Other Policy Plans The Comprehensive Plan refers to other policy plans that the city uses to plan and construct municipal systems (e.g. sanitary sewer, water supply and distribution, and surface water management), to make investments, and to carry out actions. These plans include the Comprehensive Transportation Plan, Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan, Comprehensive Water Supply and Distribution Plan, Parks, Natural /Open Space, Greenways and Trail System Plan, Local Surface Water Management Plan, and EDAC's Economic Development Plan. These plans are ongoing implementation tools for achieving the vision and goals presented in this Plan by providing policies and actions for the city to follow in its decision making. Capital Improvement Plan The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) addresses future needs in the areas of infrastructure extension and replacement, municipal buildings and facilities, park improvements, and equipment replacement. The CIP includes project descriptions, cost estimates, financial resources and cash flow analyses. The CIP, while adopted annually, is a work in progress, and must be reviewed and revised in order to stay viable. The CIP will serve as the foundation upon which future CIPs may be developed and refined. As conditions change, the City must be prepared to adjust to and accommodate such changes within the CIP. The city's current 2008 — 2012 CIP is provided in Appendix F. The city will review its existing CIP and prepare its 2009 — 2012 CIP by the end of 2008. The capital improvement planning process that occurs this fall will assess the plans and programs recommended in the Comprehensive Plan and incorporate the recommendations as appropriate. Intergovernmental Coordination Implementing the Plan will require continued coordination with many municipalities, counties, agencies and organizations. Lino Lakes is: • within or adjacent to three counties (Anoka, Washington, and Ramsey), • adjacent to 10 municipalities (Centerville, Hugo, White Bear Township, North Oaks, Shoreview, Circle Pines, Blaine, Ham Lake, Columbus, and Forest Lake), • within three school districts (Centennial School District No. 12, Forest Lake Independent School District No. 831, and White Bear Lake Independent School District No. 624), • within two watershed districts (Rice Creek Watershed District and Vadnais Lakes Area Watershed Management Organization) • served by two interstates (I -35W and I -35E) and numerous county roads • served by the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve and regional trails Continued coordination with these entities is integral to ensuring implementation of this Plan. Public Education and Outreach The planning process started with a community survey and the citizen's of Lino Lakes being provided the opportunity to participate in a citizen led visioning process. The entire Lino Lakes community will be affected by the Comprehensive Plan and the public's involvement in supporting and helping achieve the Plan's vision and goals is critical to its successful implementation. The City has several public education and outreach tools available including the City website www.ci.lino- lakes.mn.us, the City newsletter, special mailings and publications, public hearings, community or neighborhood meetings, and special task forces and advisory panels. These tools will be used to involve the public in implementing the Plan. 11 -2 • •
