City of Stockton Action Teams
To ensure that the goals and objectives of the City Council are met, the City Manager has created Action Teams. These Actions Teams often times are made up of members not just from city departments but may also include community members and representatives from other agencies. Including all players from various agencies in this collaborative effort avoids duplication of efforts and keeps all agencies working on an issue informed. |
The
following Action Teams have been created. Click on team
name for more information, and for the most recent
update reports to the City Council.
- Airport
Corridor Action Team - ACT
Co-Chair: Katherine
Gong-Meissner, City Clerk
Co-Chair: David
Cole, Deputy Chief of Police
Coordinator: Carolyn Godwin
Assistant:
Joan Southwick
The Mission of the Airport Corridor Action Team (ACT) is
to revitalize the Airport corridor neighborhood, plan for
change, and implement urgent action required for the long
term success and economic stability of the area. Input from
the community and commitment from city and county government
will be keynotes of this Action Team.
- Community
Health Action Team - CHAT
Chair: Blair
Ulring, Deputy Chief of Police
Assistant: Jeanetta Ramirez
The goal of the Community Health Action Team (CHAT) is to
comprehensively evaluate and address safety and health based
problem locations in the City to provide a healthy and safe
living environment for residents. In its efforts to improve
the quality of life in Stockton, the CHAT focuses on the
operations of Multi-Family to Single Family Residences throughout
the community by enforcing the City of Stockton’s Municipal
Code. In addition, the CHAT conducts ongoing residential
property inspections; eradicates neighborhood blight; and
utilizes Problem-Oriented Policing (POP) strategies to address
crime issues in the area of assignment, currently the Kentfield
Road Area.
- Downtown
Action Team - DAT
Co-Chair: Steve
Pinkerton, Director of Housing & Redev
Assistant:
Amanda Thomas
The purpose of the Downtown Action Team (DAT) is to revitalize downtown--a major Council priority. The DAT is comprised of City and County officials, Downtown Stockton Alliance, Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce, and representatives from the development and business community. The DAT’s goal is to form an overall vision for the future of Downtown Stockton, create a set of key revitalization strategies, and identify top priority implementation actions on which to focus.
- Kentfield
Action Team - KAT
Co-Chair: Johnny
Ford, Deputy City Manager
Co-Chair: Mark Helms , Deputy
Chief of Police
Coordinator: Carolyn Godwin
Assistant: Nicole Mamorno
The mission of the Kentfield Action Team (KAT) is to address
the challenges of the neighborhood, revitalize, and create
new opportunities. The Kentfield Neighborhood boundaries are
El Dorado to the West, UPRR to the East, Calaveras River to
the South and March Lane to the North. Part I crimes and police
calls for service are among the highest rates in Stockton.
Almost half of the residents live below the poverty level and
more than 61% of all children live below the poverty level.
The neighborhood is transient- 16% of households are owner
occupied and only 35% of the residents lived in this neighborhood
five years ago. Additionally, many residents are linguistically
isolated which prevents the development of a strong social
connection to neighbors.
- Magnolia/Midtown Action Team - MMAT
Chair: Christine Tien, Deputy City Manager
Coordinator: Alicia Duer
Assistant: Patty Vasquez
The Magnolia/Midtown Action Team (MMAT) is the steering committee for Chair
Gary Giovanetti’s Midtown/Magnolia Advisory Group (MAG). The goal of MAG is
to revitalize the midtown area by promoting the “live, work, walk, learn” concept,
encouraging owner-occupancy and emphasizing the historic significance of the
area. The midtown area is bordered by Miner Avenue to the South, UPRR to the
East, El Dorado Street to the West and Harding Way to the North.
- Youth
and Education Action Team - YEAT
Co-Chair: Pamela Sloan, Director of Parks & Recreation
Co-Chair: Natalie Rencher, Director of Library Services
Assistant: Miranda Nighbor
The Youth Education and Action Team (YEAT) focus is to engage Stockton youth and to build on and foster youth assets. YEAT activities include getting youth involved in City activities with the view that they will become active stakeholders in our community. YEAT has developed projects that focus on asset building, youth development through leadership, providing teens with resources, recruiting, and community projects. In addition, YEAT is co-sponsoring a Youth-in-Government event to help high school students become more knowledgeable about City government. Our newly designed Leadership Academy will begin in September. YEAT is committed to providing safe and positive alternative activities for youth and is committed to cooperation, integration and increased effectiveness of all youth services within the City of Stockton. |
