Borough of Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, Just One of Many Municipal Governments Sharing Performance Data with Citizens

PARSIPPANY, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES, June 17, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Revelstone, a provider of performance analytics solutions, is changing the way local governments interact with and inform their citizenry. Revelstone has just unveiled its Public Performance Dashboard, an easy-to-use dashboard for the public to understand the performance of various municipal services. One of the first municipalities to go live with Revelstone’s Public Performance Dashboard is the Borough of Franklin Lakes, located in Bergen County, New Jersey. Citizens can view the dashboard here: http://bit.ly/1kYl8SZ

“One of our goals is to be as transparent as possible with our citizens,” said Greg Hart, Borough Administrator, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. “Revelstone’s Public Performance Dashboard allows us to easily publish information on how and what our departments are doing. Making this information publicly available goes a long way towards helping our citizens understand how we manage the Borough and how we provide services.”

Franklin Lakes’ performance dashboard displays data about its construction, police and municipal court departments. For example, the citizens of Franklin Lakes can now view details on the number of construction permits issued, the amount of permit fees collected and the number of inspections completed, all of which are indicators of economic health and affect the quality of life in the Borough. The Performance Dashboard provides historical information, allowing Franklin Lakes’ leaders, administrators and public to see trends in the performance of these departments and to assess the overall needs and inner workings of the Borough. This information gives citizens insights into the strategic direction the Borough is heading in, how their tax dollars are being spent, and where improvements can be made and efficiencies identified.

“Local Governments do great work for their citizens. It’s time for government leaders to tell them about it,” said Mark Nelson, COO and co-founder of Revelstone. “Local governments can improve communication and engagement with their citizens by showing the value of public tax dollars in terms of public services. We’ve designed Revelstone to help municipalities of all sizes use data analytics to boost their performance with more data-driven and fact-based discussions, which leads to a more efficient and effective government. The Public Performance Dashboard further extends our commitment to bringing the latest technology to municipalities by providing data that is open to the public.”
