Performance measures are used to gauge how well the City of Lauderhill achieves its objectives in providing quality services to the residents of Lauderhill. The City of Lauderhill’s Mission Statement is the guiding principal for its collection and reporting of performance measures.

 2004 Performance Report

 2005 Performance Report

“To make the City of Lauderhill a secure, clean, and desirable place to live, work and visit by providing for a continually improving wide range of city services; to encourage a community that retains and promotes employment opportunities, economic growth and improved quality of life, where people of diverse cultural backgrounds and incomes peacefully interrelate.”

The elements in the mission statement can be organized into domains, areas of interest that will be used in this report to categorize the performance measures. Relevant domains that reflect concerns of the mission statement include Security, Community, Economy, Environment, and Equity and Efficiency.

The definitions of the domains are rather fluid as this is the first year the City has used them in the annual Performance Report. The purpose is to attempt to categorize measures into meaningful subgroups that may help the user to understand the City’s progress towards certain objectives.

In its ongoing efforts to become more open and accountable and to strive to deliver services that are cost-effective and efficient, the City is using innovative tools to measure results, including business plans and benchmarking practices. The end result is to enhance the delivery of services to citizens, ensuring that they receive the best value of their tax-dollars.
