City of Minneapolis, MN: Designating Coordinators for Each Indicator After releasing its sustainability plan, which included 25 sustainability indicators, Minneapolis assigned a coordinator to manage the measures associated with each indicator. Instead of assigning liaisons from each department to manage the activities within their department. the City assigned a staff representa- tive to coordinate all of the activities associated with each indicator. These indicator coordinators were selected from the various City departments and were already working on many of the issues associated with each indicator. This approach to managing the implementation allowed the City to work with its existing staff resources and to break down boundaries between the departments. s io i 1;35 ilt . ...

To be transparent and accountable to the public by tracking and reporting on imple- mentation progress and using a set of indicators to track overall improvements in local sustainability. Milestone Description: Once implementation begins, it is time to create processes to track progress toward the sustainability plan's goals. This can be done by reporting on the set of sustainability indica- tors developed in Milestone One, publishing an annual progress report, and updating the greenhouse gas emissions inventory. The annual progress report is the primary mechanism for a local government to demonstrate account- ability and transparency to the public and key stakeholders. This report should summarize the actions taken, next steps, and key milestones of all of the plan's measures, and highlight how the actions taken are helping to achieve the sustainability goals. In addition, it should explain any implementation barriers or strategic changes to the implementation approach. ICLEI MILESTONE FIVE AWARD REQUIREMENTS • Annual progress reports submitted to ICLEI on measures outlined in the sustainability plan • The completion of an updated greenhouse gas emissions inventory within three years of the baseline year • Submittal to ICLEI of all inventory data (from software tool) • Submittal to ICLEI of a report summarizing the inventory results 49 .< �
