Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
March 6, 2018
TO: ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
FROM: CHRISTINA GEE, MANAGEMENT ANALYST
REVIEWED BY: ANN SASAKI, DEPUTY GENERAL MANAGER
ROGER S. BAILEY, GENERAL MANAGER
SUBJECT: REVIEW DRAFT STRATEGIC PLAN FOR FISCAL YEARS (FY) 2018-20
Following its December 11, 2017 workshop, the Board adopted the District's revised Vision, Mission,
Values and Goals at its January 4, 2018 meeting. These changes were made to better reflect the District's
commitment to work effectively and efficiently and to provide a safe and healthful environment for its
employees.
With this updated framework in place, Managers and key staff met on January 9, 2018 to revise the
strategies and initiatives of the current Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years (FY) 2016-2018. The draft FY 2018-
20 Strategic Plan incorporates updates to the District's approach to address its challenges, including:
• Enhancing public awareness
• Aging infrastructure
• Regulatory requirements
• Financial constraints
• Employee retirements, retention and recruitment
• Security and emergency response
• Increased focus on resource recovery, efficiencies, optimizations and innovations.
The Strategies outline the District's approach to achieve its Goals, overcome its challenges, accomplish
its mission and meet the community's needs in the most efficient and effective ways. The Initiatives
describe the actions staff will take, and the Key Success Measures delineate the tasks to fulfill those
Initiatives. The Key Metrics set targets, track progress and evaluate performance. In this Strategic Plan, a
column has been added to compare the FY 2016-17 performance for each metric against the FY 2018-20
target.
Each Strategic Plan has used the Effective Utility Management (EUM) model as a 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 in 2007 by the American Water Works Association
(AWWA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and nine other association partners representing
the U.S. water and wastewater sector. It consists of 10 attributes that provide succinct focus areas for
March 6, 2018 Regular ADMIN Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 13 of 58
Page 2 of 28
effectively managed utilities and what they should strive to achieve. These attributes can be viewed as a
continuum of, or a set of building blocks for, management improvement opportunities. Using this
framework, senior management identified key issues facing the District to address in each Strategic Plan.
The FY 2018-20 Strategic Plan draws from the work accomplished under the FY 2014-16 and 2016-18
Strategic Plans. Many of the goals and strategies remain the same; however, the initiatives and work
activities have been updated to reflect current statuses and priorities. Staff continues to optimize
operations, streamline processes and identify opportunities to implement innovative technology to manage
and contain costs, with the ultimate goal of improving service quality and minimizing the cost of services to
the District's customers.
Attached for your review are two documents:
1. Strategies, Initiatives, Key Success Measures and Key Metrics — This document constitutes the
bulk of the Strategic Plan. On a quarterly basis, the Committee will be given updates on the progress of
each goal and strategy through the fulfillment of the key success measures and metrics.
2. Initiatives Aligned with the EUM Attributes and the District's Values — This chart will appear at
the end of the Strategic Plan in its final form. It demonstrates how each Initiative serves the EUM and the
District's core Values.
When completed, the Initiatives and Key Metrics will be incorporated into the FY 2018-19 Budget.
Staff will be available at the meeting to answer any questions and collect feedback from the Committee.
