Comprehensive Plan <br />Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element <br />EVALUATION AND MONITORING PROCEDURES <br />To be effective, a plan must not only provide a means for implementation; it must also provide a <br />mechanism for assessing the plan's effectiveness. Generally a plan's effectiveness can be judged <br />by the degree to which the plan's objectives have been met. Since objectives are measurable and <br />have specific timeframes, the plan's objectives are the benchmarks used as a basis to evaluate the <br />plan. <br />Table 3.A.7 identifies each of the objectives of the Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element. It also <br />identifies the measures to be used to evaluate progress in achieving these objectives. Most of <br />these measures are quantitative. Besides the measures, Table 3.A.7 also identifies timeframes <br />associated with meeting the objectives. <br />The utilities department staff will be responsible for monitoring and evaluating the Sanitary <br />Sewer Sub -Element. This will involve collection of data and compilation of information <br />regarding facility capacity, expansion, and new development permitted. This will be done on a <br />regular. basis. As part of the county's concurrency management system, the county will <br />continually monitor facility capacity to ensure, that wastewater level -of -service standards will be <br />maintained. <br />While monitoring will occur on a continual basis, formal evaluation of the Sanitary Sewer Sub - <br />Element will occur every five years in conjunction with the formal evaluation and appraisal of <br />the entire comprehensive plan. Besides assessing progress, the evaluation and appraisal process <br />will also be used to determine whether the Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element objectives should be <br />modified or expanded. In this way the monitoring and evaluation of the Sanitary Sewer Sub - <br />Element will not only provide a means of determining the degree of success of the plan's <br />implementation; it will also provide a mechanism for evaluating needed changes to the plan <br />element. <br />Appendix A <br />Community Development Department Indian River County 54 <br />
