VALUES GUIDING FUTURE ACTION Several broad, overarching values were identified through proactive conversations with a range of stakeholders. These values are core to not only the process for developing the CWP but also to the resulting targets, strategies, and actions. Although these values are not explicitly referenced within every target, strategy, and action, they are fundamental to the plan as a whole and will continue to guide the actions taken through CWP implementation. These values are further described in Appendix D.
PLAN DEVELOPMENT VALUES
PLAN IMPLEMENTATION VALUES
• Consider equitable benefits and impacts of water resource management decisions
• Ensure CWP is actionable and adaptable
• Ensure inclusive, diverse, multigenerational, and sustained community engagement
• Establish clear communications (outline priorities, listen, incorporate feedback, maintain dialogue)
• Use data to inform policies, priorities, and practices
• Increase local water supplies and redundancies
• Encouraging multi-benefit projects, green infrastructure, and nature-based solutions
• Increase stormwater capture and storage
• Promote capacity building of a local skilled workforce • Incorporate tribal knowledge into water management
• Address climate resiliency
• Prepare communities for emergencies (wildfire) • Develop a water supply contingency plan to suppress wildfires and evaluate wildfire impacts on water quality • Implement vegetated/nature-based solutions
