• Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.10: The county shall ensure that all capital improvements identified in the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan are completed according to schedule. The only acceptable delays will be those which are subject to one of the following: ➢ Projects providing capacity equal to, or greater than, the delayed project are accelerated within or added to the Schedule of Capital Improvements; ➢ Modification of development orders issued conditionally or subject to the concurrent availability of public facility capacity provided by the delayed project. Such modification shall restrict the allowable amount and schedule of development to that which can be served by the capacity of public facilities according to the revised schedule; or ➢ Amendment of the plan to reduce the adopted standard for the level -of -service for public facilities until the fiscal year in which the delayed project is scheduled to be completed. Policy 5.11: The county hereby adopts Appendix B as the County's Priority Transportation Capital Improvements Schedule. This schedule provides the project description, estimated date of commencement of actual construction, estimated date of completion, and estimated cost for projects that will increase roadway capacity on priority facilities. Implementation, Evaluation, and Monitoring Implementation An important part of any plan is its implementation. Implementation involves execution of the plan's policies. It involves taking actions and achieving results. For the Capital Improvements Element, implementation involves various activities. While some of these actions will be ongoing, others are activities that will be taken by certain points in time. For each policy in this element, table 6.19 identifies the type of action required, the responsible entity for taking the action, the timing, and whether or not the policy necessitates a capital expenditure. To implement the Capital Improvements Element, several different types of actions must be taken. These include: development of mechanisms for funding new facilities, adoption of land development regulations and ordinances, execution of interlocal agreements, coordination, and preparation of studies and evaluation and monitoring reports. Overall, the Capital Improvements Element implementation responsibility will rest with the Office of Management and Budget. Besides its responsibilities as identified in table 6.19, the planning department has the additional responsibility of ensuring that other entities discharge their responsibilities. This will entail notifying other applicable departments of capital expenditures to be included in their budgets, notifying other departments and groups of actions that must be taken, and assisting other departments and agencies in their plan implementation responsibilities.
