BEST PRACTICE EXAMPLES City of New York, NY: Annual Progress Report The monitoring and evaluation of PIaNYC progress follows Mayor Bloomberg's adopted motto, "If you can't measure it you can't manage it." Mayor Bloomberg has been a pio- neer in terms of tracking progress on campaign promises and using performance indica- tors to monitor City operations. In keeping with this approach, the City Council passed Local Law 17 in 2008, which amended the city charter and administrative code to add the Mayor's Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability as a permanent mayoral office. This local law charges the Mayor's Office with implementing PIaNYC, identifying and re- porting on a set of sustainability indicators, and publishing an annual progress report. The City also passed Local Law 22 in 2008, which enacts the emissions reductions targets in PIaNYC to reduce emissions from City government by 30 percent by 2017 and for the city as a whole by 30 percent by 2030. It also requires the Mayor's Office to update the green- . ;�„- house gas emissions inventory annually. II One year after Mayor Bloomberg released PIaNYC in April 2007, the City launched 93 percent of the 127 initiatives in the plan. Two years after the release of the plan, all of the 2 . initiatives have been launched, 35 have been completed, and 50 are on time. ;,,: ;100t m`}u .. ll3 The City uses an internal spreadsheet to track the implementation progress of each initia- W. l a �. tive and meets regularly with each of the implementation coordinators in the various City t.. I IF t;1 agencies. The Mayor's Office first published a brief six-month progress report in October IT s f 2007, and now releases a comprehensive annual progress report on Earth Day, the an- I i t - -_ niversary of the release of PIaNYC.1. • f The City of New York also released a set of sustainability indicators on Earth Day 2009, i* t .t:as i.- r,,, - i i -i s a . = which provides an additional mechanism for tracking progress. _ i i wi To learn more, view the City's 2008 PIaNYC Annual Progress Report and the 2009 PIaNYC IT E # Annual Progress Report.
