          (2) The strategic initiatives plan shall include at a minimum the following elements:  (a) Implementation schedule; (b) analysis of alternatives; (c) employee education and communication strategies regarding plan implementation; (d) an analysis of costs, benefits, and full time equivalents; and (e) a recommendation for a preferred alternative.

          (3) The department may use up to $50,000 of the motor vehicle fund‑-state appropriation, and $50,000 of the highway safety fund‑-state appropriation provided for in this section for the development of the workplan and a strategic initiatives plan.
