213 <br />Chapter 1; Plan Overview <br />01 <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 />I.S.I. 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 />Oran,erCouvityCotnpv-e ie Plaw Page 1 -13 <br />
