SUMMARY: On January 21, 2022 the District Board conducted a special meeting where strategic goals were discussed.  Near-term and long-term objectives were developed.  They were adopted at a regular meeting February 24, 2022. The previous year, the Board undertook a facilitated process with two special workshops in March, followed by adoption in April.

 

For 2023, the Board met on March 31st in a workshop setting at Asilomar conference center, facilitated by the General Manager, General Counsel, and the Board Clerk. Four members of the public attended.

 

The Board undertook the following:

 

·         Reviewed the goal-setting process; Definitions of “goal” v “objective”; Reviewed the “SMART” criteria for objectives (“SMART”: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time)

 

·         Summarized recent year goals

 

·         Directors anonymously identified “Top 3” goals for calendar year, “Top 2” longer-term goals; Results were compiled and posted.

 

·         Discussion ensued – Key Questions:

a.       Do we think similarly or are there differences?

b.      What’s missing? Too many?

c.       What should be long-term versus near-term?

d.      Can we rank priority?

 

·         Objectives were developed making sure there is no duplication of goals and objectives; objectives are clear and meet the SMART criteria; and objectives are properly aligned with goals.

·         The Directors agree to goals for the District to focus on; Directors agreed to objectives under each goal that are appropriate and have realistic timelines.

 

·         The General Manager was asked to clean up the list of agreed upon goals and objectives and prepare an exhibit for subsequent Board adoption.

 

Exhibit 12-A summarizes the recommended Strategic Goals and Objectives for 2023.

 

RECOMMENDATION:  The Board will consider adopting the District’s Strategic Goals and Objectives for 2023.
