Body
Issue/Request:
Lee’s Summit Water Utilities created a Strategic Plan in December of 2011. This plan laid out a series of major initiatives which the Utility worked through in accordance with the AWWA Key Attributes to a Successful Utility.
The Water Utilities Department has been updating the key plans and documents which set the course of the Utility for planning over the near, mid, and long terms. This work is done in conjunction with the planning for the City as a whole following the Comprehensive Plan, the Councils Strategic Plan and guidance from the City Administration. Documents created thus far are the SCADA Master Plan, Facilities Asset Master Plan, Level II Water Audit, Wastewater Master Plan, the Water Master Plan (anticipated November completion) and others. These documents where used to support a Utility Assessment based on the American Water Works Key Attributes for a Successful Utility. The data from all of these studies, documents and the assessment will be used to update the of the 2011 Strategic Plan and create a new list of initiatives for the Utility to complete in the coming years.
Key Points:
• A Water Utilities Strategic Plan was created in 2011

• The Utility has been updating all of its long-term planning documents
