Municipal Services KPI Scorecard In Google Sheets

🔑 Key Features of Municipal Services KPI Scorecard In Google Sheets

The Municipal Services KPI Scorecard in Google Sheets includes 4 dedicated worksheets: Scorecard, KPI Trend, Input Data, and KPI Definition. It tracks 15+ pre-built KPIs including waste collection efficiency, water quality compliance, streetlight uptime, emergency response time, road maintenance completion rate, revenue collection rate, citizen satisfaction score, and public safety metrics.

Each KPI is classified as “Upper the Better” or “Lower the Better” to ensure correct benchmarking. The scorecard uses conditional formatting with traffic-light color coding — green for on-track, red for below-target — so managers identify underperforming areas at a glance. Dropdown menus let you toggle between any month and switch between MTD and YTD views without modifying formulas.

The KPI Trend sheet generates visual charts comparing Actual vs Target vs Prior Year data for any selected metric. This year-over-year trend analysis is commonly requested by city councils and oversight boards when reviewing quarterly performance reports.

Because this template runs in Google Sheets, multiple team members across departments can access and update data simultaneously from any device — no desktop installation needed.
