Councilors beware of spending your money on tourism and infrastructure to lure them in because a few bad storms, earthquakes, mudslides, fires, and Sedona residents are holding the payment due while the tourists go other places. Let us slowly absorb growth, discourage any but unimpeded ancient red rock views and quality high end growth because Disneyland & Vegas & Phoenix & Grand Canyon are a few hours drive away and those people don’t Buy Sedona.

On May 18, 2019, Major Disaster Declaration FEMA-4434-DR-CA was approved for the State of California for severe winter storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides that occurred February 24 to March 1, 2019
Provides:
Public Assistance for Amador, Butte, Colusa, Del Norte, El Dorado, Glenn, Humboldt, Lake, Marin, Mariposa, Mendocino, Monterey, Napa, Sonoma, Tehama, Trinity and Tuolumne counties
Hazard Mitigation statewide
The FCO is Benigno Bern Ruiz

Don’t forget, Sedona grants the City Manager a $6000 per year car allowance and the Assistant City Manager a $5000 per year car allowance.

Lets be consistent, and generous, give them a $200 Walmart bike, and end their car allowances. We want everyone to use mass transit, right?

I want to see Jessica lead by example. I think she and the other city council that vote for this insanity agree to walk or ride their bikes everywhere. No use of private cars at any time. No matter if there is 100 degree weather, rain, snow, our fine council will be walking or riding their bikes. Jessica and (J)ablow, ride your bikes to the market and see if your food has spoiled by the time you get home.

I second Sedona Law firm’s proposal.

I have NEVER seen any councilor or city staff using a bike or golf cart to get back and forth to meetings and work or for that matter a social or leisure activity.

You ALL are inadequate and unacceptable as role models and as intelligent forward planners. Save us your interference in our modes of transport! You are inept.

We the people DEMAND that city hall staff and councilors spend THREE MONTHS (JUNE JULY AUGUST) SOLELY USING BICYCLES OR SCOOTERS OR VERDE LYNX OR YOUR FEET TO GET AROUND TOWN AND YOU MUST USE ADOT DESIGNATED LANES AND SIDEWALKS TO TEST YOUR PROPOSED IDEAS IN REAL TIME AND NOT VIRTUAL REALITY FOR TAXPAYER FUNDS. Health and age are not reasons for lack of participation! Nor is the need to grocery shop and carry items – get a bike basket and plan accordingly. NOR IS WEATHER. You all must 24/7 when within city limits. Those that live outside city limits must park at city limits and proceed from there.

THEY MUST KEEP LOG BOOKS OF TIME AND DAY PLUS HOURS USED AND ALL LOCATIONS ACCESSED. THESE LOGS ARE TO BE MADE PUBLIC AT EACH CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND DISCUSSED. PAY FOR COUNCILORS SHOULD BE CONTINGENT ON SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF THIS TASK.

Better yet let’s get it on the ballot that city staff and city government must adhere to all rules and laws passed during their tenure or face a fine of $1000 a day which can be a lien against their city owned personal or business properties and or jail for one year of every 30 day failure to follow the law with $5,000 fine.

I can’t wait to see all those 80 year old going around Tlaq & the Y on their bikes.

Good job city & chamber. No solutions just tax and spend.

It makes me chuckle every time I see a camper @Jan W. because it’s more proof of how foolish the bogus money giveaway to the Chamber of Sedona crap really is. Yup all the campers headed to Oak Creek Canyon via Sedona.

Of course, today as was reported it would happen there were delays on 179 because of road repairs which also became necessary to probably a large extent because of frivolous amount of money amateurs at the “chamber” (of what?) wastes on stupid advertising.

Enjoy while you can, greed mongers. Nothing lasts forever. It will be a grand day if and when you are busted for what appears to look more and more like shell game activities. Maybe all this wind today is Karma sending a message? We can only hope.

Are you claiming 70 plus year old Sedona residents only live off HWY 179 ?@Alternative Modes of Transportation. Well doubt that very much.

At any rate, all over Sedona East, West, North & South —– just visualize 70 plus year old Sedona Residents AND tourists clogging the highways with three-wheelers. OMG!! At least it would be a change from campers!

I can see all the 70 plus year old Sedona residents living off HWY 179 riding up Cooks Hill on 89A in the snow or on 100 degree days to get their groceries. Maybe they can shop before 7am or after 7pm to free up the roads for tourists? Never a thought of the easy solution of LESS TOURISTS, as Sedona roads are already over capacity.

Greed and stupidity rule.
