PLAN IMPLEMENTATION An important part of any plan is its implementation. Implementation involves execution of the plan's policies by taking actions and achieving results. For the Coastal Management 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 9.4 identifies the type of action required, the entity or entities responsible for taking the action, the timing, and whether or not the policy necessitates a capital expenditure. To implement the Coastal Management Element, several types of action must be taken. These include, but are not limited to: coordination with jurisdictional and reviewing agencies, establishing marina facilities siting criteria, and protecting/preserving estuarine resources. Overall plan implementation responsibility will rest with the Community Development Department. Besides its responsibilities as identified in Table 9.4, the Community Development 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, Community Development Department Indian River County 66 APPENDIX A
