Utilities Manager Recommendation
The Utilities Manager and staff recommend approval of the Mission, Vision and Values statements and the FY2026 Strategic Goals and Objectives as presented in attachment C.
Body
The Utilities Manager is expected to annually develop strategic goals and objectives, and present them to the Board for approval. At a special meeting on September 4, 2024, the Board was asked to provide input and update the Department’s strategic goals and objectives. This annual effort ensures alignment of focus areas, strategic goals and objectives while considering County Council’s priorities in their 2024 Strategic Leadership Plan. The changes suggested by the Board are summarized in attachments A and B for continued discussion and approval if necessary. Once approved by BPU, DPU senior staff will then schedule their annual strategic planning meeting. The Board's direction and input will be used for the Department’s action planning and budget preparations for FY2026.
