3 <br />Attachment 1 <br />1.5.2. PLAN REVIEW AND EVALUATION <br />The following Plan review and evaluation procedures should be <br />conducted according to the timelines given: <br />1. A set of evaluation criteria, including a set of sustainability <br />and community building indicators, or metrics, together with <br />specific action statements will be developed for each Plan <br />Element by each Element Advisory Board with assistance of <br />County staff within the first year after plan adoption. The <br />evaluation criteria may include short -term (1 -2 years), <br />medium -term (3 -5 years), and long -term (more than 5 years) <br />measurements. Combined, these evaluation criteria will be <br />used to inform periodic updates of the Plan. The evaluation <br />criteria will serve as a "Report Card" and will describe how <br />and where the County is making progress on implementation <br />of the plan and where additional attention may be needed. <br />2. Comprehensive Plan Element Status reports to the Board of <br />County Commissioners will be developed by respective <br />Advisory Boards and staff. Status reports will include a <br />review and evaluation of Plan goals and objectives using the <br />evaluation criteria discussed above. The report will be <br />developed every other year beginning one year after adoption <br />of the Plan and will be delivered to the Board for review at its <br />annual retreat. A specific format for reporting will be <br />developed to maintain consistency in reporting. <br />3. The County Profile Element will be updated after data from <br />the 2010 U.S. Census are available. Regular updates to the <br />County Profile Element should occur to reflect new U.S. <br />Census data in subsequent years. <br />4. Following the incorporation of 2010 data, a survey of County <br />departments will be undertaken by the Planning and <br />Inspections Department to determine the usefulness of the <br />County Profile Element, and if annual updates would be <br />beneficial. <br />5. A full review and update of the Comprehensive Plan will <br />occur within 10 years of adoption of the plan, with a <br />preliminary target of 2015. <br />
