<br /> <br /> <br />3-13 <br /> <br />Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br />Section Three – Recreation Programming Recommendations 2014 <br />Recommended Actions:  <br />  <br />1. There is a need to centrally locate the City of Pleasanton Community Services Department. <br />Consideration and evaluation of costs and benefits should be given to the renovation of an <br />existing building or the development of a new facility at a central location <br />2. The City currently has a lack of adequate meeting space especially for larger sit‐down <br />lunch/dinner events. Evaluation should be given to development of a large multi‐purpose room <br />with an adjacent kitchen at any new facility developed by the City <br />3. Provide adequate language translation services to include improved participation from new <br />ethnic populations <br />4. Based on the need to increase and improve on meeting space and indoor facilities, lack of a <br />home site for Teen programming, the City should move forward with plans to develop a multi‐ <br />purpose Community Center at the Bernal Community Park <br />5. Offer flexible office hours and convenient program times, including nights and weekends for <br />customer convenience <br />6. The City’s current “CLASS” registration system is dated and will be phased out by the Active <br />Network. The result is that the City should explore and evaluate other options for online <br />transactions such as class registration, facility rentals, memberships, and other services <br /> <br />3.5.2 Fiscal and Coordinated Planning  <br />  <br />Fiscal and coordinated planning with other departments within the City of Pleasanton and with other <br />public and non‐profit agencies to minimize duplication and/ or competition should continue to provide <br />for the best use of public and private resources to meet recreation demands. A unique feature of the <br />City of Pleasanton is that there is little to no private recreational providers such as a movie theater, <br />bowling alley, fun zone, etc. located within the City’s limits. <br /> <br />The partnership between the City and Pleasanton Unified School District is a model for cooperation and <br />joint utilization of public facilities for public benefit. Regardless, staff from both organizations should <br />continue to meet and discuss changes required between agreements to meet the changing needs and <br />demands of the community. <br />  <br />Recommended Action:  <br />  <br />1. Continue to meet on a regular and on‐going basis to review and consider revising the terms of <br />the Joint‐Use Agreement with Pleasanton Unified School District to improve and expand use of <br />indoor and outdoor, District and City facilities <br />2. Collaborate with Alameda County agencies and East Bay Regional Park District to maximize <br />opportunities to share resources in providing outdoor recreation and health and wellness <br />programs <br />3. The City maintains an excellent life‐cycle maintenance program but the program is impacted by <br />inadequate funding. The result is that many recreation facilities such as the Amador Recreation <br />Center, Cultural Arts Building, Aquatic Center, Nature House, Century House and Amador <br />Theater are showing physical impacts from long‐standing deferred maintenance. Identification <br />of funds and development of an on‐going maintenance and renovation program should become <br />a priority for the City <br /> <br />
