical · Legal Linkage Between Performance Measurement and the Corporate Strategic Plan In 2006 a cross-functional team was created to develop a cohesive, co-ordinated, comprehensive four-year planning process/cycle incorporating the current community strategic plan (A Plan for Healthy Kitchener), Council's Shared Agenda, the existing Corporate Plan and the People Plan which is in development. The goal is to have one planning document, called the City of Kitchener Corporate Strategic Plan, which has input from the public, Council and the Corporation. City staff will use strategic directions set by Council and the community to guide the development of departmental business plans which will roll up to form the basis of the City of Kitchener Corporate Strategic Plan. Within the business plans staff will articulate initiatives to be undertaken to achieve the strategic directions. The business plan document will also include budget requirements and selected high-level performance metrics. These business planning documents will form the summary level documents in the annual budgeting process. As part of this process an annual Business Plan Update will be presented to Council in February or March of each year, highlighting the status of initiatives and performance metrics for the previous year. The metrics in this report will be a combination of: · citizen driven metrics which are being created by the Compass Kitchener Committee to directly measure the Plan for a Healthy Kitchener · high level departmental metrics which measure achievement of their department business plans · Municipal Performance Measurement Program (MPMP) metrics which measure front line service delivery efficiency and effectiveness and are dictated by the Province of Ontario The intent is to have a comprehensive annual report card to measure the progress and outcomes of our new City of Kitchener Corporate Strategic Plan. As directed by the recommendations in the Plan for Healthy Kitchener a term-by-term report will also be completed at the end of the term of Council to summarize the accomplishments during the four year term in relation to the original goals and commitments of Council. The first annual Business Plan Update will be created and presented in 2008, based on 2007 results. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 3 2006 Performance Measurement Results In the interim, it is worthwhile to review the 2006 divisional metrics to gain an understanding of the types of data that divisions are tracking and using in their business management processes. As mentioned, fourteen divisions have currently implemented the performance measurement framework; however, only seven divisions had results to report for 2006. The remainder of this report highlights a few metrics for each of the seven divisions with associated commentary. A full listing of their metrics and results can be found in Appendix A. In addition, the metrics required by the Province under the Municipal Performance Measurement Program (MPMP) are included in Appendix B. External Services There were four divisions which provide front line services to the community that reported results for 2006. These include Turf Maintenance, The Waterloo Region Small Business Centre, Arenas, and Volunteer Resources and Community Engagement. 1. Turf Maintenance The goal of the Turf Maintenance division is "to maintain City property for the benefit of citizens, visitors, and other agencies in order to provide safe and appealing green spaces that will help make citizens proud to live here and attract visitors." Two of the main visible outcomes of the work this division does are the length of the grass and the amount of weeds that are present. Desired Result: Meet maximum height standards. Grass heights are measured prior to each cut and compared against standards for maximum grass height. For 2006 these standards were as follows: Asset Type Maximum Height Standard (cm) Downtown turf and parkettes, City Hall, 10 cm primary parks Neighbourhood and district parks, schools, 1 0 - 25 cm City facilities Boulevards and road allowances, cul-de-sacs, 15 - 30 cm crosswalks and walkways, pumping stations, City owned lots Hydro One rights-of-way 20 - 30 cm 2006 Performance Measurement Report 4 o,,{ ft' h' ht t d d 00 Ime elg s an ar s were me : Total or May06 Jun06 JulO6 Aug06 Sep06 Oct06 average Target 460/0 460/0 810/0 530/0 720/0 750/0 620/0 510/0 0/0 of Time Height Standards Met ... 1 00.00/0 J:'" C)Q) 80.00/0 "Qi E J: tn 60.00/0 Q)"'C E Ca 40.00/0 "- "'C ... c: 20.00/0 ..... m o ... ~ tn 0.00/0 0 May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Month Due to the warm spring season in 2006, the peak growing season arrived earlier than usual. Due to this weather, staff had a difficult time in meeting the standards at the beginning of the season. As the temperature started to rise the growing conditions started to slow down and the standards were easily met for the remainder of the 2006 turf season. During the month of August temperatures were below normal and growing conditions increased, therefore making it more difficult to meet the standards. On average, the height standards were met 620/0 of the time, which is better than the target of 510/0. Note that the targets were developed based on 2004 actual results. Desired Result: Provide attractive / quality green space. Regarding the amount of weeds present, there are two metrics used to describe this element: percentage of time the weed index is high and the percentage of total complaints that are related to weeds. The weed content of a property is rated prior to each cut. It is rated "HIGH" if greater than 250/0 of the property is covered in weeds. This is a very subjective measurement. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 5 Total or Metric May06 Jun06 Jul06 Aug06 Sep06 Oct06 average 0/0 of time weed index is high 800/0 750/0 730/0 740/0 630/0 620/0 710/0 Weed Index >< 100.00/0 CI.)

When conditions are prime for grass growth, weeds are less visible (weed index is lower) and during the dry season weeds continue to grow, while grass becomes dormant (weed index is higher). This index is based on the individual staff interpretations of a weed, and so may not always lead to precise conclusions. Occasionally long grass can be confused with weeds, as displayed in the May results. Complaints related to weeds were scattered due to the inconsistent weather in 2006. The high number of complaints related to weeds in July and August were related to a drier period when grass becomes dormant and weeds are more visible. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 6 2. Waterloo Reaion Small Business Centre (WRSBCl The goal of the WRSBC is "to encourage and contribute to the enterprising spirit and economic development of our community". One focus area for the WRSBC is to be accountable and fiscally responsible in reducing the 2004 deficit. Desired Result: Reduce / eliminate the deficit on schedule by 2006. The WRSBC is a jointly funded operation utilizing staff from Cities of Kitchener, Cambridge and Waterloo. Core funding is provided by the Cities of Kitchener, Cambridge and Waterloo, the Region of Waterloo and the Province of Ontario. Private sector sponsorships also contribute to the Centre. In 2004, the WRSBC was running a deficit of $110,815. In order to maintain funding from the various levels of government the Centre needed to demonstrate it was a fiscally viable entity, and a goal was set to eliminate the deficit by end 2006. One metric tracked to measure the success in this endeavour was the accumulated deficit. Surplus or (Deficit) ..-. +-' "0 'I: CI.) ~ J... o UJ ~ C. ~ UJ * $20,000 $- $(20,000) $(40,000) $(60,000) $(80,000) $(100,000) $(120,000) Year The deficit was eliminated at the end of 2006 as planned through financial accountability and fiscal responsibility which will continue to ensure a deficit position does not re-occur. In 2007 a Business Liaison Officer was hired for outreach and sponsorship development activities which will help drive revenues and avoid another deficit position in the future. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 7 A core direction for the WRSBC is to continue to provide valuable services and programs to the small business sector. Desired Result: Assist existing business and support their continuance. One metric to measure this desired result is the number of consultations with existing business owners per month. An increase in this number will indicate more staff time and resources being dedicated to this activity. Consultations with Existing Business Owners 130 125 en c o ~ 120 ~ en c 8 115 '0 :tt 110 105 2005 2006 Year Overall, the number of consultations with existing business owners has increased from 2005 to 2006, a result of the implementation of the first official Marketing Plan (2005/2006) for the WRSBC. This plan was developed to focus on a proactive strategy whereby potential and current clients were pursued rather than reactively waiting for the entrepreneur to consider the WRSBC. The marketing strategy includes services, programming, successes and increased image through a professional marketing campaign that includes new branding materials and advertising opportunities. In an effort to increase use of the Centres, a major focus area is to effectively market and communicate the services and programs of the WRSBC. Desired Result: Increase web site traffic. It was recognized that an increasing percentage of people use the internet to collect information including information about small business creation and operation. Therefore, the WRSBC website becomes a key tool to marketing the services and programs available at the Centres. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 8 # of website hits: Year Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dee Total 2004 556 643 528 535 589 681 790 836 5158 2005 962 643 823 2262 1516 1391 0 0 0 1786 1653 1401 12437 2006 1755 2073 2073 2407 2412 2275 2667 2029 2232 2319 3885 2557 28684 Website Hits 35000 ~ 30000 .s:: 25000 S 20000 'en .c 15000 Q) 3: ..... 10000 0 =1:1:: 5000 0 2004 2005 2006 Year Overall, the website traffic has increased dramatically in 2006 compared to 2005 and 2004. This is due to the re-branding and marketing efforts of the WRSBC which ensures promotion of the website on all Centre materials as well as a new domain name. 3. Arenas (excludino the Auditorium) The goal of the Arenas division is "to provide quality recreation facilities and affordable sport opportunities in order to enhance programming provided by the community and to contribute to a healthier community". There were 5 arenas and 8 ice pads located within the City of Kitchener at the beginning of 2006. This translates to 2.3 arenas per 100,000 population and 3.7 ice pads per 100,000 population. At the beginning of the 2006/2007 ice season, however, Queensmount Arena was made dormant resulting in a shift in programming that includes the use of Sportsworld arena with its two ice pads. Since Sportsworld is not a municipally owned facility, the arenas and ice pads per 100,000 population at the end of the year calculate out to be 1.9 and 3.3 respectively. Desired Result: Facilities are used to full capacity. One way to measure this is to track the utilization rate of facilities (total hours used divided by the total hours available for use). This has been further segregated into prime time and non- prime time to give staff a better understanding of when the facilities are being used. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 9 2006 Utilization of Arenas 1 000/0 (1) E 800/0 '; (1) oC-C 600/0 m (1) = UJ m ::] 400/0 > m ..... 200/0 0 ~ 0 00/0 2006 Target = 40% Prime lime Utilization . Non-Prime Time Utilization Winter Summer Season Winter Season: January to March and September to December Summer Season: April to August *Note: The summer utilization rates represent a total for all community arenas except for Don McLaren which was closed for the summer. Summer utilization is less than the 400/0 target. This is due to a number of factors. First, the calculation is based on the potential number of hours available not staffed hours. Second, the summer season includes from April 1 st to August 31 st, , however, the transition weeks between ice sports and floor sports provides a few weeks in both April and August that would reflect low utilization. Peak summer utilization occurs in May through June due to the Ball Hockey and other minor sports seasons. For example, during the months of May and June Grand River Arena had a prime time utilization of 780/0 and non-prime time utilization at 350/0. I Desired Result: Facilities are safe. One way to measure this is to track the number of Health and Safety infractions reported at each location. Ideally the number should be zero, indicating that each facility is proactive in maintaining a safe facility. However, based on past history a target of 2 minor infractions per season has been set, which encourages reporting, tracking and addressing issues. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 10 Health & Safety Infractions 2006 en s:::: .9 t) m J.. ..... s:::: CJ) ~ ::I: 5 4 3 2 1 o ..... o =1:1:: ~ 0<::- OV ~ F:J~ _ ~(Y 0~ ~. ~0 a ~C;) 0' ~o <it ~o eJ-flf ~ ~ ~0 ~ ~<:$ <:)0 ." Arena All arenas, with the exception of Don McLaren, had minimal health and safety infractions, coming in at or below the target of two minor infractions per season. Don McLaren Arena, however, had four infractions in the summer season which were rectified immediately. By monitoring this type of metric on a regular basis, issues such as this can be identified and dealt with quickly. Desired Result: Contribute to increasing healthy lifestyles in the community. One way to measure this is to track the total number of participant hours per capita. Participant hours are defined as the total number of participants taking part in registered, permitted or drop- in programs at the arenas multiplied by the number of hours the program ran. For example, if a program had 20 participants and ran for 2 hours, the total participant hours equals 40 (20 X 2). This total is then divided by the City's population to get an average amount of time that each resident is participating in arena programs. This metric is required to be reported to the Province as part of the Municipal Performance Measurement program. Hours per capita Permitted Drop-in Total 2004 2.9 0.2 3.1 2005 2.6 0.1 2.8 2006 2.6 0.1 2.7 2006 Performance Measurement Report 11 Participant Hours 3.5 J... c: ~.2 3.0 .... ~ ~ 2.5 J: ~ .... g. 2.0 c: c.

As Sportsworld is not a City of Kitchener facility, this programming was not accounted for in the 2006 metrics. 4. Volunteer Resources and Community Enaaaement The goal of the Volunteer Resources and Community Engagement section is to "to proudly provide valued services and build community capacity by inspiring volunteers, staff, elected officials and all community members to be active contributors to Kitchener's Community Vision". There are three areas of importance for this division: timely service for filling volunteer positions, appropriate recognition of volunteers and having properly equipped volunteers. Please note that this section only starting tracking results in the 3rd quarter of 2006 and therefore only have partial results for the year. I Desired Result: Timely service One way to measure this is the turnaround time for filling volunteer positions. The goal is to fill 800/0 of the vacant positions within 40 days. In the 3rd quarter of 2006 800/0 were filled within 40 days and in the 4th quarter, 870/0. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 12 0/0 of Volunteer Positions Filled Within 40 Days 2006 880/0 860/0 840/0 820/0 800/0 780/0 760/0 30 40 Target Quarter For both quarters during which performance was measured, the target for turnaround time for filling direct volunteer positions was attained or exceeded. This result indicates that the recruitment, screening and referral process is working well and that the communication system between the Coordinator of Volunteers and staff who need volunteer positions filled is well developed. This is important because communication is a pivotal piece in the ability to fill volunteer positions quickly. In order to recruit effectively, staff need to communicate to the Coordinator what their needs are in regards to volunteer position vacancies, the skill set and time commitment required. In a broader sense, this result suggests that the City of Kitchener has a "volunteer-friendly" organizational culture so that it is attractive for people who are looking for a volunteer role. All staff and other volunteers have had and will continue to have a role to play in creating this positive environment. Desired Result: Properly equipped volunteers One way to measure this is to survey volunteers once they have completed a training program to see if the material was relevant to their work. The goal is to have 700/0 of the respondents indicate that the training material was relevant to the work they were doing. In both the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2006 730/0 felt the training was relevant. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 13 0/0 of volunteers who found workshops to be relevant 740/0 730/0 720/0 71 0/0 700/0 690/0 680/0 30 40 Target Quarter Training is an important way to build the capacity or skills of individual volunteers and community groups which helps to maintain and enhance overall community capacity, vibrancy and resiliency. By offering training in consultation with and in partnership with other City of Kitchener staff, community organizations, and volunteers, relevant training workshop topics can continue to be offered. Internal Services There were three divisions which provide support to front line services that reported results for 2006: Human Resources, Facilities Management, and Information Technology. 5. Human Resources The goal of Human Resources is to create "a public service workforce committed to outstanding performance." One focus area for this division is developing strategies to attract and retain employees who share and support the Corporate values, are committed to serving the community, and aspire to achieve outstanding performance. Desired Result: Hire and retain competent / qualified employees. One way to measure this is to track turnover. A low turnover rate would indicate that the City is a good place to work and that we are successful at hiring the right staff for the right position. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 14 Turnover Rate 60/0 50/0 CI.) ... 40/0 <<S a: J.... CI.) 30/0 > 0 c: J.... 20/0 ~ I- 10/0 00/0 2005 2006 Target Year The turnover rate for 2006 was 4.40/0 which is lower than 2005 and lower than the target of 50/0. The reduction in the turnover rate from 2005, and the low turnover rate in general, is a strong indicator that the City of Kitchener continues to be a desired place to work from an employee perspective. I Desired Result: Timely hiring cycle In order to minimize work disruptions and provide effective continuous service to the community it is important to fill vacant positions as quickly as possible. On average the goal is to have no more than 50 days between the approval-to-hire date and the hiring letter. H iring Cycle Time CI.) 90 E i= 80 CI.) 70 ~ UJ 60 (J > 50 C)a3 .E ~ 40 :E .- 30 8, 20 f! 10 CI.) ~ 0 2005 2006 Year Target At times there are circumstances which add to the projected target days. In 2006 several management positions were challenging and time consuming to recruit for and a number of job 2006 Performance Measurement Report 15 competitions were placed on hold at the request of the hiring department. These types of situations are beyond HR staff's control and increase the hiring cycle significantly. Human Resources strives to foster a culture that is healthy, safe and secure, rewarding and fun. Desired Result: Safe and secure workplace. Human Resources currently tracks a number of health and safety metrics across the corporation. Targets have been set based on past history.

"C .0 80 c: ..... 0 60 =I:t: 40 20 0 Lost Time Health Care First Aid Hazards Preventable Vehicle Incidents The number of lost time incidents increased slightly from 47 incidents in 2005 to 52 incidents in 2006. The number of health care claims also slightly increased from 62 in 2005 to 66 in 2006. The slight increases have not shown an increase in anyone accident type or shown any trend over all however will be monitored further in 2007. Hazard reports increased from 117 in 2005 to 151 in 2007. Hazards are incidents or hazards identified by staff that did not result in an injury but require further investigation because there could be a future potential injury if not corrected. Increases may be attributed to increase training over the years and also increased awareness of prevention strategies. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 16 6. Facilities Manaaement The goal of the Facilities Management division is "to build and manage a quality corporate portfolio of facility and property assets to maximize public service and value." The division includes three main types of service including Security, Facilities Maintenance, and Project and Energy Management Security I Desired Result: Safe buildings One way to measure this is the number of security incidents. These are further broken down into type of incident. Note that the Itrack software used to track these metrics was only installed in April 2006 therefore there are only results starting in the 2nd quarter of 2006. Security Incidents 20 30 40 Target Alarms 188 165 145 188 Assistance 82 95 81 84 Enforcement 275 281 199 313 Property 165 236 273 165 Surveillance 1 10 8 5 2006 Security Incidents 350 UJ 300 .... c: 250 Q) -a 200 .0 .5 150 ...... 100 0 :t:t: 50 0 ~~ ~~ ~ CJ0 'b-~ .SJ rg. ~~ ~ ~eJ veJ ~o~ <v~ Type of Incident ~ e; ,o.q ~ CJ0 ~ .~~ 0" ~ C:JV It should be noted that the ultimate target for security incidents should be zero, as that would truly reflect the safety of the buildings. However, the targets have been set at a more realistic level, based on past history. It should also be noted that the trends shift from locations depending on both calls and time of year. Security staff continues to rely on both public and staff to assist and be the extra eyes to complement their patrols and reporting of incidents can be a positive reflection of this process. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 17 Facilities Maintenance Desired Result: Customer satisfaction An indirect method of measuring customer satisfaction is the demand for services by means of counting the number of work orders received. In the future, customer satisfaction will also be measured using a customer survey. Target per 10 20 30 40 quarter # of work orders 2,310 2,715 2,368 2,590 2,500 Work Orders 2,800 ~ 2,700 ~ 2,600 ~ 2,500 o 2,400 ~ '0 2,300 :tt: 2,200 2, 1 00 10 20 30 40 Target per quarter Quarter Work orders vary from month to month due to preventative maintenance programs and diverse seasonal operations located within City facilities and parks. An increase in work orders can also be attributed to community events, new buildings, and building additions. Energy Management I Desired Result: Energy efficiency. This area is measured using a narrative to describe the various initiatives underway to accomplish this desired result: 1. Correcting the power factor at Lyle Hallman Pool with a speculated capacitor bank. Poor power factor causes an extra strain on the power grid thus commercial and industrial consumers are penalized with added cost to their monthly billing. 2. Re-Iamping City Hall with lower wattage fluorescent tubes and combining 2 - two lamp ballast with 1 - four lamp ballast. The results will decrease the lighting where this applies by 500/0. Note: Kitchener Wilmot Hydro is so impressed with 2006 Performance Measurement Report 18 the savings their building is presently being retrofitted with the lower wattage ballast and tubes. 3. L.E.D. (light emitting diode) technology has moved to the forefront in all energy projects where applicable. Starting with Kitchener City Hall in the washrooms and decorative wall washing lighting will be replaced with this technology. L.E.D. lighting cuts the energy consumption by 900/0 in some cases and has a perpetual life span. Investigation is ongoing to install L.E.D. light standards around City buildings for parking lots and areas where the public resides i.e. City Hall square and Market Square Piazza. These light standards are self sufficient power by solar panels and miniature wind mills. 4. All transformers from 10 KV A (kilovolt amps) to 2000 KV A are being spec to be replaced with energy efficient transformers. At City Hall alone 60 transformers are being analyzed for replacement. 5. Homer Watson House is being audited to upgrade their indoor lights. 6. The new Twin Pad is being spec to L.E.E.D. gold and now the new Fire Station 7 is in the process of following suit to meet the standard of L.E.E.D. silver or gold. 7. Information Technoloav (I.T.) The goal of the I.T. division is "to develop an integrated, enterprise-wide framework of electronic information systems and automated business processes; and further to utilize leading edge technology to provide reliable and convenient access to City services, information and business processes through a full range of access points." Desired Result: Delivery of a range of reliable and convenient services. Internal staff is randomly surveyed through an on-line questionnaire following service interactions with the division through the Client Services Help Desk. Staff responsiveness and Help Desk expertise are two of the areas measured. Customer Satisfaction 2006 Target Responsiveness 960/0 750/0 HelpDesk expertise 980/0 750/0 2006 Performance Measurement Report 19 Customer Satisfaction ~ 1200/0 :.;:: .!!! c; en en Q) en c o c.

All support calls to I.T. are handled in consideration of priority and impact to the client - the high rating for responsiveness is a good indication that the developed processes for handling and prioritizing calls are working well. The high rating for Helpdesk expertise indicates that Helpdesk staff is well trained to do the job and demonstrate high levels of proficiency to their clients. Desired Result: Comprehensive support of the corporation's business systems. One area of support that I.T. delivers is the protection of the City's information systems against viruses. This can be measured as the percentage of security / virus alerts that are acted upon by LT. prior to impacting the City's network.

Each threat is assessed and countermeasures are put in place to protect the network. As an example, upon learning of a new e-mail borne virus threat, LT. may add filters to block certain type of file attachments temporarily to prevent the virus from getting in the City's network until we can obtain updated detection files from our 2006 Performance Measurement Report 20 antivirus vendors. Our proactive approach has paid off - In 2006, we had no outages caused by a virus or security vulnerability. Desired Result: Provide e-government services for internal and external clients. A critical element of providing e-government services is the existence of a dynamic and interesting web page. Although no target has been set in this area, the number of web hits for both the internet (external) and intranet (internal) are being tracked. In future years, the web hits can be compared year over year to see if web use is increasing. For 2006 the web hits were: · Internet hits (homepage) = 506,216 · Intranet hits (homepage) = 557,793 The corporate website is becoming another channel for communication and service for the City of Kitchener. Additional services and inclusion in the Corporate Service Strategy will increase the demand for this service channel. An increase in the use of the website will parallel the activities in the customer service area. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 21 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None. COMMUNICATIONS: This report will be posted on the City's internal intranet page on the Performance Measurement web page under "Be Informed" for all staff to view. An email to all staff will be sent out with a link to this site. The Municipal Performance Measurement Program (MPMP) metrics will be posted on both the Performance Measurement intranet site and the external internet site as directed by the Province of Ontario. Selected metrics from the MPMP metrics have been used in the City of Kitchener's 2006 Annual Report to Citizens. CONCLUSION: Implementation of the Performance Measurement program across all City divisions continues, with fourteen divisions / sections currently measuring their results and three more divisions in progress. The content of this report offers a snapshot into what is currently being measured. With the roll-out of the new City of Kitchener Corporate Strategic Plan and associated Business Planning Process, all divisions and departments will be participating in creating metrics even if they haven't formally implemented the full Performance Measurement program. By measuring what we do, as a City we will be able to make informed business decisions and better manage our operations. It will also provide accountability to Council and our citizens. Corina Tasker, CMA Performance Measurement Lead and Internal Auditor 2006 Performance Measurement Report 22 Appendix A - Complete List of Divisional Metrics Note: Each divisional report has a "Dashboard Reading" column which indicates a colour: red, yellow or green. Green indicates the target was met or exceeded in the most recent period. Yellow indicates the target was missed slightly, indicating that precautions should be taken to improve the result. Red indicates the results are unacceptable compared to targets and an analysis should be done to identify the causes and make required changes. 2006 Performance Measurement Report 23 '0 Ul <tl Ul :l.. - ~ ~ (1) E .s:: ~ B~~~ S2~~~ o~o >g := <tl UE .E Q) a.. o~~ 'i I...
