ITEM 5

MPWMD April 1, 2013 Strategic Planning Workshop

MPWMD Vision Statement

A Vision Statement should be a vivid, descriptive image of the future – what the organization will BECOME. Contrary to the Mission Statement, the District’s Vision Statement has changed through the years. The Board needs to decide if we need a Vision Statement and if so, what elements should it reflect?

1997 – 2000:

By the year 2005, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District will ensure a reliable water supply to meet present and future needs and be recognized as a leader in integrated water resource management.

2004 – 2007:

The MPWMD:

(1) Will strive to serve as a catalyst in collaboration with public and private entities for environmentally responsible solutions that result in a reliable and legal water supply; and

(2) Shall be a fiscally responsible, professionally and publicly respected leader in managing water resources.

2008 – Today:

No Vision Statement adopted. However, the Vision Statement appears in our annual budget document unchanged from 2007.
