IMPLEMENTATION An implementation plan is a coordinated series of actions the City desires to take in the future that are intended to advance, over the long term, the City's Shared Vision, Core Values, and the General Plan goals and policies. An implementation plan is thus a follow-up measure for this element. Taken as a whole, these programs represent the City's best thinking today on what actions should be taken to address the considerations and concerns of the community and make sure thatthe plan's aspirations are achieved. Implementation is in large part contingent on adequate funding. Many of these actions can be pursued through initiatives already underway. Other programs will require additional resources. As such, the exact mix and timing of programs the City may pursue will in part be opportunity driven, dependent on the availability of funding, staffing, and other necessary resources. The Time Frame in the Implementation Table below is the target for completion of the Action. This element maybe implemented byamendmentsto existing plans, ordinances, development standards, and design guidelines; capital investments/projects; and interagency/interjurisdictional coordination.
