REQUEST:
City Manager and Finance Department transmitting the City's fiscal year -end
financial reports for the 2011 fiscal year via the Executive Dashboard.
SYNOPSIS:
Transmission of financial year -end report for fiscal year 2011 is being presented using the
new dashboard technology /software. This design and concept was presented at the June 13,
2011 Regular Commission Meeting (Informational 102).
CONSIDERATIONS:
A digital dashboard is an executive information system that (similar to an automobile's
dashboard) is designed to be easy to read and display critical information about the overall
performance and financial health of an organization. These key metrics are displayed in a
graphical format that can be read quickly to determine if the organization is functioning
within acceptable ranges.
The financial statements and reports are unaudited and incorporate fiscal year activity from
October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011.
In the coming months, it is the intent of staff to continue to add reports and graphs to the
catalog that currently exists. This will continue to increase the financial transparency of the
City of Winter Springs. The reports can be accessed at:
http : / /www.winterspringsfl.org /en /dashboard/
NOTE: This information will also be verbally presented by Staff under Presentations Item
#300.
