    logo_verde_river_basin_partnershipCottonwood AZ (March 5, 2014) – On Wednesday, March 19th at 10:30 a.m., the Verde River Basin Partnership (Partnership) is sponsoring a presentation titled, “Constraints on the County’s Involvement in Water Issues” focusing on Yavapai County’s level of involvement with land use and water planning.

    A knowledgeable panel composed of Yavapai County Supervisor Thomas Thurman, Yavapai County Supervisor Chip Davis, and Yavapai County Development Services Director Steve Mauk will give the presentation.

    It will be held in the Verde Room at the Yavapai County Administration Building, 10 South 6th Street in Cottonwood.

    “Whiskey’s for Drinkin’ and Water’s for Fightin’.” It’s become clear that everyone in Yavapai County is in this fray no matter where you live. Every level of government is involved ­ federal, state, county, and even cities and towns. Each level of government is empowered with different kinds of authority for land use and water planning. Come hear directly from two of Yavapai County’s Supervisors and the County’s Development Services Director about how county government can be involved.

    One of the topics will be the pros and cons of Senate Bill 1575 which allows counties, cities and towns to require new subdivisions to have adequate water supplies to be approved. Others will include wildcat subdivisions and runaway lot splits and what can be done about them. Following the presentation, there will be time for questions and answers.

    Steve Mauk is the Director of Yavapai County Development Services. His department developed the Yavapai County Comprehensive Plan (known in past years as the County General Plan) and the Verde Valley Regional Land Use Plan.
