RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the design recommendations for the Headquarters Educational Display.
body
BACKGROUND
One of the General Manager's Work Plan goals for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 is to develop a Board-approved design for a hands-on educational display for the outdoor patio area by June 30, 2025.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
* Maintain influential legislative advocacy and a public outreach program
* Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders, and neighboring communities
* Make it easy for people to understand OC San's roles and value to the community
PROBLEM
The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) is a distinguished entity in the water/wastewater industry. The recently completed Headquarters incorporates an engaging educational display in the lobby that showcases the overall function of OC San, our history, service area, and interesting facts. As part of OC San's educational outreach program, a second phase was incorporated to develop a hands-on display that would further illustrate OC San's role in protecting public health and the environment.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
OC San staff has developed several options for the outdoor Headquarters Educational Display, as noted in the General Manager's Work Plan. Staff explored various options, visited similar facilities, and consulted with vendors to create a proposed plan that incorporates a mix of hands-on displays and historical components, which further illustrate OC San's long-term role in the community.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Neglecting to inform the community, local agencies, and area businesses about OC San could lead to insufficient support for our mission, hindering our ability to fulfill our responsibilities effectively.
