The NFCRWD Board of Managers have established policies that guide the day-to-day activities of personnel.  Policies are key to the function of the District and lay out the framework for its Managers, staff, and consultants to operate in their duties. 

Policies and procedures are designed to influence and determine all major decisions and actions, and all activities take place within the boundaries set by them. Procedures are the specific methods employed to express policies in action in day-to-day operations of the organization. Together, policies and procedures ensure that a point of view held by the governing body of an organization is translated into steps that result in an outcome compatible with that view.
