The Action Agenda table provides a starting point for determining immediate versus later task priorities. This is
an important first step toward Plan implementation and should occur in conjunction with the County and City’s
annual budgeting, capital projects planning, and in support of departmental work planning.
The near-term action priorities should be revisited annually by County and City officials and staff to recognize
accomplishments, highlight areas where further attention and effort are needed, and determine whether some
items have moved up or down on the priority list given changing circumstances and emerging needs. It should
be kept in mind that early implementation of certain items, while perhaps not the uppermost priorities, may be
expedited by the availability of related grant funds, by a state or federal mandate, or by the eagerness of one or
more partners to pursue an initiative with the County and/or City. On the other hand, some high-priority items
may prove difficult to tackle in the near-term due to budget constraints, the lack of a lead entity or individual to
carry the initiative forward, or by the community’s readiness to take on a complex or potentially controversial
new program.
Progress on the immediate and near-term items should be the focus of the first annual review and report one
year after adoption of this Plan as described later in this section. Then, similar to multi-year capital
improvements programming, the entire Action Agenda – and all other action strategies within the Plan sections
– should be revisited annually to decide if any additional items are ready to move into a sooner action
timeframe.
