The challenges of meeting ever-changing state and federal regulations, escalating operations and maintenance costs and capital planning requirements needed for continuous growth and economic development of our community, require a well-planned, effective utilities service strategy.

• Provide for infrastructure to serve the 2025 General Plan
• Deploy effective work management tools to enhance our operational efficiencies
• Performance assessment and best practice review of primary operating divisions
• Ongoing implementation of our departmental and divisional Strategic Business Plans
• Continue to increase solid waste recycling
• Put in place short-term and long-term funding strategies to pay for our utility services and infrastructure
