Committee seeks volunteers for USBR watershed plan; notes $380,000 Phase 2 early-actions agreement
Summary
The committee discussed forming a steering committee and subcommittees for the USBR Comprehensive Watershed Master Plan, asked members to recruit roughly 24 participants, and noted an informational update that a Phase 2 early-actions agreement tied to a $380,000 town request has been approved with county facilitation.
Committee Chair Howard Buchanan described the USBR Comprehensive Watershed Master Plan (CWMP) work and proposed forming a steering committee and three subcommittees to guide the process.
Buchanan outlined the organizational structure sought for a sustainable effort and asked the Sonoita Creek Flood and Flow Study Committee and community members to recruit participants for a monitoring plan committee, a technical advisory committee, and a watershed restoration planning committee. He said the committee is seeking at least about 24 people to help guide the process.
The meeting notes also state that Phase 2 was explained and that an early-actions agreement tied to a $380,000 town request has been approved with facilitation by the county; the transcript presents that as information to be placed on a future agenda rather than as a matter voted on during this meeting.
Committee members were asked to identify volunteers and expertise for monitoring, restoration planning, and technical review and to be prepared to discuss recruitment at the May 14 meeting.
