  Phase IV - Action Planning Phase

Creating New Solutions for Old Problems and New Times

In the Action Planning Phase. which took place from July through November 2000, teams of citizens developed strategies and action steps to make the Vision a reality by 2020. These recommendations were presented for adoption and implementation to the City, County, business and industry, education, the non profit sector, and the community at large.

Vision Report

Much intense work was accomplished in Phase IV in a very concentrated period of time. This work was carried out by 7 Vision Forces (task forces) consisting of approximately 15 individuals each. The Vision 2020 Facilitation Team integrated the work of the 7 Vision Forces into a comprehensive strategy to achieve the Vision.

Vision Force members served as individuals, not as representatives of a particular organization or constituency. 

These individuals were selected because of their integrity; open-mindedness; interest and/or experience in the Vision area addressed by their Vision force; and commitment to the future of Bakersfield.  The mix of individuals also reflects demographic diversity and people from across Greater Bakersfield. Representatives of the City and the County will also be active participants.>

In keeping with the open, inclusive character of the Vision 2020 process, Vision Force meetings were open to the community and all residents who wished to provide input. Minutes of Vision Force meetings were be posted on the website.

In keeping with Vision 2020�s stated objective to not duplicate existing efforts, input was also solicited from various community groups and organizations who may already be addressing one or more elements of the Vision.

The Vision Forces objectives were to leverage on-going efforts while also seeking to create new solutions to existing problems.
