This plan <br />has provided staff with a roadmap for delivering quality programs and services over the past <br />five years. During this time, the department completed 65% of the strategic plan’s <br />implementation action plan items and 22% of these items are in progress. <br /> <br />Library and Recreation staff are developing a new five-year strategic plan and are seeking <br />commission feedback on its mission, vision, and values. This plan’s mission, vision, and values <br />should parallel the City’s ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan mission, vision, and values to ensure <br />the department is moving in the same direction as the City. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Receive an Update on the 2019-2024 Library and Recreation Strategic Plan and Provide <br />Feedback on the 2025-2029 Library and Recreation Strategic Plan’s Mission, Vision and <br />Values <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />In 2018 and 2019, the newly integrated Library and Recreation Department developed the <br />2019-2024 Strategic Plan (Strategic Plan). In addition to the Strategic Plan, the department <br />has several other guiding documents, including the Youth Master Plan, Alviso Adobe Strategic <br />Plan, Cultural Arts Plan, and Parks and Recreation Master Plan. <br /> <br />Staff analyzed completion rates for each of these documents to measure the success of <br />previous plans and help inform the development of a new departmental strategic plan. The <br />information below provides a summary of these analyses. <br /> <br />Library and Recreation Strategic Plan <br /> <br />https://www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/assets/your-community/recreation/pleasanton-library- <br />recreation-strategic-plan-2019-2024.pdf <br /> <br />The 2019-2024 Library and Recreation Strategic Plan includes 68 action items. Of those, 44 <br />actions were completed, 15 are in progress, and nine have not started. Of the nine actions not <br />started in the Library and Recreation Strategic Plan, 44% were capital projects that did not <br />have funding; 22% were actions that were overly vague or too broad, and completion could <br />not be measured; and 33% were related to developing new master plan documents. (Master <br />plan documents are expensive, and funding was not available to complete these projects). <br />Page 86 of 102
