Sustainability indicators should be used to monitor changes to the overall sustainability of the jurisdiction and serve as a supplemental mechanism for tracking implementation progress. The updated greenhouse gas emissions inventory allows the local government to track its overall progress toward achieving the emissions reductions target. Completing Milestone Five closes the loop on the first round of the planning process, and enables a local government to update the sustainability plan and to restart the Five Mile- stone process. TASKS: 1. Review sustainability indicators and gather missing baseline data. • Review the sustainability indicators developed in Milestone One, for the sustainability assessment, and determine if any additional or different indicators are necessary. • For any new indicators, gather relevant baseline data. • Indicators should be clear, relevant, compelling, and mea- 01- 1 surable, and should address the ' overall sustainability of the , jurisdiction. • Develop a transparent • system for reporting indicator loor data to the public. 2. Develop an annual progress report to update the public, • Develop a tracking system for monitoring the progress of the measures in the plan. • Develop an annual progress report. • Release the progress report to the public and have the mayor or chief elected official announce the progress made to date. WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT ❑ Responsible parties:Clearly state the department, agency, or individuals responsible for imple- menting each measure in the sustainability plan, even if this is already included in the plan. ❑ Status of measures: Summarize what actions have been taken to implement each measure. Categorize each measure with terminology such as "completed," "launched," or"not started." ❑ Quantified progress: Calculate the progress on each measure's target, such as greenhouse gas emissions reduced or affordable housing units built. ❑ Achievements and challenges: Highlight the successes your municipality achieved, but also discuss any barriers encountered during the reporting period. Learning from both the successes and setbacks will help when updating your implementation plan for the next reporting period. Next steps: Explain for each measure what must occur during the next reporting period to meet the 50 goals and target years set by the implementation plan.
