Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element Table 6.20 identifies each of the objectives of the Capital Improvements Element. It also identifies the measures to be used to evaluate progress in achieving these objectives. 'Most of these measures are quantitative, such as adopting land development requirements, which ensure the maintenance of the level -of -service standards, adopting a capacity monitoring system and others. Besides the measures, table 6.20 also identifies timeframes associated with meeting the objectives. . The Planning Department staff will be responsible for monitoring and evaluating the Capital Improvement Element. This will involve collection of data and compilation of information regarding facility capacity, expansion, and new development permitted. This will be done on a regular basis. As part of the county's Concurrency Management System, the Planning Department will continually monitor the facility capacity to ensure that level -of -service standards will be maintained.

The formal evaluation and appraisal of the entire Comprehensive Plan will occur every five years. Besides assessing progress, the evaluation and appraisal process will also be used to determine whether the Capital Improvements Element objectives should be modified or expanded. In this way, the monitoring and evaluation of the Capital Improvements Element will not only provide a means of determining the degree of success of the plan's implementation; it will also provide a mechanism for evaluating needed changes to the plan element. As discussed in the above paragraphs, the evaluation and monitoring procedures identified for the Capital Improvements Element are basically the same for the entire Comprehensive Plan. These procedures will be used by the county to prepare the formal five-year Evaluation and Appraisal Reports. Included in those procedures are all the format requirements listed in 9J-5.005-(1)(a)(e), F.A.C. The monitoring and evaluation of this plan is critical to ensure that the policies are effective in achieving the plan's goals and objectives. Each individual element of the plan contains provisions and measures to be used in the review of the element. Each element contains an Implementation and Evaluation Matrix and monitoring procedures, which will be used to prepare the Five -Year Evaluation and Appraisal Reports.
