Community Services Commission

Herman D. Parker, Director of Community Services
DATE:
February 11, 2008
SUBJECT:
Temecula Youth Master Plan
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission approve in its substantial
form the Temecula Youth Master Plan.
BACKGROUND: Recognizing the challenges facing today's youth in Temecula, the
Board of Directors and the Temecula Valley Unified School District embarked on the development of
a comprehensive, strategic plan to assess the needs and desires of young people in our community.
The Temecula Youth Master Plan contains a variety of input, suggestions and proposals received
from the community to address the needs of our youth.
The Board of Directors awarded a contract to MIG to work with the City and the community in the
development of the Temecula Youth Master Plan. Through a series of individual interviews with key
stakeholders, focus groups that included representatives from both public and private schools, non-
profit organizations, faith based organizations, community and civic leaders, as well as intercept
surveys, internet surveys and two well attended community workshops, input was gathered from the
community at large. Our consultant also worked closely with an adult steering committee
representing a large segment of our community, and a youth steering committee consisting of young
adults with interest in the development of the plan. With inputfrom the steering committees, and the
information gathered from the community, our consultant MIG developed a vision statement, values,
outcomes and a strategic direction, which formed the framework of the Temecula Youth Master
Plan.
The vision statement was developed from input from both the adult and youth steering committees
and focused on a broad statement as follows "Temecula's youth are valued as the future of our
community. We provide an exciting, positive and supportive environment with a wide range of
choices and opportunities that challenge our youth with new experiences. We develop our youth
through a well-balanced approach that fosters intellectual, social, spiritual, creative, physical and
emotional growth. Our young people enjoy their youth, and achieve lifelong success as Temecula's
adults of tomorrow".
Values identified through the process included safety, family orientation, education, and activities.
Outcomes that were identified include youth safety, prepared youth, engaging youth, strong families
and communities, shared respect, happy and healthy youth. In addition, the main key points
identified as our strategic direction of the plan include public and private partnerships, organized
activities, the development of additional community facilities, safety and safe environments, respect
and understanding in youth/adult relationships, life and job skills, transportation access for youth,
R:\CSCAGEND\2008\Temecula Youth master Plan 021108.doc
and public information and oversight to keep our youth and community members informed, all of
these elements express the desires of our community and the direction for the Youth Master Plan.
It is envisioned that the plan would be a used as a guide to assist the City of Temecula and its
private and non-profit organizations throughout the community, in addressing the needs of our youth
for years to come.
Tonight Mr. Andy Pendoley and Ms. Esmeralda Garcia of MIG are here to present an overview of
the Temecula Youth Master Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost associated with the development of the Temecula Youth
Master Plan was budgeted in FY2006-2007 operating budget in the amount of $67,000, including
contingency and was carried over to FY2007 -2008 to complete the development of the document.
