The November 3 town Council meeting will address how to irrigate the 36 hole golf courses. There are three options on the table that are presented on the agenda. I briefly discuss these options and encourage you to listen and on November 3 for the town Council meeting. These capital expenditures are expensive and will probably need to go forward with one of the options presented, or a variation.

Today Dick Thaler and myself will be discussing a rezoning that took place several years ago at Stone Canyon. No one in the community knew about the town's efforts to rezone the Ritz Carlton resort property. This rezoning was not recognized until a developer wanted to build assisted living in the middle of the Stone Canyon housing development. This is an interesting story and it could happen to your community.

Gayle Mateer, President of Preserve Vistoso, talks about how the community came together to preserve the old golf course. This is a good template for other communities to work with on issues that are affecting them.  Mike Ford gave us the financial detail's, but without the community support none of this would've ever happened. It's a great story.

This is a great interview with Mike Ford from The Conservation Fund. Mike talks about the structure of the deal and how the Oro Valley community can support this valuable acquisition. Currently, they need pledges of $1.8 million to complete the purchase. You can go to the conservation website to help fund this acquisition.

This is a short recap of the town Council meeting on September 22, 2021. If you want to hear the entire meeting go to the Oro Valley website and meetings and agendas.
