Moundridge financial analysis

   The Public Policy and Management Center recently completed a financial analysis for the City of Moundridge. Nancy McCarthy Snyder, former director of the Hugo Wall School, and Matt Stiles, program manager at the PPMC, provided a five-year financial analysis that evaluated the fiscal health of the organization. Moundridge was also benchmarked against similar-size communities with comparable utilities to help identify any influencing factors that might impact service delivery in the short- and long-term. Based on that analysis, a series of best practices were presented as options to improve fiscal transparency and maintain the excellent financial position of the city. Final findings were presented in December and the city intends to incorporate the findings into its management practices in future fiscal years.
Goddard Public Library strategic planning
    
  The Goddard Public Library engaged the PPMC  to assist with the research and development of a community-based visioning process to create a  comprehensive strategic plan. The planning horizon defined through the engagement was four years beginning in  October 2018. Focus groups and interviews were conducted with community groups, elected officials and library staff. The plan revised the library mission statement and identified five strategic goals. The plan will be presented to the Goddard City Council in the early months of 2019. Once the plan is officially adopted by the library board, it will be posted on the library's website.
