Formation of policies, directly and indirectly, through recommendations
<br />by City staff, the Planning and Zoning Commission, other boards, and the
<br />decisions of the City Council. As new development/redevelopment is
<br />proposed, staff and the City’s advisory boards, together with the City
<br />Council, must abide by the policies and recommendations of this plan.
<br />The text of this plan, coupled with the future land use, beautification,
<br />and thoroughfare plans, provides the requisite guidance for achieving
<br />what has been envisioned by the residents and stakeholders of this
<br />community.
<br />Regular updating of a capital improvement program (CIP); a five-year
<br />plan identifying capital projects for street infrastructure; water,
<br />wastewater, and drainage improvements; park, trail, and recreation
<br />facility provisions; and other public buildings and municipal services.
<br />These capital improvements must be coordinated with the objectives of
<br />this plan and implemented consistent with the future land use,
<br />beautification, and thoroughfare plans, and other relevant plans.
<br />Identification and implementation of special projects, programs, and
<br />initiatives to achieve organizational, programmatic, and/or
<br />developmental objectives. These may include further studies, detailed
<br />area plans (individual neighborhoods or special districts), or initiating or
<br />expanding upon key City programs. These tend to be more managerial in
<br />function, which may support or influence physical improvements or
<br />enhancements, but themselves focus on community betterment.
<br />6.3 Plan Administration
<br />A host of community leaders must take “ownership” in this plan and
<br />maintain a commitment for its ongoing, successful implementation. The
<br />City’s management and staff, together with its boards and commissions,
<br />committees, and organizations, will have essential roles in implementing the
<br />plan and, thus, ensuring its success.
<br />Education and Training
<br />Due to the comprehensive nature of this plan update, it is necessary to
<br />conduct individual training workshops with the Planning and Zoning
<br />Commission, City Council, and City department managers, as well as each of
<br />the other boards and committees who have a role in plan implementation.
<br />These are the groups who, individually and collectively, will be responsible
<br />for implementation. The importance of their collaboration, coordination, and
<br />communication cannot be overstated. The training initiative should include:
<br />Discussion of the roles and responsibilities of each individual
<br />commission, board, or committee and their function in the organization.
<br />A thorough overview of the entire plan, with particular emphasis on the
<br />segments that most directly relate to their charge.
<br />Implementation tasking and priority setting, allowing each group to
<br />establish their own one-, two-, and five-year agendas in coordination
<br />with the strategic agenda of the Mayor and City Council.
