Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
TO: ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
VIA: ROGER S. BAILEY, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM: ANN SASAKI, DEPUTY GENERAL MANAGER,.
SUBJECT: FINAL DRAFT FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2016-2018 STRATEGIC PLAN
As a follow up to the March 2016 Administration Committee, District staff met to review
and revise the strategies and initiatives of the FY 2016-2018 Strategic Plan. The
previously adopted Board vision, mission, values, and strategic goals are the framework
for the proposed plan. These goals reflect the challenges the District faces as it strives
to increase service quality and lower the cost of services to its customers. These
challenges include:
• Enhanced customer expectations and public awareness
• Aging infrastructure
• Continued regulatory requirements
• Financial constraints
• Expanded challenges associated with employee recruitment and retention
• Security and emergency response concerns
• Sustainable regional water supply concerns
• Increased focus on resource recovery
The goals, strategies, initiatives, and key success measures in the proposed Strategic
Plan will enable the District to overcome its challenges, accomplish its mission, and
meet the community's needs in the most efficient and cost-effective ways.
When developing this Strategic Plan, the Effective Utility Management (EUM) model
was used as an overarching tool to define attributes to be considered in implementing
practices and procedures to improve operations and move toward continued
sustainability.
The EUM framework was originally developed by the Environmental Protection Agency
and water industry leaders in 2007. The framework is made up of 10 attributes that
provide a succinct indication of where effectively managed utilities should focus and
what they should strive to achieve. The attributes can be viewed as a continuum of, or
set of building blocks for, management improvement opportunities.

Final Draft Fiscal Year 2016-2018 Strategic Plan
In 2015, the EUM Steering Group modified the original attributes to reflect the impact
that shifts in technology, policy, society, and the natural environmental have on both the
day-to-day operations of water sector utilities, and planning efforts on a long-term scale.
Using the EUM framework, senior management identified critical issues facing the
District. The Fiscal Year 2016-2018 Strategic Plan draws upon the work accomplished
under the Fiscal Year 2014-2016 Strategic Plan. Many of the goals and strategies
remain the same, but the initiatives and work activities have been updated. We
continue to optimize operations, streamline processes, and look for opportunities to
implement innovative technology to manage and contain costs.
The updated Strategic Plan continues our commitment to the mission of the District
while anticipating new challenges. The strategies define our plan for achieving our
Goals. The initiatives describe the tasks and actions we will take to accomplish our
strategy and our key success measures describe how we will evaluate our progress.
Two documents have been attached for your review. The first document is the
strategies, initiatives and the key success measures for evaluating progress. As this is
a two year strategic plan, activities that will be completed in the second year,
FY 2017-2018 are identified and noted. Also included in this document are key metrics
associated with each goal. On a quarterly basis, updates on the progress on each goal
and strategy through the fulfillment of the key success measures and the key metrics
will be reported to the Committee. The second document is a summary of the initiatives
and their alignment with the EUM attributes and the District's values.
The proposed strategic goals and initiatives will be incorporated into the revised Budget
Book.
