PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Discuss the updated Demographic-Economic Trends and Forecast utilized for Dakota County’s
Community Indicators and provide an overview of the Program and Service Inventory.
SUMMARY
On October 8, 2024, the Office of Performance and Analysis (OPA) provided the County Board with an overview of Dakota County demographic and economic trends related to the County’s Community Indicators. Since that time, updated information has been released that impacts some Community Indicators, including U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) data, which was released in mid-September. This presentation will provide an overview of that updated information. Dakota County maintains information related to 26 Community Indicators and Performance Measures on the County’s public website (located at <http://www.co.dakota.mn.us/> under “Government,” “Performance & Analysis,” “Community Indicators”). These Community Indicators provide insight into the state of Dakota County and information that can inform discussions and decision making.
The presentation will conclude with a brief overview and examples of the Program and Service Inventory (PSI). While the County’s Community Indicators provide a high-level overview of County trends, the PSI provides information regarding individual program performance for Dakota County’s 219 programs and services. Examples will be provided showing how Outcomes Based Accountability (OBA) illustrates program performance through measurements of How much, How well, and Is anyone better off.
