Um but for our for our committee we looked at um Goals for city services and how do we compare our cost with other cities comprehensively?
We also looked at our investments in our CAP, uh as especially our fleet and energy consumption, and then total cost of city services comparison to peer cities. So those are our performance measurements. that we have approved. Uh Councilmember Mitchell had provided feedback on sharing collaborations with our partners at federal, state and county level. So that uh that would be something good to share with our constituents. So I don't know how we could include that as part of our dashboard, but that's something Julia is looking into. Uh Julia Martin with the city manager's office. So that's on performance m measurements. Anything I missed, committee members, on that before I move on to the next topic? No ma'am.
