LakewoodAlive introduced the CitiStat concept to residents in a forum in the fall of 2005. CitiStat activity in Lakewood can now be monitored online at the link below. Here is part of recent update on activity from Finance Director, Jennifer Pae:

•Fleet Management Inventory Recovery & Efficiency Gains The Division of Fleet Management has been cataloging and bar coding its parts on hand since January. This has resulted in over 2,000 parts cataloged and valued at approximately $125,480. The Division has also identified obsolete or duplicative parts that have been returned to vendors for over $6,800 in credits. Outfitting of new police vehicles took the Division of Fleet less than 8 weeks in 2007, as compared to over 18 months in 2006. The Division of Fleet Management has also made savings by doing jobs in-house instead of outsourcing including $11,000 saved by installing equipment on the Fire Department Air Cylinder vehicle.
