GOALS	GLENN COUNTY GENERAL PLAN 2007 - 2027
	Services & Facilities The provision of public services and facilities is directly tied to land use and growth, circulation, housing, and economic development. Section 65302(b) of the Government Code requires the circulation element to address existing and proposed public utilities and facilities. Because the location and distribution of new public facilities is dependent on established land use patterns, the issue of public services and facilities should be correlated with the land use element. Public services and facilities are discussed in Section 4.5 of the Environmental Setting Technical Paper and Section 5.0 of the Community Development Issue Paper.
	The availability of adequate public services is critical to the County's economic development effort, and is touched upon in Section 5.3.5, Economic Development, as well as in this section. In addition to the implementation measures and priorities established in this section, the Capital Improvements Plan prepared for this General Plan addresses needed capital facilities, financing methods, and project priorities.
	There are a multitude of public service providers in Glenn County, including community services districts, irrigation districts, public utility districts, fire districts, school districts, and other special districts. These districts are self-governing and are not subject to County control. The County must coordinate its plans for growth and development with these districts in order to ensure that services can be provided on a timely basis to areas planned for development, including areas within urban limit lines.
	As part of the General Plan, level of service standards have been established for public services. It is intended that these standards be used to evaluate the impact of development on the various services and to evaluate distribution and expansion needs.
