Board reviews draft goals and objectives for strategic priorities, flags several items for committee follow-up
Summary
Directors debated detailed goals and objectives tied to eight strategic priorities, asked the strategic planning committee to review definitions and committee charters, and flagged items (notably the 'new' wastewater treatment plant wording and consolidation/reorganization language) for revision before final adoption.
Staff presented draft goals and objectives meant to feed a five-year strategic plan and a work plan that will assign timelines, responsibilities and measurements. General Manager Weigel explained that the attachment reflects eight priorities adopted in February and that the document now before the board contains lettered goals and objectives for each priority.
Directors asked for clearer definitions and committee involvement: one director said the strategic planning committee received the document at the same time as the board and was not prepared to endorse it. Concerns centered on wording such as "new wastewater treatment plant" (directors asked to avoid committing to a full replacement without the investment‑grade audit) and on the use of the term "consolidation" in item 3. Several directors requested staff add statutory references, expand explanations in the packet, and return with committee input before adopting the full work plan. "What staff did was, draft, goals and objectives for the board to consider approving today," General Manager Weigel said during the presentation.
