Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element 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. As part of the Capital Improvements Element, the county has developed a Concurrency Management Plan, which ensures the maintenance of the adopted level -of -service standards. Through the Concurrency Management Plan, the county will measure facility capacity, assess development demand, and maintain a Capital Improvements Program which ensures that the level -of -service standards are maintained.
