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 inclusive, diverse, multigenerational, and sustained community engagement • Use data to inform policies, priorities, and practices • Encouraging multi-benefit projects, green infrastructure, and nature-based solutions • Promote capacity building of a local skilled workforce • Incorporate tribal knowledge into water management • Ensure CWP is actionable and adaptable • Address climate resiliency • Establish clear communications (outline priorities, listen, incorporate feedback, maintain dialogue) • Increase local water supplies and redundancies

• Increase stormwater capture and storage • 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
