Sample Scorecard and Analysis Methads Explanatian The folfawing represents a sampfe scorecard for measuring perFormar�ce under the terms of the Deli�quent Tax Collec�ion Confract. This scorecard attem}ats to quantiijr a firm's effectiveness in twa key areas: collection of delinquent tax dollars and meeting Council Strategic Goals, namely returning proper#ies to the tax roll. Performance Measurement f. - Dollars Collected as Percent of �ollars Turned O�er meas��r�s the basic col[ectian statistic and accounts for 50 �oints af the total 100 available. lt answers the question: How much did the firm collecf out of the total given it? The benchmark wil{ equal the average rate of the most recent 4 or 5 years. The score will equal: Curr�nt Year Rate 1 Benchmark Rate * 50 poir�ts available, or from the example 75% 1 78% "' SQ = 48 points earned Performance Measurements II. — Assisting with Council Strafegic Goals attempts to quant�fy the firm's confributions to revitalizing the City tax base by moving delinquent properties back to the tax roll and accounts for the other 50 poinfs ofi 100 avaifa�le. Two measurements, each worth 25 points, are measured in simp[e terms: A. Properties Forecfosed a� a% of Properties Referred; and B. Days to Foreclose. Measurement A. takes the num�er of properties fioreclosed and compares it to the number referred for foreclosure. The calc��ation is similar to Item I. Above: # Foreclosed 1# Referred * 25 poin#s available, or from the example 41 1 45 �' 25 = 23 po�nts eatned Measureme�t B. is an a#tempt to quantify the s�eed with which property is a�ailable to the City for sale. It makes 120 days the benchmark p�riod for faking property through foreclosure and presenting to fhe City. The average actual days to accomplish this for properties is compared to the benchmark. Next, the days plus or minus the a�erage is given points according to a scale: 120 Days -- Actual Average, or 120 Days -- 90 Day A�erage =+30 Days Scale � 90 days 90 — 100 days 9 01 — 110 c}ays 111 —120 day � 120 days � A e 25 points = 2� points 10 pvints = 0 points -5 points Thus the firm will earn a score or 25 points for Measurement B. The three scares are add�d together (48 + 23 + 20) �o calculate a final score of 9'i out of 100. MWBE Compliance will be repart�d to Council by the Ciiy's MWBE Office. 0 SAMPLE QUARTERL.Y SCORECARD pelinquent Tax Collectiori Scorecard Month: April I. �]allars Coll�cted as Percent nf Dollars Turned O�er Points availabEe 50 Benchmark: Average of Past Years Rates Measurement $ Turned O�er $ 5,040,000 $ Collected $ 3,750,000 Co[lec�ion Rate 75% Actual as % of Benchmark Scare 96% (75°10 divided by 78%} 78% 4$ (96% multiplied b}/ 50 points available) R.
