APPENDIX 1: IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS SUGGESTED IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS

This section identifies implementation actions that the City will have to undertake to assist in achieving the vision, goals, and a wide range of other OCP policies following or in coordination with the priority actions identified in Table D-7 Implementation Priorities. Figure D-1 in the body of the plan illustrates how the OCP will be integrated into City of Courtenay strategic and financial planning, and corporate culture. It identifies that from the numerous policies and actions contained within the OCP, Council sets strategic priorities for their term to guide department work plans, the five year Financial Plan, and annual budgets. The intent of this table is to guide the City in initiating implementation actions when resources such as staffing or funding are adequately allocated in accordance with the municipal government corporate decision making cycle. Identified actions correspond to the 'work plan' policies identified throughout the OCP. They are organized by City department assigned to lead the action item, in order to represent how OCP implementation will affect the various municipal services. Most City services are coordinated through a number of departments, therefore regardless of the department leading the action, they will work closely with relevant departments. For example, few of the OCP work plan action items are assigned to Financial Services directly, but Financial Services must be involved in all City decisions that have budget implications. As departmental responsibilities may change over time, this table is only meant to serve as a guide.

The City of Courtenay departments are as follows: • Development Services • Engineering Services • Public Works Services • Corporate Services

• Financial Services • Recreation, Culture, and Community Services

• Interdepartmental committees may also be used when actions require leadership across a variety of departments
