______________________________________________________________________________ Page 8 of 8 An overview of 2020 budget verses actual (unaudited) for both electric and water is provided in the attached summary. Summary The Strategic Plan and the Annual Business Plan are long-term and short-term tools for the commission to use in governing the organization, establishing policy to clearly communicate goals, and helping the commission lead ERMU toward the organizational vision. These tools should evolve with the commission’s needs to effectively evaluate and govern. It is important to annually discuss these tools for their function; separate from the review of the data they contain. The results and progress from the organization’s 2020 initiatives were positive, and it is good to recognize our successes. An important component to organizational health is communication. Communication is critical in all areas of an organization, both external and internal. This includes communication between the commission and management, communication between management and staff, and communication between departments. Specific to communication between the commission and management, does the commission have what they need to govern ERMU to sustainable success? Are these tools providing the information the commission needs to effectively evaluate the organization? Are these tools clearly identifying the areas of highest risk, enabling the commission to effectively monitor, evaluate, and take corrective action when needed? Are these tools providing the information needed for the commission to effectively lead the organization toward our mission and vision? Staff looks for commission discussion regarding the 2020 results and for discussion regarding the effectiveness of the tools used to provide the commission with meaningful and timely information.
