Next Steps

• 1. Assess performance Survey baseline
  data/trends
• 2. Forecast future performance/determine needs
• 3. Assess impact of strategies, programs and
  projects (integrate into project selection)
• 4. Evaluate investment options/analyze future
  conditions and scenarios based on forecast
  conditions and achievement of goals, objectives,
  strategies
• 5. Implement multi-year investment program
• 6. Monitor performance of improvements
• 7. Re-evaluate measures, establish thresholds,
  update strategies
