Body
SUMMARY:
The Board Policy and Monitoring Committee (BPMC) met on June 16, 2026 to review and provide feedback on the Board of Directors’ Work Plan (Work Plan) structure, content, and development process to inform preparation of the Work Plan for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 (FY27). The discussion providing input on the Work Plan has been carried over to this subsequent meeting in July 2026.
Staff also requests the BPMC provide additional clarity and direction on the goals and outcomes of the Strategic Planning Session scheduled on August 28, 2026 to better inform the development of the meeting’s Agenda. During their June 16, 2026 BPMC meeting, the Committee suggested the Strategic Planning Session include discussions around Valley Water’s existing governance model as well as the current Committee structure. A subsequent Strategic Planning Session would focus on the review of the FY27 Board Work Plan.
The Board Work Plan is developed annually to support the Board of Directors (Board) in establishing policy direction, prioritizing key initiatives, and planning its work over the fiscal year. The Work Plan serves as a tool to enhance transparency, improve agenda planning, and align Board and Committee efforts with Valley Water’s strategic priorities.
Following Committee feedback and direction, staff will prepare and refine a draft FY27 Board Work Plan for review and consideration.
