PERFORMANCE METRICS
ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Administration: Performance metrics in this section target strategic goals and objectives regarding administrative efficiency.
This measures points such as employee wellness program participation, policy review, retention rate, and new hire updates.
These measures are important for our residents because they indicate how the District recruits talent and what it does to
retain it. Positive retention and hiring statistics have significant implications for quality of service delivery and performance of
staff.
Fire Prevention Bureau: Performance metrics in this section target strategic goals and objectives regarding community risk
reduction and efficiency of comprehensive service delivery. This measures points involving inspections, pre-plans, and
education hours of staff. These measurements are important for our residents because they provide information on safety
compliances among our business community. Additionally, they indicate the anticipated timeline for initial inspections.
*Compliance Rate: The District has determined that for the Fire Prevention Bureau to function successfully and ensure safe
conditions for District residents, a stable benchmark for compliance rate after initial inspection is 70%. Consequently, the
Bureau focuses on meeting this benchmark at the end of Q4, when all annual inspections must be completed. Furthermore,
because of the way in which compliance rate is calculated, with multiple failed inspections all counting against compliance
rate, the District projects that monthly compliance by business is approximately 80-85%.
*Annual Inspections: This number will vary year to year as some occupancies are combined, or as new occupancies are
added to the District. Additionally, the ratio is often over 100% because of requested re-inspections.
*Pre-Plans: After making dedicated efforts to ensure all occupancies and target hazards within the District had functional preplans, the Fire Prevention Bureau now only has to create pre-plans for new construction or occupancies with new additions.
The remaining pre-plans are reviewed and analyzed for any necessary adjustments. As a result, the number of pre-plans
documented each year will be different. For example, there were 305 businesses and target hazards in FY24, and another
1,040 residential pre-plans that were amended to include information that reflects rural operational policies for the District. In
FY23, there were approximately 280 commercial occupancies and target hazards, but the District reviewed, improved, or
created 948 pre-plans. In terms of benchmarks, ISO (Insurance Services Office) requires the District review the accuracy of
every pre-plan for commercial occupancies. This is our target 100%.
