Well said. You can bet that the majority of people chosen to “volunteer” all share the same agenda for what the final Community Plan should include and I could bet that there won’t be any ground shaking ideas to proactively redesign our local economy revenue streams.

Sadly, it is not just City government staff that perpetuates the same paradigm that’s existed for the past 20 years here. It is every institution that operates in the City as well. A partial list includes; the performing arts center that taxpayers approved with a $73 billion bond that still has no management in place and soon The Friends of the Posse Grounds Park will approach Council asking for funds to go forward with construction of their entertainment venue.

Unless and until such measures as “Alternate Standards” and “Administrative Waivers” are abolished, such pie in the sky illusions of an ideal revision of the Community Plan are absurd. It is the City Staff, particularly in the Department of Community Planning & Development, who continue to manipulate the engine driving mechanism of Sedona to ruination. If ever there exists a case of the tail wagging the dog, it’s Sedona city government. No matter who you have revising the Community Plan, it will revert to being the utterly useless lengthy documented “guideline” that amounts to a worthless collection of rhetorical balderdash. How amusing it must be to those who are truly in charge.

The above comments reflect my own opinions. I do not speak for others.

Yes, Mr. Zaleski, it is a pathetic joke of smoke and mirrors (again my opinion.)

The City Council MUST be joking. Community Outreach? How about simple and common sense business practices being applied to REDUCE the size and scope of the local and INCOMPETENT government?

The Left simply does not understand basic business or economics. Less government is good government!
