The purpose of this Implementation Report is to provide the status of goals and action items in the FY17-FY21 Strategic Plan. FWPD uses the web-based ClearPoint software to track the progress of each goal and action item using one of the following status indicators.

A green star indicates that the goal or action item is complete for the current fiscal year.

A green arrow indicates that the goal or action item is on target to be completed within the specified timeline.

A yellow square indicates that the goal or action item is lagging and needs to be monitored in the near term to ensure that the goal can be completed within the specified timeline. A red arrow indicates that the goal or action item has insufficient progress needed in order to meet the specified timeline. A red status should not be interpreted as failure—it simply means that the goal or action item needs more attention. A blue circle indicates that the goal or action item is currently being monitored and that the implementation of that goal or action item is expected to start in a future quarter or year or is dependent upon funding availability.
