For the purpose of this article, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
COMMUNITY PLANNING AREAS. To the extent practicable, goals, strategies, and objective should vary depending on conditions within the different Community Planning Areas.
FIVE-YEAR GOALS. A concise statement that summarizes a set of related results or outcomes as defined by desired community or customer conditions. A goal can be a description of what Albuquerque would be like if the goal were achieved. It is achievable and
lends itself to measurement. A goal represents a long-term purpose and direction that addresses the big picture. A goal is broad, but not vague. Goal measurement is based on tracking the changes in specific desired conditions.
ONE-YEAR OBJECTIVES. Objectives are specific steps taken by the City for achieving goals. For the most part, objectives should be tangible products rather than the activities that produce the products. Objectives are the results of explicit strategies to achieve the goals. An objective describes in specific and measurable terms the results a program is expected to achieve toward a certain goal. Each objective should be attainable within a specified period of time, preferably within a fiscal year or two consecutive fiscal years.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT. Performance measurement is a systematic approach to quantify and analyze activities to determine the amount of service delivered and/or work performed, as well as how effective, efficient, and responsive services are and what impact they have on the community and customer. Goal Progress Indicators quantify the progress made towards achieving goals.
VISION. A short description of the future which is sought for the community.
