Beyond revisions to existing actions, the VisionKeepers focused their lens on new and <br />innovative actions to help implement strategies, and to see if there were any `missing' <br />strategies that could also help achieve the vision for each Focus Area. In addition, over <br />the past few years, new issues that impact Downtown Hilo have emerged, and a <br />framework for considering these as part of the revised Action Plan was devised. <br />Finally, the SDAT Program offered direction on numerous actions that could help <br />implement a variety of strategies. Other experts working in their respective fields also <br />suggested new actions. Their combined input went into a working document titled <br />Parking Lot - Action Ideas which proved invaluable for keeping track of action ideas <br />that needed further review before they could be included in the revised Action Plan. <br />Products: Step One <br />• Draft text of the revised Action Plan (not in matrix format) <br />• Record of Changes <br />• First draft of the Parking Lot - Action Ideas <br />+ Step Two: <br />Host an Action Plan Review Workshop to review draft changes and action <br />ideas <br />On October 9, 2009, the VisionKeepers and the Planning Department hosted a <br />workshop at the Downtown Hilo YWCA for almost 60 committed and potential Lead <br />Solution Partners and students from local educational institutions. Participants were <br />divided into the six Focus Areas based on their passion and expertise. Their tasks were <br />four -fold: <br />Review preliminary revisions to the draft text of the Action Plan and collectively <br />decide whether or not to accept the changes, and offer suggestions for more <br />precise action language; <br />Review the Parking Lot - Action Ideas document and assess which ideas ought <br />to be integrated into the Action Plan, with the nomination of potential or <br />committed Lead Solution Partners; <br />Suggest and discuss additional strategies and new actions that could be <br />included in the Action Plan; and <br />Prioritize strategies to aid in future implementation. <br />EDH 2025: 5 -Year Action Plan Update 1 6 1 P a g e <br />
