Attachment 1 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION EXCERPTS Following are excerpts from the adopted Comprehensive Plan that offer guidance in the area of Plan implementation: Section 1.4.3 -Advisory boards and staff should review Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives on a regular basis and develop specific ideas on implementation strategies for presentation to the Board of County Commissioners. Setting priorities will be guided by the feasibility of accomplishing the strategies within a given year. Implementation strategies that are presented to the Board of County Commissioners should identify the following: ^ The corresponding Comprehensive Plan goal(s) and objective(s); ^ Estimation of fiscal impacts and staff resources required to implement the strategy; ^ Identification of responsible department and advisory board(s) and any contributing department(s) and advisory board(s) that will be engaged in strategy implementation; and ^ A timeline for implementation of the strategy. The Board of County Commissioners will consider implementation strategies submitted by advisory boards, review the recommended timing considerations assigned to individual objectives in the Comprehensive Plan, consider fiscal constraints and opportunities, and provide guidance to the County Manager on priorities for implementation. Section 1.4.5 -The Board of County Commissioners will, as needed and appropriate, prepare a work plan for Comprehensive Plan implementation strategies that identifies strategies to be initiated in a given year, the human and financial resources allocated to implementation of the strategies, and the parties responsible for implementing the strategy. Section 1.5.2 - A set of evaluation criteria, including a set of sustainability and community building indicators, or metrics, together with specific action statements will be developed for each Plan Element by each Element Advisory Board with assistance of County staff within the first year after plan adoption. The evaluation criteria may include short-term (1-2 years), medium-term (3-5 years), and long-term (more than 5 years) measurements. Combined, these evaluation criteria will be used to inform periodic updates of the Plan. The evaluation criteria will serve as a "Report Card" and will describe how and where the County is making progress on implementation of the plan and where additional attention may be needed.
