In November 2013, the Board of Directors adopted a Five-Year Strategic Plan. Over the past five years, the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) has provided annual updates to the Board. In 2018, the Sanitation District completed the five-year plan.
This year an in-depth planning process took place to facilitate the development of a new Strategic Plan. The new Strategic Plan will be a long-term view and will be a living document that will be updated every two years. This plan incorporates input from more narrow planning studies such as the Master Plan, Biosolids Master Plan, Asset Management Plan, and others.
In April 2019 staff provided the Board of Directors with a proposed process and timeline for development of the new plan. In May 2019 the Board of Directors received a survey outlining the various policy areas to be further developed by staff. Staff input was solicited in June 2019. Based on the feedback from the Board of Directors and staff, policy papers were developed for each of the 14 policy areas. The individual policy areas were presented at three Board of Directors meetings held on August 28, September 18, and September 25.
The final Strategic Plan includes the 14 policy statements in final form and supporting initiatives to implement these policies.
