Policies & Implementation

The Policies & Implementation chapter is organized by plan topic and includes the following information for each policy:

• The “Type” column classifies each policy by function. For example, some policies may recommend a new process or procedure, a change to an existing process or procedure, and others may recommend a new ordinance to update the municipal code.
• The “Responsible Party” column lists the City departments, key organizations, or other groups responsible for or participating in policy implementation. If more than one responsible party is listed, bold text will indicate the primary responsibility.
• The “Start By” column specifies the time frame during which implementation of each policy will begin. Higher priority and low barrier policies will be acted on sooner.
  The four options in this column are:
  • 2023: The Responsible Parties would start work any time between plan adoption and the end of 2023. These are the highest priority projects;
  • 2026: Work would begin before the end of 2026;
  • 2029: Work would begin before the end of 2029;
  • Ongoing: May apply to policy decisions the City abides by or actions that are continually done.

The list of indicators is designed to help monitor progress toward adaptokc goals. Indicators that are existing Leading For Results measures are noted with (LFR).

Baseline year for each indicator is listed in the description and are identified by Calendar Year (CY), Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) or Fiscal Year (FY); the City’s fiscal year runs July 1 through June 30 while the FFY runs October 1 through September 30.

Indicators are grouped in two categories: external and internal.

Indicators will be reported on every five years to gauge the effectiveness of actions taken to implement adaptokc initiatives.
