Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
April 26, 2018
TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
FROM: CHRISTINA GEE, MANAGEMENT ANALYST
REVIEWED BY: ANN SASAKI, DEPUTY GENERAL MANAGER
ROGER S. BAILEY, GENERAL MANAGER
SUBJECT: RECEIVE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR FISCAL YEARS 2018-20
Following its December 11, 2017 workshop, the Board adopted its 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 in the face of challenges such as the
following:
• Enhancing public awareness
• Aging infrastructure
• Regulatory requirements
• Financial constraints
• Employee retirements, retention and recruitment
• Security and emergency response concerns
• Sustainable regional water supply concerns
• Increased focus on resource recovery, efficiencies, optimizations and innovations.
The proposed Strategies define the District's plan to achieve its Goals, overcome its challenges,
accomplish its mission and meet the community's needs in the most efficient and cost-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 show the FY 2016-17 performance for each metric against the FY
2018-20 target.
Each of the District's Strategic Plans has used the Effective Utility Management (EUM) model 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 water industry leaders and the Environmental Protection
April 26, 2018 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 98 of 177
Page 2 of 72
Agency in 2007. It consists of 10 attributes that provide succinct focus areas for 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 upon 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 increasing service quality and lowering the cost of services to the District's customers.
On April 26, 2018, the Administration Committee reviewed the draft Strategic Plan and recommended it be
brought to the full Board for review. Attached are the following:
1. Strategies, Initiatives, Key Success Measures and Key Metrics (strikeout)—This document constitutes
the bulk of the Strategic Plan and reflects the updates made to the FY 2016-18 Strategic Plan, as well as
changes suggested at the Administration Committee meeting.
2. Initiatives Aligned with the EUM Attributes and the District's Values (strikeout)—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

Strategic Plan.
