MONTHLY REPORTING
There’s no required monthly reporting for cities.
The only information they need to submit is your initial medal status survey (Your first step after signing up).
You may take as long as needed to submit this survey, and your answers are what we use to determine if they qualify for any medals.
Cities are then asked to update this survey on a quarterly basis if they have made progress on the five goals, but it is not required at all.
