City of Pleasanton 2018-2022 Strategic Plan—Human Services Needs Assessment Organizational Priorities Organizational priorities are those that strengthen the organization internally and ensure that commissioners are productive,effective, informed,and competent to meet the organization's programmatic goals and mission. During the June 6, 2018 meeting, members of the Pleasanton Human Services Commission participated in an in depth discussion in which they identified their organizational priorities below. ❖ Continue to foster and strengthen working partnerships with regional, Livermore and Dublin staff and government representatives to collaborate on human service needs of the Tri-Valley ❖ Evaluate,document and promote Human Services Commission successes ❖ Continued education of commissioners on Tri-Valley human service needs,trends and opportunities Organizational Actions To achieve the organizational priorities,the commission members will take the following actions: Organizational Action #1: Work with Dublin and Livermore to coordinate regional efforts to address human service needs This action builds on a previous organizational action to develop regional efforts addressing human services needs throughout the Tri-Valley region. Coordination of regional efforts may also be a strategy to increase regional recognition for an area of Alameda County that is perceived as relatively prosperous and without any need for service expansion.Additionally, developing these relationships will encourage further collaboration to address some of the systemic challenges identified in the strategic planning process(e.g., lack of knowledge about available resources, duplication of services). The foundation of this collaboration has helped solidify the regional efforts for human services and this continued coordination will further those efforts. Measures of Success: • Identify opportunities for joint regional human services campaigns/projects/initiatives • Coordinated regional discussions throughout the grant cycle to ensure stability of core-safety-net services throughout the Tri-Valley • Number of joint regional human services campaigns/projects/initiatives offered in the Tri-Valley Organizational Action #2: Continued education of commissioners on Tri-Valley human service needs, trends and opportunities Through the public workshops,the commission recognized the value in hearing regularly from both the service providers addressing human service needs along with the public who are working with those service providers.
