89th Annual CCPCA Conference October 25-26, 2019 - Butte County

Fire and Water: Critical issues in planning for California's future

The 2019 annual conference was held in Butte County, at downtown Chico's Hotel Diamond on Friday October 25, followed by the traditional Saturday Field Trip which this year toured Paradise and Oroville, and concluding with an evening banquet at the California State Park Visitor Center on the grounds of the historic Bidwell Mansion.

The primary focus of this year's conference was a review of the devastating Camp Fire which struck the community of Paradise on November 8. 2018, and an offering of planning perspectives for fire safety.

A special session this year provided an overview presentation of planning roles and responsibilities, with a roundtable discussion valuable to both new and experienced commissioners alike.

Participants also received presentations regarding the California State Water Project, and the Oroville Dam where the spillways have recently been reconstructed after suffering water damage in 2017. More Details

CCPCA Wants You To Know More About Planning

The California County Planning Commissioners Association provides educational resources and events for planning commissioners, staff, elected officials and the general public. To effectively perform their duties, planning commissioners engage in a continual learning process. Assisting in that learning process, CCPCA focuses on California's current and future challenges in planning, land use and resource management.

Mission of CCPCA

The motto of the California County Planning Commissioners Association is "Knowledge Through Education." Our mission is to help educate and inform those who serve on county planning commissions throughout California. We also work with planning staff, elected officials, NGOs and the general public.

Membership

Every county planning commissioner throughout the state of California is a CCPCA member. Each California county is asked to submit a voluntary dues payment annually, which enables its commissioners' voting privileges within the organization. We are not an advocacy group, but rather, as our mission defines, we promote "Knowledge Through Education" and thereby help serve the interests of the people of California.
