Page | 11 APPENDIX C <br /> <br /> <br />Recommended Actions <br /> Develop multi‐disciplinary health partnerships with <br />schools, local hospitals, and health care providers, <br />private health clubs, and other agencies to bring public information and educational programs <br />that prevent obesity and successfully promote physical activity across entire communities. <br /> Examine the opportunities, potential locations, funds required, costs per parcel, and steps <br />necessary to develop a home location for teens, either as a stand‐alone center or in conjunction <br />with development of a Community Center. <br /> Report on an on‐going basis to the public and policy makers the health and wellness outcomes <br />of Pleasanton’s programs and facilities. <br /> Collaborate with Pleasanton School District and to ensure state standards for physical education <br />are implemented and supplement school programs with physical activity and skill development <br />in recreation offerings. <br /> Evaluate options and work with Pleasanton School District and other public or private aquatic <br />program providers to expand swimming programs for city residents. (See Aquatics) <br /> Consider providing healthy snacks at Community Services Department sponsored programs, day <br />camps, and special events that meet state nutritional standards. <br /> Modify existing contracts to require that all concession operations and vending machines sell at <br />least 75% of the product that meets state nutritional standards. <br /> Work with health care associations, to incorporate healthy eating and exercising habits into <br />after‐school recreation programs and camps for young children that model healthy living. <br /> Develop a line of healthy eating cooking programs in conjunction with the local business <br />community. Follow the recommendations of The Center for Civic Partnerships an organization <br />working to build healthier communities and more effective non‐profit organizations. <br /> Address the needs of an aging population by expanding programming and encouraging <br />participation in physical activity with an emphasis on the gentler aerobic activities. <br /> <br />Inclusion of All Populations <br /> <br />For over 30 years, Pleasanton has offered RADD—Recreational Activities for the Developmentally <br />Disabled, a program designed specifically for the developmentally disabled. The philosophy of RADD is <br />to provide opportunity for personal growth for those 15 and up through recreation activities that <br />enhance the quality of life for individuals of all abilities. <br /> <br />The RADD program, the only such program in the tri‐valley area, gives respect to all, encourages <br />independence and fosters self‐expression. Budget cuts have eliminated other programs for the <br />disabled. For example, Livermore Area Recreation and Park District’s RADD and TADD (Teen Activities for <br />the Developmentally Disabled) programs were eliminated due to district wide budget cuts. The <br />American Community Survey found that over 6% of the Pleasanton population has a disability. <br /> <br />Recommended Actions <br /> <br /> Pleasanton Community Services Department should establish and receive City Council approval <br />of an Inclusion policy and funding that is committed to following the guidelines set forth by Title <br />VI and the ADA to ensure that all programs, activities, and services, when viewed in their <br />Most often desired programs <br />included arts and crafts (12%), <br />music (6%), and plays (5%). <br />Community‐Wide Telephone Survey
