KEY STRATEGIC ISSUES A Strategic Plan is needed to address key strategic issues: Funding Regional Parks Core vs Non-Core Business Stewardship of Open Space HBP Strategic Plan Workshop 18
STRATEGIC ISSUE #1: Funding Regional Parks Annual revenues are equal to operating costs, with virtually no funding available for capital projects. Maintenance costs have doubled in the last 10 years. Harbor Patrol costs have increased by 90% since 1996. Capital projects are dependent on grants & bonds (e.g. Prop 12 & 40); an uncertain revenue source. HBP Strategic Plan Workshop 19
STRATEGIC ISSUE #2: Core vs Non-Core Business Transfer lands and facilities that are inconsistent with RDMD/HBP core business. Partnerships Public Agencies Non-Profits Private Sector HBP Strategic Plan Workshop 20
HBP s Current Core Business To provide recreational or scenic attractions that are of countywide significance and offer a sense of spaciousness. To provide areas for outdoor recreation, e.g. parks, beaches & trails, and areas with notable aesthetics, historic or cultural values. To manage and protect natural and cultural resources within regional parks. HBP Strategic Plan Workshop 21
STRATEGIC ISSUE #3: Stewardship of Open Space Make wilderness parks & open space accessible to growing populations with competing interests. Preserve natural resources within a complex regulatory environment. Balance resource protection with appropriate public access. Seek partnerships with other land managers. HBP Strategic Plan Workshop 22
