Attachment 5.1 19 SECTION 3 -- New Ideas — Ongoing Comprehensive Plan Implementation, Monitoring, and Evaluation 1. Ongoing Implementation Consistent with Section 1.4.3 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan (excerpt below), Planning Staff proposes to partner with the Planning Board to develop their list of prioritized implementation strategies for BOCC review and consideration at its annual planning retreat(s) each year. Planning Staff has developed a Comprehensive Plan Implementation Strategy Form (handout to be used during the process to help convey anticipated key facets to the BOCC such as: • Principle /Goal /Objective • Public Involvement • Lead Department/Related Process/Timeframe Dept(s). • General Action Plan • Advisory. Boards • Fiscal Impacts • Monitoring /Feedback Loop It should be noted that this proposal does not include any "grand" prioritization of implementation strategy recommendations that may also be coming forward to the BOCC from other County departments and advisory boards. However, Planning Staff is hopeful that, together with the Planning Board, it can begin to institutionalize a process that could be expanded in the future to include other departments /advisory boards or be replicated in some fashion by them. 2030 Comprehensive Plan Excerpt, Section 1.4.3, Recommended Process for Setting Priorities 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, consider fiscal constraints and opportunities, and provide guidance to the County Manager on priorities for implementation.
