City Manager
EXECUTIVE OFFICER
It is my pleasure to present the 2022 Popular Annual Financial Report for the City of Greenacres.
As we grow as a City, we must ensure that we are providing supporting infrastructure, amenities, and programming to keep up with this growth. We have been able to spend your dollars wisely and invest in projects that will improve the quality of life for our residents.
The City is planning for an Emergency Operations Center and Training Facility, and a third Fire Station to support our increased call volume. We are connecting access points and improving roadway conditions for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. Our septic to sewer systems conversion in our Original Section will improve our environment, increase property values and provide for a better quality of life. Construction of the City's new Youth Programs building to support the growing demand of our nationally accredited, Gold Seal designated after school and camp programs will further the mission of the Mayor and City Council to provide youth programming through high school.

The City continues to update policies and procedures, and codes. We are currently in the process of updating the City’s Comprehensive Plan to provide a long-term roadmap for development and redevelopment, new and improved amenities, affordable housing, open space, and quality education opportunities. Your input has been critical in the development of this plan. Funds received from the voter approved one-penny surtax, CARES funding and the American Rescue Plan dollars allocated to the City have allowed us to do so many of these quality-of-life projects with little to no impact on the City's general fund.
Demand for attainable housing is exceeding available inventory and over the next two (2) years, 300+ new units will be built in the City from apartment complexes and townhomes to single family homes. However, opportunites for redevelopment to provide for more housing and/or expanded retail and commercial amenities are critical as the City is 99% built out. We are trying to do what we can to maintain the affordability of our community while offering services and amenities to support our residents and visitors.
In everything we do, we are striving to provide a great place to live, learn, work and play and it is our hope that you are seeing the fruits of that labor every day. We are excited for all that is on the horizon!
Business Management
Successful businesses provide the best value in goods and services with excellent customer service and outstanding return on investment to their shareholders. In Greenacres, we manage our organization by employing the best business practices and continually evaluate the quality and cost of our services to ensure that our residents and businesses get the best value in services and that the City is being a good steward with their public investment.
Performance Measures
The City utilizes a performance management system to manage for even better results from the taxpayer’s perspective. Our performance measures include the inputs (resources to provide a service) , outputs (amountofservices) , efficiency (productivity or unit cost) , and effectiveness (quality of service) . Performance measures are part of the City’s annual budget which is based on allocating resources for plans, programs and strategies to accomplish our short and long term goals to help achieve our mission. The performance measurement system is used to evaluate our service delivery system to ensure its efficiency and effectiveness.
We also compare our actual efficiency and effectiveness measures with benchmarking data from comparably sized cities in order to continually improve our service delivery process.
Benchmarking
To assess our performance, we analyzed the cost of our services with comparably sized and adjacent cities providing similar services. An indicator of efficiency is the cost per resident for City government services included in the general operating fund. Of the comparable cities, Greenacres residents have the lowest cost for city government services at $770.29 per resident. The analysis also shows that City residents have one of the lowest solid waste and recycling collection rates at $14.38 per month.
