This came to the chamber from the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services.  

Dear Lents Project Team and Interested Parties,

BES has their draft 10-year strategic plan out for comment until the end of the month.  

The Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) is in the final phase of completing a new Strategic Plan, which provides a framework to guide us as we make decisions and develop our programs and budgets during the next decade.

The final draft Strategic Plan is available for review here: www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/article/659395. 

You can share feedback on the final draft online here: www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/75136. 

As you review the plan, keep in mind that this document is the beginning of an ongoing conversation with employees and stakeholders about how BES can best protect public health and the environment as we work together to create a more sustainable future for the community we serve.

We intend for this plan to be a living document that will continue to improve as we improve over time.

The review period for the final draft will end on October 30 at 5 p.m. 

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to the development of this plan. 

Your time, efforts and partnership are much appreciated!  Please reach out to dawn.uchiyama@portlandoregon.gov with any questions.
