At the local level it is particularly important, however, to keep close contact with that long vision because that is where relevant program delivery is most crucial. There are certainly no time or resources to waste in addressing the environmental issues we face locally. There are nineteen programs occupying twenty staff people in the Environmental Protection Services Division of the Weld County Health Department. The goals, objectives and strategies in this plan were identified through numerous discussions with citizens representing diverse interests and concerns in Weld County. In addition to input from private citizens, the Division staff identified environmental issues and concerns with effective delivery of current programs. This document takes all that input and outlines the functions of the Division, identifies the long term objectives to guide the Division into the Twenty-first Century and establishes specific strategies with immediate and short-term actions. This document is organized into twelve areas of function. Each section begins with a broad goal that outlines a general purpose of the Division. These twelve areas include protection and preservation of air and water quality. Consumer protection is addressed with attention given to disease prevention. In addition, environmental planning and future impacts from land use practices are addressed. Finally, building capacity in local communities to address environmental concerns is outlined. Each of the twelve goals is followed by objectives. These are objectives that are expected to be monitored on a regular basis. This will provide a mechanism whereby program effectiveness can be evaluated. Also, the measurement of these objectives will provide a basis for making policy and setting program direction. The objectives establish desired outcomes for the Year 2000 and will mark our progress along the way. The Strategic Program Plan also provides for on going evaluation of its goals, objectives and strategies. It is essential to collaborate with the community on a regular basis to assure that Division programs are relevant and effective in meeting their needs. Finally, the Strategic Program Plan, establishes specific program activities that the Division will complete to achieve the goals and objectives. They prescribe specific time frames or frequencies and the responsible programs and staff. They are activities in which the Division will be engaged during the next one to three years. With the inclusion of these practical actions, the Strategic Program Plan provides the community, as well as Division staff, with a clear vision of how our daily activities affect the health of the environment and the residents of Weld County.
