BACKGROUND Modeled after a similar program developed by the New York City Police Department. CitiStat represents the extended application of the same basic principles to the management of all functions. Utilizing existing information technology systems and off- the-shelf software limited our initial non-personnel start-up costs to just $20,000.
The StateStat Process
Managers are required to report on critical service initiatives and questioned about agency performance. Opportunities to improve coordination and cooperation are identified; strategies to achieve improvement are formulated. StateStat PROCESS
Participating agencies submit customized data templates on a bi-weekly basis to report on key performance indicators. StateStat PROCESS
Data is carefully analyzed, performance trends are closely monitored, and strategies to achieve improved performance are developed. StateStat PROCESS
Digital maps are used to plot complaints, vacant homes, lead paint violations, food inspections, and potholes, allowing managers to track employee performance and public service delivery. StateStat PROCESS
CitiTrack, the Citys information technology system that supports the One Call to City Hall concept via 311, captures hundreds of different service request categories. This data is in turn reviewed during agencies regular CitiStat meetings.

Impact
CitiStat has undertaken categorical and individual initiative tracking efforts dating back to FY2000 and FY2001 for cost savings, cost avoidance, and revenue enhancement initiatives. All told through FY2005, CitiStat can point to over $350 million in quantified financial impacts, without assigning any financial value to the many significant service level improvements achieved during that time.
