District Leadership Phillip R. Goodrich Chairman of the Board James Morales, Jr. Vice Chairman of the Board PAGE i DR A F T Introduction East Valley Water District has set out to be a world class organization, with a focus not only on providing safe and reliable drinking water but enhancing and preserving the quality of life for our community. The Governing Board, staff, and the community have developed a District vision that empowers the organization to take actions to be innovative, efficient, and effective. Carrying out this vision requires a commitment to being a performance-based organization, valuing results. Given the high expectation of the District, it is important to communicate the nature of key projects, including the required planning steps, environmental awareness, and clear prioritization to allow for on-going daily operations, while addressing specific long-term needs. PAGE 1 HISTORY The District began Strategic Planning efforts in 2012 with the identification of key projects and staffing adjustments. From that point, the District has enhanced these efforts to include development of the District Vision, Core Values, along with the Goals and Objectives. To connect these elements in a manner that not only guides day-to-day decision making, but also long-term planning, the Five-Year Work Plan was developed in 2018. The Five-Year Work Plan is a document designed to identify and organize projects and programs in a manner that provides a comprehensive understanding of the organizational direction spanning multiple years. Updated annually, the document reflects the recent accomplishments and adds one additional year, keeping the planning effort focused five years out. The Five-Year Work Plan is the guiding document for the development of the Districtwide Goals and the Budget connecting actionable performance goals for individual employees. PURPOSE The purpose of the Five-Year Work Plan is to facilitate collaboration and prioritization beyond the current budget cycle. Key considerations include known planning cycles, regulatory guidelines, budgeting, projects that will require phasing over a number of years, and other critical actions necessary to continue supporting the District Vision. This process aids with resource allocation and planning, including funding, staffing, professional services, and capital improvement construction. It is important to note that while planning efforts are critical to maintaining the high standards of the organization, it is essential that on-going operations are valued and appreciated along with the ability to respond to external factors not originally factored into the plan. The District anticipates a high level of activity throughout the organization for the foreseeable future. To streamline the implementation of the plan, the review of the Five-Year Work Plan kicks off the annual budget process beginning with Districtwide goals. This series of activities guides the policy and approach to the Budget development, including resource allocation and Individual Performance Goals. Maintaining a Five-Year Work Plan is designed to provide general policy direction and highlight priority projects that fosters the prioritization and development of tasks necessary for implementation beyond the annual budget cycle. DR A F T FIVE-YEAR WORK PLAN | PAGE 2 Workflow Strategic planning efforts are dynamic. They are designed to allow the organization to prepare for large efforts in future years while addressing daily needs. STRATEGIC PLANNING WORKFLOW The elements identified below maintain a cycle of growth and organizational development. This process is intended to foster communication throughout the organization along with community stakeholders and residents. By visualizing the interconnected nature of District activity, staff has a clear understanding of their role in the organization and how each element contributes to the greater good. The timing of these measures can be organized by on-going, annual, intermediate, and long-term. STRATEGIC PLAN Guiding Principles As part of the District’s Strategic Plan, a set of guiding principles have been established to provide a consistent direction to East Valley Water District. These principles include the District Vision, Core Values, and Goals and Objectives and are set to ensure long-term consistency and continuity of service. District Vision Enhance and preserve the quality of life for our community through innovative leadership and world class public service. Core Values Guides the overall decision making at all levels. This element of the planning process experiences minimal changes over time and serves as a “home base” for all other activities. •Leadership: Motivating a group of people to act toward achieving a common goal or destination. •Partnership: Developing relationships between a wide range of groups and individuals through collaboration and shared responsibility. •Stewardship: Embracing the responsibility of enhancing and protecting resources considered worth caring for and preserving.

BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS In 2020, the world began experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic. Since that time, the community has seen the various regulatory bodies implement a wide array of response measures, ranging from public health guidelines to temporary economic assistance efforts. With the economic impacts of business shut-downs during the Stay-at-Home Order, Governor Newsom issued an executive order implementing a statewide utility shut-off moratorium that stayed in place from March 2020 until December 2021. As a rate-based organization, the District continuously monitored the past due balances and the impact of non-payment on operations. Fortunately, the District operates as a world-class organization, and was able to maintain operations through temporary project re-prioritization. Additionally, staff worked closely with ACWA, CMUA, and the legislature to develop a statewide funding assistance program to reduce the delinquent balances without causing financial hardship on customers. East Valley Water District continues to work closely with the County of San Bernardino to participate in the San Bernardino County Rent Relief Partnership, which was expanded on June 15, 2021, to include household utilities. This program aims to assist disadvantaged community members and requires interested households to submit an application for eligibility determination. To date, the program has assisted fourteen customer accounts, issuing payments for almost $12,5000 of past due balances. On a larger scale, East Valley Water District participated in the California Water and Wastewater Arrearage Payment Program. Administered by the State Water Resource Control Board, this program provided COVID-19 relief funding to all residential and commercial customers with water arrearages accrued between March 4, 2020 and June 15, 2021. The program initially focused on prioritizing water payments with an expansion of the program to cover wastewater arrearages set to occur in early 2022. Through the program, the District applied to assist 1,270 customers offsetting the total water past due balance of over $515,000. Once the funding was received, customers Agenda Item #4b January 26, 20222 2 8 7 Meeting Date: January 26, 2022 Agenda Item #4b Informational Item were notified of the automatic credit and provided payment plan options to address remaining balances outside of the eligible window. While this program has conditions that the District must comply with, it provides a much greater benefit to the community as-a-whole by automatically crediting account balances from that period. This avoids the potential of customers missing this opportunity and recognizes that customers of all income levels may have been financially impacted by the Stay-at-Home order. Given that the California disconnection moratorium expired on January 1, 2022, staff continues to educate customers on the resources available to them while also ensuring the District receives payment for services that have been provided. With disconnections expected to resume in the coming months, the District will continue to reach out to customers in an effort to share the payment accommodations options which are in line with state guidelines and funding conditions of the California Water and Wastewater Arrearage Payment Program. East Valley Water District continues to participate in the county program and the California Water and Wastewater Arrearage Payment Program to provide customers COVID-19 financial assistance. District operations are funded through water and wastewater rates, and have been developed to reflect the cost of providing services. Ensuring reliable rate revenue is essential to long-term operational stability and continued world class public service.
