St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 10:Implementation <br />ൢ൩ൣ <br />CHAPTER 10: IMPLEMENTATION <br />Without a specific course of action, it is difficult to achieve the goals and <br />aspirations of any plan. Previous chapters of this document provide the <br />baseline information for understanding the community and the determined <br />goals for the community’s future. The goals explain what the community <br />wants to accomplish, and the vision desired as an outcome. This chapter <br />outlines the process to work toward achieving those goals. <br />Often, the most challenging part of the Comprehensive Plan is <br />implementation. It is easy to complete a document, and then watch it collect <br />dust on a shelf. To increase the likelihood of its implementation, the <br />following Implementation Matrix provides priorities to follow over the first 5 <br />to 10 years after plan adoption. This can be used to complete an annual <br />work plan and contribute to a capital improvement program. The <br />implementation steps should be reviewed by the City periodically (annually <br />or more often) to: <br />x Establish priority work activities for city staff and volunteers (and <br />for city partner organizations) on an annual basis, <br />x Establish priorities for annual city budget (and for city partner <br />organization budgets), <br />x Establish priorities for 5-year capital improvement expense <br />plans. <br />VISION STATEMENT <br />The implementation action items outlined in this chapter should ultimately <br />reinforce St. Anthony’s Mission, Vision and Strategic Initiatives. The <br />Strategic Initiative themes are broad and touch every aspect of city activity <br />and city life. No aspect of this Comprehensive Plan and its ultimate <br />implementation will be at odds with the City’s Mission, Vision and Strategic <br />Initiatives.
