Water and Sewer Master PlanningThe Strategic Infrastructure Planning Division con-tinued its efforts, started in 2010, in leading the ef-fort to develop the Gwinnett County Water and Wastewater Master Plan. This plan, required by the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning Dis-trict, will recommend future water and wastewa-ter infrastructure (pipelines, pump stations, plants, etc.) that will be necessary to serve our citizens as growth occurs over the next 30 years. The plan will be fully aligned with the 2030 Unified Plan, being based on the population and employment projec-tions developed in that plan. It will be implemented using water and wastewater flow triggers in order to ensure the most effective and efficient use of funds to design and construct infrastructure as it is needed. The Master Plan completion is projected in 2012.
Unified Development Code and Sector Plan Request for ProposalGwinnett County’s Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) will formalize the community’s vision for future development, which was captured in the 2030 Unified Plan. The UDO will update, streamline, and combine the County’s existing zoning resolution, development regulations, and other related ordinances into one integrated code document that will embrace the new image, goals, and policies of the 2030 Unified Plan. By doing so, the UDO will help ensure that future development in the county is consistent with the community’s vision. A central goal of the UDO is to create a final product that is easily understood by the public, the development community, and Gwinnett County officials.
Planning and Development Study CommitteeIn an effort to help maintain the department’s current levels of service, in January 2011 the Board of Commissioners estab-lished the Planning and Development Study Committee. This committee was comprised of Board appointees to evaluate the department’s current operations and to recommended potential modifications that the department could make to maintain current service levels in light of recent and ongoing resource challenges. Committee recommendations will be included on the department’s 2012 Balanced Scorecard to track implementation.
Vacant Structure RegistryIn an effort to assist the neighborhoods in Gwinnett with various Property Maintenance issues associated with vacant or abandoned structures, the department, in collaboration with the Code Enforcement Unit, established a vacant structure registration process where the owner and/or a responsible party must register a vacant building to assist the neighborhood and the County in addressing the various property maintenance issues that will serve to help maintain the quality of life within these neighborhoods.

Gwinnett County’s final update on Engage Gwinnett recommendations
On August 15, 2012, Gwinnett County released a final update to the recommendations made by both Engage Gwinnett and its technology-focused offshoot, the Excellence Though Innovation Task Force. Although formal reporting is ending, the valuable contributions by these citizens and their ideas will live on.
By the time of the final report, Gwinnett County had taken action on approximately three-quarters of the recommenda-tions made by Engage Gwinnett and pledged that progress will continue on the remaining recommendations. Those actions reduced annual spending by millions of dollars and created new sources of income for county government, offsetting declin-ing tax revenues.
Another significant result of Engage Gwinnett was a follow-up review of the County’s computer systems, policies, and processes conducted by a group of outside volunteers with relevant knowledge and experience. The Excellence Through Innovation recommendations were aimed at maximizing efficiency and prioritizing long-term information technology goals. The County had accepted and acted on approximately one-third of those suggestions by the publication of the final report; progress will continue on the remaining recommendations.
Together, these two teams of citizen volunteers had a significant impact on County operations and finances. They donated countless hours of valuable time and brought a variety of outside perspectives and priorities to the table. Yet again, the Gwinnett County community pulled together to weather a perfect storm of global recession and falling tax revenues with a steadily growing population and increased needs for services.
For many years to come, we will continue to feel the impact of budget cuts resulting from these recommendations. Gwin-nett is now on a more sustainable path of less costly and increasingly efficient government that provides a firm foundation for future growth of our local economy.
This was a very challenging and time-consuming process, and the Board of Commissioners has expressed deep appreciation for the support of everyone involved.
