WESTPORT ACTION PLAN - 2004
Action Plan 12-0- 109 Spring, 2004
12.0 Action Plan The actions listed below represent suggestions and recommendations to be considered by the indicated boards, commissions and departments. Although in some cases quite specific, they represent a starting point; the Master Plan Committee fully expects that changes and improvements will result through board and commission review and suggestions that arise during the public hearing process. Certain suggested actions, such as Board of Health regulation and subdivision regulation changes, fall under the regulatory authority of Town boards and commissions, and may be enacted by those bodies, generally after a public hearing. Other more extensive actions such as re-zoning require, in addition to a public hearing, approval by Town meeting.
The recommended actions are also to encourage cooperation among various Town Boards, Commissions, Committees, and Departments to protect, preserve, and develop cultural, natural, and economic resources for the future of Westport. The proposed actions are organized generally by the Goals and Objectives presented in each of the Planning Element chapters. They represent an assessment of what actions need to be taken and by which Town governing body.
This chapter assembles the recommended actions from each Element of the Plan and organizes them first by element, then by suggested time frame:
1 = Immediate Actions to be implemented within one year--may be on-going. 2 = Short-Term Actions to be begun within one year and accomplished within 3 years. 3 = Medium Term Actions to be accomplished within five years. 4 = Long Term. Actions to be accomplished within ten years.
For a graphical description of the major points of this Action Plan, please refer to Map 12-1, the Action Plan map. In Table 12-1 below, the parties responsible for implementing each action are designated according to the following codes:

WESTPORT ACTION PLAN - 2004
Action Plan 12-0- 110 Spring, 2004
It is widely recognized that "town planning" is an activity that is performed by all sectors of a community: public and private, groups and individuals. This Master Plan has benefited from the participation of a broad spectrum of individuals and organizations in its creation.
Westport has numerous active civic and non-profit organizations that play important roles in the various areas covered by this Master Plan, according to their interests and expertise. The Action Plan portion of this Master Plan is chiefly concerned with the role of Town government; therefore, the lead agency or agencies in this Action Plan are Town departments, boards, and commissions. There are several additional reasons for this:
1. The Town does not have the authority to assign actions to private organizations, which are usually governed by Boards of Directors;
2. Most of the responsibilities and authority granted by statute to governmental agencies cannot be delegated to private organizations;
3. Private organizations may come into existence, and then be disbanded, leaving their assigned actions unfinished. 4. Even other governmental agencies, such as the regional planning agency, SRPEDD, or
the Economic Development Commission, cannot be assigned actions by the Town.
The Master Plan Update Committee therefore would like to recognize the significant contributions that these organizations make to the Town, and expects that the Town's lead agency or responsible party for each action will seek assistance and advice from the appropriate civic and non-profit organizations and other levels of government.
