the Conference was no exception. We had positive feedback from

A QUESTION ON BIRD MORTALITY FROM WIND
TURBINES - Rick Miller of enXco, a wind
and solar company, has provided the source of the avian mortality
numbers with wind turbines in his PowerPoint presentation at the
Annual Conference. As Rick noted, "The data on avian mortality was
mentioned by many attendees. While there are several peer reviewed
reports that support the general conclusions presented, the most
applicable paper to the data chart I showed is found in the
14-page PDF HERE. The numbers I presented are found in the chart
on top of Page 11."

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.
Every county in California is welcome to join the
CCPCA. Every planning commissioner in the county becomes a CCPCA member
when their county joins. 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.
Please visit our Resources
page, and click to open the files and websites. We have a PDF summary of
the 2010 California Green Building Standards Code to the reference
material links. Another resource is an overview of the
Alameda County Climate Action Plan.

Please explore the website, and "Ask Us!" specific questions
you have about planning, land use, and the
CCPCA. We also encourage you to let us know of resources that you have
found to be valuable. Thank you so much for visiting!

 Welcome
to the website of the California County Planning Commissioners Association
(CCPCA).
Our mission is to educate and train
county planning commissioners.
Our Annual Conference focused on our state's
natural resources being essential in California's economic growth. All
levels of local government will need vast amounts of economic growth to
emerge successfully from California's current
financial crises.
The CCPCA Annual Conference is the
responsiblity of the current President, and I was fortunate to have
excellent volunteers and presenters to help make the Conference productive
for attendees. It's been a challenge and an honor working with everyone
this year in addressing our mission.
