efforts and resources. The audit included: the Cultural Arts Plan, General Plan, Human Services Needs Assessment, Youth Master Plan, School performance reports and Alameda County health reports. Using the information collected from the public outreach process, the YMPIC developed, reviewed and approved the Vision, Values, and Goals for the Updated Pleasanton Youth Master Plan. On March 8, 2010, the YMPIC completed Phase II of the project and approved staff's recommendation to work with MIG to transition to Phase III and develop the Draft Pleasanton Youth Master Plan. Phase III: Draft Pleasanton Youth Master Plan Document The YMPIC first received and reviewed the Draft Youth Master Plan at its April 12, 2010 meeting. Members provided input to ensure revisions were made before the community review period. Between April and May, the Draft Pleasanton Youth Master Plan was made available on -line on the City's website and enabled members of the public to submit questions or comments by email or by phone. No comments were received during the community review period. This report contains the Draft Youth Master Plan that was approved by the YMPIC on May 10, 2010 (Attachment 1). Draft Youth Master Plan Challenges, Goals and Strategies The Master Plan is comprised of five chapters (36 pages) and several appendices providing detailed information and findings complied through research and community input (surveys, workshop and focus groups). These chapters are the heart of the document and provide an overview of current conditions, goals and strategies, implementation and progress indicators for the Youth Master Plan. In completing the phases outlined above, MIG and Youth Master Plan Implementation Committee members discovered a series of challenges and opportunities for Pleasanton youth. This information was used to affirm the existing vision statement, develop goals, strategies and partnership opportunities (Master Plan, Appendix H). The Master Plan process informed the YMPIC that Pleasanton has a strong sense of community, high quality of life and high achieving, civic minded citizens. Residents value the many community assets available. Despite the many amenities in the community, youth and adults shared that they face challenges that include over programmed youth, healthy youth, access to places/ spaces and information. In summary, the Pleasanton Youth Master Plan is comprised of six goals. The goals which can be implemented over time and with the help of multiple partnerships are broad, aim to address the challenges identified by community members. Paired with detailed strategies the Master Plan is a guiding document for the City Council and School Board of Trustees. City and School District staff will partner with the YMPIC and the Youth Commission to develop an implementation work plan that supports the following Master Plan Goals: Prepared Youth: Children and youth are equipped with age- appropriate social, emotional, and educational skills and tools to manage the transition through their childhood and teen years into responsible young adulthood.
