The eight measures here represent key data about Bellevue's
performance serving the Safe Community budget outcome. Some are resident
responses to the annual Performance Measures survey. Most measures are annual. Operational data come with targets or thresholds, illustrated by green lines.
In some cases, the city aims to provide services that meet or exceed
the target. In other cases, staying below the green line indicates
quality service. Targets are assessed regularly and are based on
previous experiences and future expectations.
As a community, Bellevue values:
- Feeling and being safe where people live, learn, work and play.
- A community that is prepared for and responds to emergencies.
