Hello Everyone:

An additional Citizens Advisory Committee Meeting has been added to complete the review of Butte County General Plan 2030 Goals and Policy Development.  This meeting will take place this Thursday, October 23, 2008 at the same venue:

Butte College Cafeteria Main Campus, 3536 Butte Campus Drive from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. 

The Policy Topics from the Policy Alternatives document (see buttegeneralplan.net for link) that will be discussed are as follows (in order):

* Utilities, Services & Airports (Policy Questions 28-31)
 
* Parks & Recreation, Trails (Policy Questions 32 and 33)
 
* Natural Resources and Habitat (Policy Question 34)
 
* Green Building, Greenhouse Gases & Energy (Police Questions 35 and 36)

Please join us for the Citizens Advisory Committee’s deliberations regarding these important policy topics.  The meeting is open to the public and there will be time for you to address the Citizens Advisory Committee directly with your comments and concerns.  The Butte County Resource Conservation District will also provide a presentation on 0their role in protecting Butte County’s Natural Resources and Habitat and how the General Plan’s policies can 0positively influence this area.  Please watch the Butte County General Plan 2030 website for a meeting Agenda.

NOTE: This meeting is taking place on the same day as the Great Valley Center’s 8th Annual Sacramento Valley Forum “Mapping Our Future”, which many of you may have signed-up for.  The forum will end at 3:00 pm, which will allow ample time to drive to Butte College to attend the CAC meeting at 5:00 pm.

Also, please note that the three previous CAC meetings regarding Goals and Policies will be broadcast on Channel 11 soon (details available on our website).  The videos can also be viewed directly on our website.
