AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE PHASE III PLAN OF THE
NORTH COAST RECOURCE PARTNERSHIP (NCRP)
Background: The North Coast Resource Partnership (NCRP) is an innovative, stakeholder-driven
collaboration among local governments, Tribes, watershed groups, and other interested partners focused
on integrated resource planning and local project implementation in California’s North Coast region.
Initiated in 2005, the NCRP engages in various planning tasks, including the development and regular
updates of the North Coast Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (NCIRWMP). The NCIRWMP
was adopted by the NCRP in 2005 and again in 2007 was updated in 2014 and represents the third
iteration (Phase III) of the NCIRWMP.
The overarching themes that have guided development, implementation, and evaluation of the
NCIRWMP are beneficial uses of water, salmonid enhancement, energy independence, climate
adaptation/mitigation, economic vitality, local autonomy, intraregional cooperation, and adaptive
management.
The NCIRWMP is by design a voluntary, non-regulatory, stakeholder-driven planning framework meant to
emphasize shared priorities and local autonomy, authority, knowledge, and approaches to achieving
Tribal, state, regional, and local priorities related to North Coast water infrastructure, watersheds, public
health, and economic vitality. The NCIRWMP focuses on areas of common interest and concern to North
Coast stakeholders and on attracting funding to the North Coast Region, and recognizes unique local
solutions in different parts of the Region.
Discussion: The City of Ukiah has received grant funding through the NCRP in an amount that exceeds
$3,500,000. As this funding will be used for water and waste water infrastructure projects, adoption of the
NCRP’s Phase III plan is necessary. The entire plan can be found at the following web address:
