Analysis
This ordinance clarifies annual reporting requirements for the health department and the office of violence prevention. The commissioner of health shall provide an annual report in the first 6 months of each calendar year of the health department’s impact on health-related issues to the mayor and the common council. The report shall include an analysis of the quantifiable impact the actions of the health department have had on the trends of the health-related issues in the preceding year, including an analysis of how specific health department actions contributed to measurable changes in the status of the health-related issues in the city.
The commissioner of health shall also provide an annual report in the first 6 months of each calendar year of the office of violence prevention’s impact on violence in the city to the mayor and the common council. The report shall include an analysis of the quantifiable impact the actions of the office of violence prevention have had on the trends of the violence-related health issues in the preceding year, including an analysis of how specific office of violence prevention actions contributed to measurable changes in the status of the violence-related health issues.

1. Be presented to the appropriate common council committee in the first 6 months of each calendar year.
2. Include a description of metrics for measuring the success of the grant operation in relation to the grant’s goals and objectives in addressing health-related issues.
