Board frames six goals for interim GM, including permit compliance and redomiciling of QUIC

Chair Katherine Harrington presented six draft goals at the Jan. 8 roundtable to document expectations for the interim general manager and the board's oversight. The goals are intended to be adopted via the consent agenda after refinement.

Harrington said the goals include: (1) ensuring 24/7 operational delivery and permit compliance while preparing for future permits; (2) supporting the national search for a permanent general manager; (3) clarifying the performance excellence/road‑map approach; (4) closing out the R&O rebuilding‑trust work and following through on action items; (5) continuing executive staff management and onboarding; and (6) completing the redomiciling of an entity referenced in the meeting as "QUIC" or "Quick." She emphasized the purpose is to set clear six‑month goals for the interim role and to provide a professional framework for evaluating performance.

"I am committed as the chair of this board to ensure that we do our job in ensuring that you have a positive professional performance opportunity in that interim role," Harrington said. Board members discussed timelines and noted not all goals have fixed end dates; several items (for example, IGAs and permit compliance) are ongoing responsibilities that the interim GM must maintain.

The board agreed to document the goals and return them for formal action on the consent agenda; no formal vote was recorded during the roundtable.
