SUMMARY: At its May 20, 2019 meeting the Board adopted 1-year and 3-year strategic planning goals. For the past 10 years the Board has used this biennial process to set goals and monitor progress. Typically, the strategic planning process has been conducted in odd-numbered years as follows:

February Summarize progress to date

March General Manager meets individually with Directors to discuss progress to date and goals for the future. GM also meets with management staff to do same.

April Board discusses goals in open session; Adopts goals

This schedule is consistent with the budget cycle in order to ensure any new initiatives that require funding can be included in the budget draft in May and final in June. This year the Board asked for an update on the goals at the close of the fiscal year because of the close relationship of the General Manager’s performance review and the District’s goals. The District has also embarked on a facilitated strategic planning process to develop future goals, but the in-person strategic planning session has been deferred due to Covid-19 concerns.

RECOMMENDATION: The General Manager recommends that the Board of Directors receive and review the summary attached as Exhibit 8-A.
