Regarding soil stabilization, we have a Stormwater inspector actively visiting the site doing post-rain inspections.Mr. Turner stated that attendees were from Sahuarita, Nogales, Marana, Tucson, Pima County and Oro Valley. We now know who to contact if we have a significant event that requires some sort of cross jurisdictional coordination.Mr. Turner stated that the Canada Hills HOA had an interest in building a pilot channel. We recommended that they put in gabions for bank protection instead. Public Works Assistant Director Aimee Ramsey stated that if they do the gabions for bank protection the 404 permit would not be needed.This meeting was attended by Stormwater Division Manager Mike Todnem.Mr. Turner stated these meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month and that he will look into whether the August meeting has been cancelled.
