Background and Approach Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Alviso Adobe Community Park Strategic Plan April 2015 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Alviso Adobe Community Park Strategic Planning Task Force <br />In July 2014, the Pleasanton City Council approved the formation of a nine- <br />member Alviso Adobe Community Park Strategic Planning Task Force to <br />assist the City with the development of a strategic plan. The purpose of the <br />Task Force was to provide guidance and direction for the future of the Alviso <br />Adobe Community Park. The names of each Task Force member and their <br />affiliations can be found in Attachment A. <br /> <br />During the strategic planning process, the Task Force held four meetings and <br />an informational session during which City staff provided supplementary <br />information on how the Austin and Castleridge properties may impact the <br />future of the park. <br /> <br />Environmental Scan <br />To inform the process, an environmental scan was produced by the City of <br />Pleasanton that summarized the history of the Alviso Adobe Community <br />Park, along with contextual information on its budget, staffing, programs, <br />and partnerships. <br /> <br />Community Meetings <br />Two community meetings were held to hear the community’s vision for the <br />Alviso Adobe Community Park. Participants were asked what they liked best <br />about the park, what changes they would like to see, and what words or <br />phrases best described the park. <br /> <br />Employee Meeting <br />Thirteen City staff members associated with the park and its programs <br />participated in a facilitated SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, <br />threats) exercise through which perspectives about the park were collected. <br /> <br />Online User Survey <br />To inform the development of the strategic plan, City staff developed an <br />online survey that gave park users an opportunity to provide feedback about <br />the current use of the park and their vision for its future. <br /> <br />The survey was sent to over 1,000 email addresses, announced through <br />multiple social media posts, listed in e-newsletters with distribution lists of <br />over 1,500 email subscribers and posted on the City’s website. A press release <br />was also issued and an announcement about the survey ran in all local <br />newspapers. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />9 Strategic Planning Task <br />Force members participated <br /> <br />425 Park users responded <br />to the online survey <br /> <br />2 Community meetings <br />were conducted <br /> <br />13 City employees <br />participated in an employee <br />meeting <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
