LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES CONNECTING & INNOVATING SINCE 1913 City Performance Measurement System: Meeting the Citizen Survey Requirement In 2010, the Legislature created the Council on Local Results and Innovation (Council) and charged it with developing ten performance measures for cities. The legislation also directed the State Auditor to administer the Performance Measurement Program by which cities meeting the eligibility requirements would receive funding of 14 cents per capita, up to $25,000, and be exempt from levy limits if they are in effect. One of the requirements is to report citizen survey results to the State Auditor. League survey tool available The League will once again manage an on -line survey that cities can use to fulfill the citizen survey requirement. The goal of doing so is to eliminate the need for each city to administer its own survey, thereby reducing costs and workload. This document is intended to provide cities with an overview of the program, details on what cities will need to do in order to participate in this collaborative survey effort and the exact services that the League will provide. Reporting requirements Below are all of the current reporting requirements from the Office of the State Auditor. Complete information on the requirements and how to report to the Auditor is available on the OSA site.
