1 <br /> Excerpt of Materials Adopted by BOCC August 24, 2009 <br /> New Ideas —Ongoing Comprehensive Plan Implementation, Monitoring, <br /> and Evaluation <br /> 1. Ongoing Implementation <br /> Consistent with Section 1.4.3 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan (excerpt below), <br /> Planning Staff proposes to partner with the Planning Board to develop their list of <br /> prioritized implementation strategies for BOCC review and consideration at its <br /> annual planning retreat(s) each year. Planning Staff has developed a <br /> Comprehensive Plan Implementation Strategy Form (Handout on 8/24/09 and <br /> attached herein, last page) to be used during the process to help convey <br /> anticipated key facets to the BOCC such as: <br /> • Principle/Goal/Objective • Public Involvement <br /> • Lead Department/Related Process/Timeframe <br /> Dept(s). • General Action Plan <br /> • Advisory Boards • Fiscal Impacts <br /> • Monitoring/Feedback Loop <br /> It should be noted that this proposal does not include any "grand" prioritization of <br /> implementation strategy recommendations that may also be coming forward to <br /> the BOCC from other County departments and advisory boards. However, <br /> Planning Staff is hopeful that, together with the Planning Board, it can begin to <br /> institutionalize a process that could be expanded in the future to include other <br /> departments/advisory boards or be replicated in some fashion by them. <br /> 2030 Comprehensive Plan Excerpt, Section 1.4.3, Recommended <br /> Process for Setting Priorities <br /> Advisory boards and staff should review Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives on <br /> a regular basis and develop specific ideas on implementation strategies for <br /> presentation to the Board of County Commissioners. Setting priorities will be guided <br /> by the feasibility of accomplishing the strategies within a given year. <br /> Implementation strategies that are presented to the Board of County Commissioners <br /> should identify the following: <br /> • The corresponding Comprehensive Plan goal(s) and objective(s); <br /> • Estimation of fiscal impacts and staff resources required to implement the <br /> strategy; <br /> • Identification of responsible department and advisory board(s) and any <br /> contributing department(s) and advisory board(s) that will be engaged in <br /> strategy implementation; and <br /> • A timeline for implementation of the strategy. <br />
