DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS
The Planning and Data Analytics Department was formed in January 2020 to align the planning and budgeting
activities of the City more closely with its long-range goals and strategies and enable greater staff engagement on

improvement through Lean training, conducts surveys, operational reviews, and benchmarking to evaluate a
department’s efficiency and resource allocation.
