In addition to KPI objectives and targets, additional considerations that influenced the recommendations in this work plan were that the recommendations be: • Collaborative, involving input and commitment from staff, governmental, residential, and business resources; • Respectful of voluntary participation, insofar as it does not compromise the KPI objective of not "compromising the ecosystems on which we depend." • Technically viable, with solutions that reflect best practices and that have been tested and proven to work in similar context in neighboring or similar communities; • Fiscally sound with a preference for recommendations for potential budgetary items showing a positive return on investment, but with consideration for recommendations if they offer a significant benefit to community well-being; • Harmonious with existing activity to facilitate the expansion, enhancement or leveraging of previous and current local and regional planning efforts; • Long-lasting in impact, with long-term gains for the community with solutions that are replicable, sustainable, and long-lasting.
