The County submitted a consolidated application with the Joint Exercise of Power to receive funding under Proposition 50 in June 2006. Under the guidelines of the grant, the County must support the IRWMP to be eligible to accept the funding. After a motion to support the IRWMP failed on November 21, 2006, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to refer the discussion back to the Water Commission. Subsequently, the approval for funding the application at $12.5 million has been obtained from the funding agencies with $2.9 million designated for Butte County projects. At their April 3, 2007 meeting, the Water Commission voted unanimously to recommend the Board of Supervisors support the IRWMP - action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND DIRECT STAFF TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROPOSITION 50 GRANT AWARD.

County Counsel reviewed 17 similar ordinances enacted in numerous California counties with significant agricultural production and policies of protection of agricultural lands.
