each respective goal area. Program-level indicators show the performance or effectiveness of specific <br /> programs, policies, or actions taken by the City government or other stakeholders in the community. <br /> Santa Monica has set specific targets for many of the indicators, but was unable to establish baselines <br /> and targets for some indicators in which data was not available at the time. For these indicators, the City <br /> reports on the trends. <br /> As an example, for the resource conservation goal area, the City rates its overall progress with a let- <br /> ter grade and also rates its effort. So in 2008, Santa Monica received a C+ for resource conservation, <br /> however the City gave itself an A- for effort. The rationale behind these grades is based on the scores <br /> for each of the categories within resource conservation, such as solid waste, water use, and energy use. <br /> For each of these categories, the City has an indicator, such as `citywide water use, percent local vs. <br /> imported & potable vs. non-potable." The City reports on the status and trends for each indicator and <br /> provides a detailed description of actions taken, performance summary, and recommendations for areas <br /> for improvement. <br /> City of Seattle, WA: Reporting Annual Progress Towards Achieving Goals <br /> The City of Seattle publishes an annual progress report summarizing its climate action plan achieve- <br /> ments along with an implementation matrix tracking the progress on each measure in the plan. The <br /> report highlights the City's key accomplishments and includes numbers and figures, to demonstrate the <br /> progress, such as creating 50 miles of new bike lanes or distributing 1.4 million CFLs. The report also <br /> shows trends for some of the City's sustainability indicators, such as bike-to-work-day participation and <br /> transit ridership. For more information, view Seattle's progress report. In addition to the annual report, the <br /> City releases an implementation matrix that provides a status update on the implementation of each mea- <br /> sure in the climate actionP lan. <br /> 3� , cwt - 3`f '4 ff �4 '4v' 4r. <br /> I <br /> i <br /> I <br /> '-' -ft IT ' #E s E - <br /> fir,i. tZ ~�... .: , .. .. eZ 4,1 V:' . :. <br />
