Board begins formal strategic planning and proposes U.S.-made equipment preference
Summary
Chair circulated a draft mission and strategic plan adapted from county code that would guide capital planning and procurement, including a proposed preference for equipment built in the U.S. or NATO-allied countries for supply and security reasons.
Chair presented a draft mission and strategic-plan document that would define the district's purpose and offer a roadmap for capital planning, procurement and long-term staffing. "The mission of the Elko television district is to acquire and maintain television facilities, which provides television signals to residents of the district," he read from the draft.
Board members discussed using the document to move from ad-hoc decisions toward a policy-oriented approach, including setting capital reserves and clarifying procurement standards. One suggested procurement principle was to prefer equipment made in the U.S. or NATO-allied countries to reduce supply-chain and security risks; board members supported the idea in principle and were asked to provide written suggestions to staff within 30 days.
