NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the Butte County Board of Supervisors makes the following findings:
1. The Board of Supervisors finds that the location of the public improvements in this case, the Lower Centerville
Embankment Failure Project, isnot based primarily mmaconsideration ofthe lower cost ofacquiring land im
an agricultural preserve. There is no other location vvhama the repairs to this road could be built, and the
consideration of the cost of acquiring land in an agricultural preserve did not play a role imacquiring the land
The Board finds that there is no other land within or outside of the agricultural preserve on which it is
reasonably feasible to locate the public improvements. The, roadway repairs, must connect up to the currently
existing Centerville Road, and they can only do so if they are located in the proposed location.
