Utilities Manager Recommendation
The Utilities Manager and staff recommend approval of the Mission, Vision, and Values statements and the FY2028 Strategic Goals and Objectives as presented in Attachment A.
Body
The Utilities Manager is expected to annually develop strategic goals and objectives and present them to the Board for approval. At a special BPU meeting on August 26, 2026, and the work session on September 2, 2026, the Board was asked to provide input on the department’s strategic goals and objectives. The major effort this year was to divide the objectives into ongoing and measurable. This annual effort ensures alignment of focus areas, strategic goals and objectives. The Board's direction and input will be used for the Department’s action planning and budget preparations for FY2028.
The clean version in Attachment A reflects the changes made on September 2, 2026.
Also, attached is the Post Strategic Planning Survey Results for review.
Alternatives
The Board may approve the documents as presented, suggest additional revisions, and/or postpone approval for a future meeting.
