RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2021-17, Updating District Code Title 1, for the Mission Statement and Goals
of the District.
DISCUSSION:
In August of 2020, the District embarked on creating an updated Strategic Plan. Building on the
District's mission statement and fundamental value system to create an innovative positive
culture that fosters a high performing team of individuals, the Board approved a contract with
Pamela Hurt Associates that kicked off a nine month process to create a visionary strategic
plan.
The District, with participation from all levels of staff, conducted "Paint the Landscape" meetings
with a strong focus on evaluating core business models and efficiencies and identifying future
opportunities in bringing the District to the next level. The Board defined the strategic pillars
consisting of Community, Board of Directors, Executive Leadership Team, and Employees.
Public outreach was conducted in the form of a community survey to receive valuable feedback
on the future of the District and the needs of our community. Benchmarking with public utility
partners provided in-depth understanding of future challenges. By May of 2021, the Board of
Directors set the future goals of the District and established an updated Mission Statement.
To true up the Strategic Plan 2021-2024 with District Code, two items need updating. The

Mission Statement, Code Section 1.05.010 Missions Statement:
The Mission of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District is to provide reliable,
high quality utility and customer services while managing the District's resources
in a safe, open, responsible, and environmentally sound manner at the lowest
practical cost.
The District's objectives are presented in District Code as:

5. Manage the District in an environmentally sound manner

These objectives remain consistent as a bridge between the Mission Statement and the goals of
the District. A key component in the strategic planning process was the development of the
Board's goals. Goals, long-term and short-term that clearly define strategies. Project plans and
initiatives will create inclusivity, vision, and accountability while maintaining the integrity of the
Mission Statement and supporting the values.
The Goals set in the Strategic Plan 2021-2024 are:
