In the event a dispute arises between an owner of an agricultural operation and a resident (or residents) in or about the locality thereof as to whether a particular agricultural operation constitutes a nuisance, an interested party shall submit a written request to the agricultural advisory committee to act as a mediator in such dispute. The agricultural advisory committee may decline any such request to consider or issue an advisory opinion or establish a subcommittee that would meet in a closed door session to mediate the dispute. The subcommittee shall consist of five agricultural advisory committee members: two ex-officio members and three voting members.

    The agricultural advisory committee may request technical assistance from county agencies, departments, private industry, or the general public in the course of investigating and evaluating any dispute. (Ord. 2000-61 § 1 (part): prior gen. code § 3-312.2)
