SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION
Review the Draft Requests for Results for the 2011-12 Budgeting for Outcomes
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of the work session is to'hear brief presentations from three of the seven staff Results
Teams and provide feedback to the teams regarding the draft Requests for Results (RFRs). The
RFRs will be used by staff in developing the City Manager's Recommended 2011-12 Budget. The
areas to be reviewed tonight are:
1. Transportation
2. Culture, Parks and Recreation
3. Economic Health
GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
1. Is Council in agreement with the overall strategy and direction of the Results Teams?
2. Does Council have any suggested changes to the proposed Requests for Results which have
been developed by the seven Results Teams?
BACKGROUND
In 2005, the City implemented Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO), a new process that is based on
collaboration,transparency and delivering the services that matter most to the public. BFO is based
on the premise that there is a"price of government,"a percentage of personal income the public is
willing to pay for their government through taxes, fees, and charges. While traditional budget
models are built around covering costs,BFO shifts the focus from paying for costs to buying results
within available revenue streams. BFO can be described as a series of basic steps:
• Determine how much revenue will be available
• Determine what results matter most to citizens
• Decide how much to spend to achieve each result
• Decide how to best deliver the results that citizens expect
April 6, 2010 Page 2
BFO puts citizens and their priorities first. It emphasizes accountability,efficiency and innovation.
The City of Fort Collins will continue this commitment to BFO for 2011-12,and have continued to
make improvements to the BFO process based on previous budgeting cycles and the current
economic environment.
In addition, the City's financial condition still contains considerable uncertainty as we enter the
2011-12 budget cycle. The financial downturn that began in the fall of 2008 has led to a significant
decrease in General Fund Revenue in 2010 as consumer spending continues to be projected relatively
flat compared to 2009. Staff should continue to seek efficiencies and be creative in finding new
ways to maintain and maximize existing services.
The following is a summary of how City staff will be involved in the BFO process:
• Results Teams will develop Request for Results(RFR's)that document purchasing strategies
for the outcomes adopted by City Council.
• Departments/Divisions("Sellers")will build and submit their budget offers based upon the
purchasing strategies identified in the RFR's, and identify funding sources that will allow
delivery of their proposed offers.
• Results Teams will review Seller's offers and rank them based on their ability to deliver the
desired result. This recommended ranking (drilling platform) will be submitted to the
Budget Lead Team.
• The Budget Lead Team reviews the work of the Results Team and develops the City
Manager's Recommended Budget.
Following staff s work on the budget,Council will work during September and October to transform
the City Manager's Recommended Budget into its own adopted budget for 2011-12. Council's
deliberation process will include several work sessions, as well as public hearings to invite
participation of the community, Boards and Commissions.
2011-12 OUTCOMES
At the February 26 and 27, 2010 Council Goal Setting Retreat, Council provided direction that the
same seven outcomes that were adopted by Council for 2006-07 will again be used for 2011-12 with
the exception of one name change. They are as follows:
• Economic Health
Fort Collins promotes a healthy, sustainable economy reflecting the values of our unique
community in a changing world.
• Environmental Health
Fort Collins promotes, protects and enhances a healthy and sustainable environment.

• Neighborhood Livability
Fort Collins fosters and supports a variety of quality neighborhoods.
• Safe Community
Fort Collins is a safe place to live, work, learn and play.
• Cultural, Parks and Recreation

by Results Team)
• Transportation
Fort Collins provides for safe and reliable multi-modal travel to, from and throughout the
city.
• High Performing Government

government.
REQUESTS FOR RESULTS
The Requests for Results (RFR's) will be developed by Result Teams to guide Sellers in the
preparation of their offers. Much like a Purchasing Request for Proposal for services, an RFR
outlines what kind of offers the team thinks will produce the desired outcome/result. The RFR's
consist of:
• A statement of the outcome/result
• Identification of up to eight performance indicators that will tell us when we have achieved
the outcome/result
• Purchasing strategies that are intended to guide Sellers in preparing the types of offers the
Result Team wants
• A Result Map which graphically depicts how the outcome/result can be achieved
Council will be asked to review the draft Requests for Results and provide feedback or suggestions
for changes prior to the Results Teams formally issuing their RFRs to Sellers.

Transportation - Improve Transportation : Fort Collins provides for safe and reliable multi - modal travel
to, from, and throughout the city
Introduction / Summary of Results Map
We want offers that support the City's transportation system including quality infrastructure, smooth
traffic flow, and multiple travel options contributing to a strong economy, healthy environment, and
vibrant community . The system needs to facilitate safe and reliable multi - modal travel in order to
provide the services the community expects . Quality transportation planning , programs, and projects
strengthen our local economy and demonstrate the City's commitment to environmental stewardship
by supporting the efficient movement of people and goods . First and foremost, the system must be
maintained well enough to protect the City's transportation investments .
For the 2011 -2012 Budget, there likely will be continued decreases in the City's available resources .
Historically, Fort Collins residents identify transportation as a high priority and consistently ask for more
effort toward transportation . There is an obvious disconnect; citizens expect the City to provide better
and additional transportation services, yet we have decreasing resources .
Given these circumstances, sellers should present offers that demonstrate innovative ways to increase
efficiency and cost-savings . We don 't want the same "status quo minus . " We encourage ideas that
actively support the City goals of innovation , sustainability, and customer service . In both the narrative
and accompanying financial information , sellers should clearly identify how offers differ from years
past. Further, reduction offers should clearly define any decreases in the level of service and the
impacts to the community.
Offers should not request funding based on departments or divisions . Offers should address specific
services that citizens understand , not overarching functions . For example, Parking Services would
submit separate offers for : enforcement, garage operations, surface lot operations,
administrative/customer service, maintenance, etc .
Further, offers should not only address the overall goal of safe, reliable, multi - modal travel but also
contribute to accomplishing Council priorities .
Updated 4/ 1 /2010 Page 1 of 4
Indicators
Indicator 1 : Citizen Satisfaction Measure; Community Survey
There are several qualitative parameters that are implied in the desire for reliability of travel , which will
be measured through opinion polls . Statistically valid surveys have been conducted in recent years;
these allow us to benchmark new survey information against perceptions citizens have expressed about
the reliability of mobility and other transportation concerns .
Indicator 2 : Mobility
Measure: Time traveled on selected routes and delay times at key intersections
To evaluate reliability of automotive travel , the average time it takes to travel at least six of Fort
Collins' primary arterial streets during " peak" travel times will be measured . Delays at key arterial
intersections will also measure mobility/ reliability of travel .
Indicator 3 : Transit Mobility
Measure; Transit ridership and timeliness
To evaluate reliability of travel by transit, changes in fixed - route ridership per calendar year will be
measured . Reliability of travel by transit will be measured by percentage of on -time transit service .
Indicator 4 : Use of Alternative Modes
Measure: Number of trips by bicyclists and pedestrians, which otherwise would have been
made by motor vehicle.
Indicator 5 : Roadway System Maintenance
Measure; Roadway conditions
Roadway conditions measure efforts and effectiveness of roadway maintenance which contribute to the
safety and reliability of travel . Roadway conditions will be measured by :
• Average pavement conditions of Fort Collins roads
• Number of maintenance requests and complaints per year (e . g . , potholes, snow removal , sweeping )
Indicator 6 : Safety
Measure; Number of accidents per thousand residents
The overall safety of the transportation system will be measured and evaluated in terms of accident
rates and in comparison to peer cities .

Introduction / Summary of Results Map
The 2010 Result Team spent time reviewing the past RFR and made some sight changes based on
perceived priorities . Greater emphasis has been placed on innovation , customer service, and
sustainability principals throughout the document. The Results Map articulates the Team 's goal to
provide quality parks, cultural and recreational opportunities for the Fort Collins community . The map
highlights the Team 's desire for sustainable practices, high - level customer service, and quality facilities
that meet community needs .
The map contains three primary factors and their associated secondary factors that focus on
responsiveness to customers, convenient and affordable access, and quality facilities and lands . Five
indicators and their measurements are also contained in the RFR along with seven purchasing
strategies to guide sellers in creating their offers . Sustainability, innovation and customer service are
the major criteria for evaluating offers .
Indicators
Indicator One : Customer satisfaction with cultural and recreational programs .
Measures :
■ Maintain or improve "Good " and "Very Good " cultural and recreation programming ratings
on the Citizen Survey .
The 2008 Citizen Survey has provided a benchmark to measure customer satisfaction with numerous
programs . As long as future surveys include these same questions and measures customer satisfaction
can be easily tracked .
Indicator Two : Customer satisfaction with facilities and lands .
Measures :
■ Maintain or improve "Good " and "Very Good " recreation facilities ratings on the Citizen
Survey.
Updated 4/ 1 /2010 Pagel of 3
■ Maintain or improve "Good " and "Very Good " parks, trails and natural areas ratings on the
Citizen Survey .
The 2008 Citizen Survey has provided a benchmark to measure customer satisfaction with cultural and
recreation facilities, and with natural areas and trails . As long as future surveys include these same
questions and measures customer satisfaction can be easily tracked .
Indicator Three : Customer usage of cultural and recreational programming .
Measures :
■ Maintain or increase youth registrations and usage of City cultural and recreational
programs and facilities .
■ Maintain or increase adult registrations and usage of City cultural and recreational programs
and facilities .
■ Maintain or improve "Good " and "Very Good " availability and diversity in activities ratings on
the Citizen Survey.
Some programs have the ability to track and report registrations by age demographics . By capturing
this usage data we can ensure that our community needs are met for all ages . The Citizen Survey also
provides a good measure for citizen perception of the availability and diversity of cultural and
recreational opportunities in Fort Collins .
Indicator Four : Provide sustainable programs through partnerships, volunteers, fees, charges and
sponsorships .
Measures :
■ Track volunteer hours as a measure of offsetting program costs and services .
■ Track non-general fund support as a percentage of overall revenues .
This indicator and the associated measures promote long term financial sustainability for cultural and
recreational opportunities .
Indicator Five : Utilize the Colorado Performance Measurement Tracking System ( referred to as ICMA)
and other comparable measurement tools already in place for trending data and strategic planning .
Measure :
■ As utilized by department . This data will be tracked by department for decision making ,
telling program story, and reporting to the public .
This indicator is intended to provide meaningful data for staff and the public, particularly in years when
the Citizen Survey is not administered .
Purchasing Strategies
We encourage offers that support the three primary factors;
• Responsive to Customers
• Convenient & Affordable Access
• Quality Facilities and Lands
The Team would also like to encourage sellers to highlight, in bullet form , their top innovations and
sustainability efforts ( up to10), if applicable . Sellers should also compile a list of partnerships they
Updated 4/ 1 /2010 Page 2 of 3
utilize . This list should not be included in the offer but available upon request by the Team or Council .
Please note if the benefit or strength of partnerships have declined as the economy has struggled .
1. Maximize efforts to manage expenses and revenues through all available means,
such as grants, sponsorships, volunteers, etc.
2. Serve diverse customer needs (age, income, gender, ethnicity, and abilities)
including providing positive alternatives for youth and children .
3 . Provide programs and facilities that contribute to the economic, social, and
environmental health of Fort Collins through art, culture, recreation and
partnerships.
4. Maintain current cultural and recreational facilities, parks, trails and lands to
assure the sustainability of these capital investments while utilizing conservation
and "green energy" practices where appropriate.
5 . Offer diverse programming that is both cost effective and maintains or improves
customer satisfaction .
6 . Demonstrate one or more of the following : sustainability, innovation, quality
customer service in each offer.
7 . Identify programs for which the City has a mandate or unique ability to provide.
Notes/ Practices/ Supporting Evidence
Rationale for RFR and Primary and Secondary Factors
It is the team 's expectation that offers should align with relevant Council approved plans such as the
Cultural Plan , the Parks and Recreation Policy Plan and the Natural Areas Strategic Plan .
The process for defining primary factors, secondary factors and indicators involved taking a broad view
of the types of programs, facilities, and lands that meet the needs of the community . Customer
service, innovation , diversity, sustainability, quality, and accessibility are among the factors identified to
fulfill the outcome . The Team will accept a wide variety of offers that meet the needs of all ages and
abilities, with an emphasis on youth and children . The Team is also looking for offers that maintain
high quality facilities, parks, and lands .
