2. Institutionalize the planning process. • Codify the process and timeframe for updating the plan and define a process for monitoring the implementation progress through a resolution or local law. 3. Define the future role of the sustainability advisory board. Depending on how the sustainability advisory board was structured when it was established, it might be necessary to redefine the role of the board following the release of the plan. Some lo- cal governments choose to "sun-shine" their advisory boards and work with an existing entity, such as a citizens advisory panel, to monitor the implementation of the plan. Others choose to leave the board intact, but change its focus towards facilitating or monitoring the implementa- tion of the plan. 4. Coordinate with a coalition of advocacy groups. • Whether a coalition of stakeholders forms organically, through the coordination of the sustain- ability advisory board (or even the local government itself), it is useful to form an alliance of stakeholder groups who can support the implementation of the plan at the community level. • The sustainability advisory board should plan an active role in forming this coalition and defin- ing the vision and mission of the coalition, if such an organization doesn't already exist. a The coalition should have an overarching goal to support the implementation of the plan and to make sure the plan remains relevant through future political administrations. • Work with the coalition to develop a public education and outreach campaign, to continue to educate the public about sustainability and climate change issues, or to focus outreach on a specific measure to build public support.
