of the “Ranking” column. Note that all action items in the table do not
include a ranking number. This is because not all of the action items
were reviewed by the community, so not all were voted upon. Some
action items were added after the survey to provide crucial steps
needed to reach the point of existing action items, or to round out the
preservation program.

Implementation Phasing
The primary purpose of the implementation table lies in the phasing
columns, labeled “Year 1” through “Year 10+”. These columns indi-
cate when a particular action is scheduled to occur. Determining the
appropriate year(s) for an action to occur depends on a variety of
considerations including the priority ranking indicated by commu-
nity members, if an action logically needs to occur before or after a
different action, and whether its a long-term idea or something that
can easily be accomplished. Purple bars indicate what year(s) an ac-
tion should occur based on these factors. The bars are movable which
allows the document to be used by the preservation community to
adjust if an action is completed early or needs to be postponed for
any reason. Note that some actions include more than one purple bar.
In some cases, this indicates an action that should occur periodically,
such as holding an event every 3 or 5 years. In other cases, an action
includes a purple bar in every implementation year, indicating the
need for ongoing efforts, such as for seeking out funding or ensuring
staff time is adequately assigned. This part of the implementation
chart should be continuously updated.

Lead Players and Supporting Partners
The final two columns of the implementation chart - Lead Player(s)
and Supporting Partner(s) - indicate important people or groups that
play a key part in completing the program actions. The Lead Players
are responsible for the implementation of each action. Supporting
partners are listed, where applicable, and identify groups that may be
able to assist in completing an action.
