· Desired objectives/programs where consensus has not yet been achieved on the scope or best strategy for implementation. · Goals and objectives that may seek to change or influence cultural, economic, or societal patterns that are deeply entrenched. The Plan does not seek to prioritize its goals and objectives, leaving that task to the implementation phase. Actual assessment as to the current level of public interest, feasibility, ease of implamentation, and cost and potential funding source of each goal and objective will need to be made during the implementation phase of the process. Implementation The key to the Plan's success will be in its wise and methodical implementation. The Youth Master Plan should be viewed as a guide for further identification, evaluation, prioritization and possible implementation of the various themes, goals and objectives. This viewpoint was underscored recently at California Park and Recreation Society Institute on Youth Development Plans held in Sacramento. This statewide symposium featured administrators from Claremont, California; Encinitas, California; and Hampton, Virginia. Each city has received widespread recognition as a pioneer in the development of youth master plans, and emphasized the implementation phase as the key determiner for success of any youth master plan process. The Implementation Plan for the Youth Master Plan of Pleasanton contains two (2) main components: Communication and Coordination. Conll'nuniea ~tjgn (p. 44 of the Plan) - A series of objectives call for a comprehensive effort to entice the community,s awareness of youth related activities and programs. Establishing directories, media partnerships, information centers and other efforts are potential methods to "get the word out." Coordination and good communication among all youth related agencies are also important to the implementation of the Plan. The Plan recommends that a communications professional and administrative assistant be retained to effect and facilitate these communicatioti efforts and the actual implementation of the Plan. Staff estimates these costs to be approximately $56,000 annually, and an ongoing'commitment of funds would need to be established. Coordination (p.48 of the Plan) - The Implementation Plan calls for the establishment of a Youth Master Plan Implementation Group, and corresponding process to implement elements of the Plan. · The City Council and PUSD Board of Trustees shall approve the Youth Master Plan of Pleasanton.
