Workshop Memorandum No. 19-001 Page 3 of 3

At the strategic planning meeting in March 2018, the Board of Directors identified the following
major initiatives (not in order of priority):

• Direct Potable Reuse - Plan and evaluate the opportunities and constraints related to
implementation of direct potable reuse facilities. This strategic goal will involve the Salinity
and Groundwater Enhancement (SAGE) project at the Wochholz Regional Water
Recycling Facility; the Salinity Concentrate Reduction and Minimization (SCRAM) Project
at the Yucaipa Valley Regional Water Filtration Facility; and may include a new water
filtration facility at the Wochholz Regional Water Recycling Facility. This strategic priority
was established by the Board of Directors on March 8, 2018.

• Indirect Potable Reuse - Plan and evaluate the opportunities and constraints related to
implementation of indirect potable reuse. This strategic goal will involve the recharge of
recycled water at various locations throughout the District’s service area which will also
involve the development of recharge facilities. This strategic priority was established by
the Board of Directors on March 8, 2018.

• Energy Efficiency Projects - Plan and evaluate the opportunities and constraints related
to implementation of solar, microturbines, biogas, and other technologies to stabilize
energy expenses. This strategic goal will likely involve the investigation of innovative
technologies and programs to become more energy efficient. This strategic priority was
established by the Board of Directors on March 8, 2018.

• Consolidation of District Facilities - Plan and evaluate the opportunities and constraints
related to the co-location and consolidation of District offices and work areas to be in close
proximity of existing operational areas. This strategic goal will likely involve the relocation
of the District office on Second Street to an area near the Wochholz Regional Water
Recycling Facility. This strategic priority was established by the Board of Directors on
March 8, 2018.

• Beaumont Basin Recharge Facilities - Plan and evaluate the opportunities and
constraints related to the construction of recharge facilities in the Beaumont Basin to
maximize the operational efficiency of groundwater within the Beaumont adjudication
area. This strategic priority was established by the Board of Directors on March 8, 2018.

• Public Relations and Outreach - Plan and implement a program to gain and enhance
the District’s presence involving:
o Social media;
o Website refresh and upgrades;
o Video clips;
o Summary of the District’s operations;
o Historical information; and
o Near real-time press releases.
This strategic priority was established by the Board of Directors on March 8, 2018.

The purpose of this agenda item is to discuss conducting a strategic meeting workshop on
Tuesday, January 22, 2019 to discuss project linkages, opportunities, and constraints associated
with the implementation of the strategic plan.
