Title

Addition to the Board of Public Utilities Policy and Procedures Manual to Formally Add Adopted Strategic Initiatives as an Appendix Item

Recommended Action

I move that the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) adopt a change to the Los Alamos County Board of Public Utilities Policy and Procedures Manual that will be added as Section 4.8 and titled “Strategic Initiative”.  The text shall read as follows: In order to maintain control of strategic initiatives, the BPU shall formally add strategic Initiatives that have been adopted and approved by the BPU to the PPM in the appendix under a separate file titled “Strategic Initiatives of the BPU”.  These initiatives can be altered or removed from the PPM with a simple majority vote.  If an initiative is removed it is no longer considered a formal strategic initiative of the BPU.  Any member of the BPU can add to the agenda a business item to consider removal or alteration of a strategic initiative in the section.

Staff Recommendation

Body

This addition to the BPU PPM will provide a living forum to maintain all policy initiatives adopted by the BPU.  It is important to retain these initiatives so future Boards can make sure they are adhered to and followed or formally removed as an initiative by the BPU as they are no longer considered important to the operation of the DPU.

Alternatives

BPU could reject this motion and maintain the PPM as currently written
