CONCLUSION Given the unique three -step process initiated by the city council, the SPOTLIGHT on 2030 Community Vision Plan will segue into the Comprehensive and Resource Management planning efforts to begin in 2007. Community and citizen involvement will continue throughout each step of the entire effort to create and adopt these plans. Finally, the Comprehensive Plan, including a Resource Management Plan component, will be adopted and the implementation efforts needed to make these plans become reality will begin. The city will have many partners regionally and locally — especially Lino Lakes' citizens —who will be major contributors to the successful implementation of these plans. A major responsibility for their successful implementation will rest with the city council and the leadership and stewardship it provides in guiding Lino Lakes to 2030. Good zoning and subdivision ordinances, official controls and practices, sound fiscal policies (operating and capital budgets) and constant vigilance will be required to ensure each decision and official action take by the city moves the vision and plans forward to fruition. Secondly, the vision and plans must be kept current through periodic reviews and updates (probably on a biannual basis) to ensure the vision, goals and plans reflect community desires. An objective assessment of emerging trends and realities affecting the community's progress to 2030 will be a part of this review. The future of Lino Lakes is filled with hopes and potential. Vibrant community dialogues should continue. The city council will need to make reasoned and responsible choices, and create realistic and attainable options to ensure the best and highest quality future for Lino Lakes. SPOTLIGHT on 2030 continues the process of defining, seeking and achieving what we want our community to become. 25
