Advancement of Council Strategic Priorities
Address PROGRAMS & SERVICES that are provided by your department. DO NOT necessarily get with the council and say, “In 2014 my budget was $xxxx and in 2018 it will be $yyyy.” A better example would be to state, using Elections as an example, “In 2014 we were voting by machines, now we are doing mail-in ballots.” Here, continuing with the example, it could be stated that this is more or less efficient than the machines determined by whatever measure of success.
