RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Chief Executive Officer to the Planning & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 2 February 2016 providing an update on progress with the
implementation of the Operational Plan to 31 December 2015 and details of Council’s Key
Performance Indicators.


REPORT
This report is in two parts. The first part provides Council with an overview of progress in
implementing the annual Operational Plan. The second part focuses on the Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs) which are reported to Council on a quarterly basis.

This report relates to the second quarter of the 2015/16 financial year.

1.                       OPERATIONAL PLAN UPDATE

For 2015/16, the Council adopted a new style of Operational Plan. Now, only the major
initiatives are included in the Operational Plan with the day to day “business as usual”
activities included in Branch Plans.

The Branch Plans have all been completed and are being used by Managers to deal with
day to day activities. They are proving to be an effective tool for ensuring that all of the
“business as usual” activities are undertaken and that any minor projects are followed
through.

What this means in practice is that the CEO quarterly reports to Council on progress with the
Operational Plan now purely focus on the most important projects being undertaken by
Council. Details of each Operational Plan project is set out in Attachment 1 with an
assessment of whether the issue in completed, on target or behind schedule. Comments
are also provided for the information of Councillors about the status of each issue. It is
important to note that the comments and assessment of the Operational Plan projects in the
attachment are “as at 31 December” i.e. the end of the second quarter.

The table following highlights some specific Operational Plan issues.
