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.

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 not otherwise addressed in the yearly update of the Capital Improvements 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 are currently being used to prepare the formal Evaluation and Appraisal Report and will be used by the county in subsequent Evaluation and Appraisal Reports. Included in those procedures are the format requirements listed in 9J-5.005-(1)(a)(e), F.A.C.
