Strategic Planning Process Outline
The current Strategic Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in November 2019 and is
currently in effect. The Plan defines the strategic initiatives to be pursued by the Sanitation
District and provides a basis for long-term financial, capital, and operational planning.
During this preparation phase, it has been identified that a review of the Levels of Service, Risk
Register, and Core Values will be evaluated and updated as needed. The process will begin in
January 2021 by initiating discussions with staff and management, there will be small group
meetings, as well as surveys to gather the pertinent information.
Due to the high number of newly appointed OC San Board Members, additional efforts will take
place to establish a foundation with our Board of Directors on the current Strategic Plan and
the policy direction which staff is working from. This foundation will be established through a
high-level introduction at the Board Orientation on February 4, 2021 with specific follow up
informational presentations during February, March, and April.
The process will be facilitated by Vice Chair John Withers, Assistant General Manager Rob
Thompson, Administration Manager Jennifer Cabral, and supporting staff members.
The plan will be finalized and submitted to the Board in November 2021 in time to be
incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget cycle and will remain in place for two-years.
Current policy topics:
1. Budget Control & Fiscal Discipline
2. Asset Management
3. Cybersecurity
4. Property Management
5. Energy Independence
6. Climate and Catastrophic Event
Resiliency
7. Food Waste Treatment
8. Water Reuse
9. Environmental Water Quality,
Stormwater Management and
Urban Runoff
10. Chemical Sustainability
11. Biosolids Management
12. Constituents of Emerging Concern
13. Resilient Staffing
14. Safety and Physical Security
These topics will be reviewed and validated to ensure the policy direction is consistent and/or if
there is a need to be modified and/or replaced with new issues of concern for OC San.
