PURPOSE:
To appropriate $36,800 from District 2 2024 Reserve for Appropriation to Neighborhood Nexus for a District 2 Data Dashboard.
NEED/IMPACT:
District 2 in DeKalb County, led by Commissioner Michelle Long Spears, serves approximately 158,000 residents in 65,800 households as well as 5,429 local businesses. To make informed policy and funding decisions that best serve this diverse and thriving community, actionable data is essential. This data, however, is often disbursed across a variety of locations, making it difficult to understand critical issues and communicate impact. To support District 2’s strategies, Neighborhood Nexus will design and develop a local data tool to visualize key indicators that clarify assets and challenges around priority issues (e.g. demographics, housing, education, and animal welfare, etc.). Additionally, the interface will provide a means to collect community voice around these issues, providing an important feedback loop to community decision-makers.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$36,800 from the District 2 2024 Reserve for Appropriation Account
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
To approve the appropriation of $36,800 from District 2 2024 Reserve for Appropriation to Neighborhood Nexus for a District 2 Data Dashboard and authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute all necessary documents.
