But this new lady, looks nice, enthusiastic, and no doubt well qualified. But my question is why isn’t she on the Chamber of Commerce payroll? After all, it’s the C of C paying the professional advertising agency in Phoenix with city taxes, so why shouldn’t Molly Spangler be on their payroll as well since it will be the Chamber members, mostly outside city limits, that will be benefiting from her recommendations, even though it’s with incorporated city revenue. And won’t she be reporting primarily to Jennifer Wesselhoff anyhow? Isn’t that they way it is now in the City Manager’s office?

Agree with your ideas: city manager must feel like he just won the lottery – as he got hired by a city of only 10,000 which is only some 1,000 larger than what he left. and he left a city structure of how many employees and arrived here and now inches our employee number up including the addition of the new $$$ gal??? arrogant is the correct descriptive word for Justin.

I question the need of another employee and that causes me to also question and ask our city manager if he isn’t capable of doing the financial part? Or is he Above that lower position? concept of growing employees is just nuts!!!

And oh how I bet the city attorney wished the Red Rock News had never caught up with his looking for another job….even though our city attorney attempted to do a spin control on his employment application down south – he’s the only one who believes it.

As of late hasn’t Sedona been a short step for a lot of employees to a much better job???

anyhow, this town just wears the hell out of most of us………the council woman with the glitter in her hair, the mayor who promised only 1 term, and on and on…in my old opinion – Sedona is screwed………..YET AGAIN

What I said was a lot of stupid people on SE. Would love to see something more than that so they can blame Sedona… That’s all and I’m 100 percent correct

Agree.
City Manager came from a city with less than 9,000 people and has very little experience and is arrogant on top of that!

Looks like the City Attorney is trying to jump ship with less than a year working with the incompetent Justin Clifton

You have to try hard to not see where they are giving money to The Chamber of Commerce, The Sedona Film Festival, the Red Earth Theater and others. You have to avoid reading the headline where they are adding a “Economic Development Director”, whose job I am sure is not to reduce traffic and lower fees. A staff member whose salary will be paid by yours and my taxes, not by the Chamber of Commerce, who the City Council generously support against our will.

You have to avoid looking at the bumper to bumper traffic, tourists lost in the roundabouts and high fees in your monthly sewer bill, that was supposed to be paid through sales tax paid by tourists but keeps going up.

When the city is projected to be broke in two years not filling the “Economic Development Director” position might have been an easy place to start saving a little.

Thanks for the info

Unfortunately you just made a lot of people here very unhappy. They were looking for a reason to blame the city of Sedona for something..
