City Receives International Recognition
The City of North Las Vegas
is one of 18 jurisdictions this year to receive a Certificate of Distinction
from the International City/County Management Association Center for Performance
Measurement for its reporting of performance data to the public through budgets,
newsletters, and information provided to elected officials.
This is the fifth year the
City has been recognized by ICMA and the first year it has surpassed its
accomplishment of the past four years, in which it obtained the Certificate of
Achievement. The Certificate of Distinction required the City to excel in a
greater number of reporting categories, including staff training and data
verification efforts to ensure the data’s reliability, demonstrated use and
sharing of performance data in strategic planning and management
decision-making, and sharing of performance measurement knowledge with other
local governments through presentations, site visits and other networking.
“The City is proud to receive
recognition for our ongoing dedication to transparent government and
accountability,” City Manager Gregory E. Rose said.
The Certificate of
Distinction also recognizes the success of its annual Performance Report as a
means for accountability, transparency and performance measurement.
ICMA is a professional
organization for chief appointed managers, administrators, and assistants in
local governments across the globe. The association aims to promote
accountability, transparency and quality of service delivery to the general
public.
