Year: 2015
The P2ACT program is so named because it represents a moral pact with the people of San Bernardino County for excellence in collaborative, cooperative governance. The Land Use Services Department of the County is charged with multiple essential public services, including Planning, Building, and Code Compliance. Our purpose with P2ACT is to engage the general public and other stakeholders in implementation of the Countywide Vision, expand public participation in policy development that will enhance their lives and livelihoods, focus our administrative systems on cooperative governance with other departments and jurisdictions, and train our employees to deliver excellent customer service through best practices in our fields. Five key initiatives, including the two Pâs, comprise the P2ACT program: Participatory Government, Policy Refinement, Administrative Enhancement, Cooperative Governance and Training.
