	Department of Public Works Strategic Plan Alignment with County Strategic Plan

The Department of Public Works updated its strategic plan in 2006 with a new vision, mission and values, with goals and objectives. The County of Los Angeles also has an updated strategic plan with a revised vision, values, goals, strategies and objectives. These Strategic Plans are now being implemented so that the County Departments can better serve the residents of Los Angeles County.
