ti r Chapter I: Plan Overview <br /> ■ Public Funding of Initiatives and Programs. <br /> Additional implementation tools may be identified during development of <br /> implementation strategies. <br /> 1.4.5. DECISIONS ON IMPLEMENTATION <br /> The Board of County Commissioners will, as needed and appropriate, <br /> prepare a work plan for Comprehensive Plan implementation strategies that <br /> identifies strategies to be initiated in a given year, the human and financial <br /> resources allocated to implementation of the strategies, and the parties <br /> responsible for implementing the strategy. <br /> 1.5. MONITORING AND EVALUATION PROCEDURES <br /> 1.5.1. PURPOSE <br /> The Comprehensive Plan is a "living" document. It should be revised and <br /> updated regularly to ensure its relevance as the guiding document for <br /> County decision-making. This chapter outlines procedures for ongoing <br /> monitoring and updating of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> 1.5.2. PLAN REVIEW AND EVALUATION <br /> The following Plan review and evaluation procedures should be conducted <br /> according to the timelines given: <br /> 1. A set of evaluation criteria, including a set of sustainability and <br /> community building indicators, or metrics, together with specific <br /> action statements will be developed for each Plan Element by each <br /> Element Advisory Board with assistance of County staff within the <br /> first year after plan adoption. The evaluation criteria may include <br /> short-term (1-2 years), medium-term (3-5 years), and long-term (more <br /> than 5 years) measurements. Combined, these evaluation criteria will <br /> be used to inform periodic updates of the Plan. The evaluation <br /> criteria will serve as a "Report Card" and will describe how and where <br /> the County is making progress on implementation of the plan and <br /> where additional attention may be needed. <br /> 2. Comprehensive Plan Element Status reports to the Board of County <br /> Commissioners will be developed by respective Advisory Boards and <br /> staff. Status reports will include a review and evaluation of Plan <br /> goals and objectives using the evaluation criteria discussed above. <br /> The report will be developed every other year beginning one year <br /> after adoption of the Plan and will be delivered to the Board for <br /> review at its 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 the 2010 <br /> U.S. Census are available. Regular updates to the County Profile <br /> Element should occur to reflect new U.S. Census data in subsequent <br /> years. <br /> 4. Following the incorporation of 2010 data, a survey of County <br /> departments will be undertaken by the Planning and Inspections <br /> Ora*t elCou4,u Coi*tPrehevoMPLa.*w Page 1-13 <br />
