PAGE 83 IX. IMPLEMENTATION PROCESSES AND PLAN Implementation Processes The three cities are committed to collaborating to ensure this work continues. The first step is for this report to be presented to the City Councils in Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton in spring 2024. By summer, the human service commissions from each city should meet jointly to prioritize actionable recommendations for City Council Consideration, including the identification of who is responsible for key activities in moving the work forward; metrics to track progress; potential partners; and anticipated budget. The recommendations should return to City Councils for action and any approved project costs developed within the City budget processes and incorporated into the 2025/2026 operating budget. To ensure accountability across the process, implementation plans (samples below) should be developed for each selected recommendation to track, evaluate, and communicate progress toward agreed upon goals and approaches, as articulated in the Approach Recommendations. Progress should be reviewed, strategies modified, and new recommendations (if applicable) prioritized at an annual Joint Human Services Committee meeting. Additionally, an annual Human Services presentation should be made to each of the three City Councils annually to report Needs Assessment progress. The three cities are not only committed to collaborative action to meet the identified human service needs, but also doing so in a way that is grounded in the theoretical frameworks that emerged from community members and nonprofit organizations during data collection. These include a need to work upstream on social and structural determinants of health; mitigate root causes of inequities and collaborate with those most affected. Each of the three cities has committed to build upon the momentum from this Needs Assessment process and continue to engage community members including but not limited to those who served on the EAPAC. As an immediate next step, EAPAC members should be involved to identify strategies to disseminate this material through visually engaging products, storytelling, and at community events. Deliberate community engagement efforts must be made throughout the recommendation selection and implementation processes. Finally, annual engagement sessions and presentations should be held in each of the three cities to keep community members involved and abreast of emergent progress in meeting human service needs.
