I too would like to recognize the dedication of Butte County's professional planning staff who have carried on
through crisis after crisis, preserving crucial institutional knowledge. And of the volunteer planning commission,
who bring to the process a common citizen's perspective which the professionals may otherwise overlook. This
partnership recently produced an award-winning Community Plan which has barely begun to be implemented.
Given the Board's dedication to these annual resolutions and the potential revenue influx to effect positive change, it
is time for Butte to follow other counties in creating Municipal Advisory Councils.
Unincorporated communities unable to regulate their own land use deserve formal participation in the planning
process, not merely ad-hoc public comment at its end.
