Comprehensive Plan Recreation and Open Space 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 Recreation and Open Space 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 10.10 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 Recreation and Open Space Element, several different types of actions must be taken. These include: land acquisition, land (park) development, and physical improvement of facilities, as well as adoption of land development regulations and other ordinances, execution of interlocal agreements, provision of program support, and coordination. Plan implementation will also involve preparing several studies and feasibility analyses. Overall plan implementation responsibility will rest with the planning department. Besides its responsibilities as identified in Table 10.10, 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.
