I am disappointed in the CVS debacle on the corner of Airport Road. That road supports more weight and volume than its designed for, and like the Page highway it could collapse. No development should be allowed at that intersection period unless its an office center. Then it would function during regular business hours, not attract loiterers or drug addicts or crime and no high density lighting and trash issues.

We have too many pharmacies in town now. There should be concern that with the new healthcare system, these style of pharmacies will fade away and government dispensaries will become the norm with mailed prescriptions and government run distribution centers. Then what Sedona? You’ve banked on funds that will disappear.

You do know that Walgreen’s center is leaving Flagstaff? Check it out.

That is GREAT that some people will stand up to the city and chamber using their real names. Thank you to all that did. STOP the corruption and misuse of taxpayers money. Vote no.

Who are these people?

Vote yes.. vote no
But beware were the information comes from and who is writing it

This has been a fraud finder alert and all my opinion

File Number: -1066961-2 Corp. Name: SEDONA LODGING COUNCIL, INC.

Notices of Pending Administrative Dissolution

Administrative Dissolutions and Reinstatements

04/12/11 AD-DISSOLVED – FILE A/R

REINSTATEMENT DATE: 08/26/2013

TRANSLATION: After falling into delinquent status in 02/05/2010, the Sedona Lodging Council was dissolved 04/12/11 until the Reinstatement Date of 08/26/13 which was just short of one year ago, during which time the bed tax increase was approved by City Council with 55% return granted to the Sedona Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of a contract for Destination Marketing. During those Council Meetings, Steve Segner was highly visible and stated on more than one occasion: “Just trust us” referring to how the Chamber/Lodging Council intended to spend the amount of over one million dollars which was at stake.

During the first half of 2013 at which time consideration was given to both a sales tax and bed tax increase, the Sedona Lodging Council was, indeed, not reflected in the records of the Arizona Corporation Commission as a valid registered corporation because they weren’t. Therefore the references made in Sedona Eye were accurate. If the purpose of the recent comment posted above was to infer that was not the case, it simply isn’t true.

One might wonder. Was the timing of the date of the Arizona Corporation Commission reinstatement of the Sedona Lodging Council just a convenient coincidence?

here’s what i was talking about above

Really like your site!

One of these Sedona Council people is an employee of a renter in the Village of Oak Creek.
Renter being the Hilton. Hilton is not a landowner. Therefore, not a stakeholder.

He sits on the Sedona Lodging Council.
He also casts a vote with the Big Park Council as “Sedona Village” lodging Association with two other people. Look it up.
The Sedona Village Lodging Association does not exist with the Arizona Corporation Commission or anywhere on the internet.
Yet that one vote negates half of the Village of Oak Creek, the VOCA vote in the amount of 4000 people.
You want to talk about games and bull***t?

These people need to be reigned in. I’m calling the Hilton Home Office. Time for a transfer….

To better serve the needs of its members, the chamber has been sponsoring affinity groups that represent various sectors of Sedona’s business community. Representing the needs of 1,000 individual members is nearly impossible, but representing the interests of a dozen groups, each with a unified vision, makes it possible for the chamber to not only address each sector’s needs more effectively but also to represent its vision and business interests in the chamber’s marketing efforts.

The affinity groups are:
Sedona Metaphysical Spiritual Association
Sedona Events Alliance
Sedona Gallery Association
Sedona Lodging Council

What’s missing? Verification of 1000 members within Sedona City Limits to prove the over one million dollars of Sedona tax money is being spent to advertise those businesses collecting the taxes. Those businesses within City Limits. NOT competing businesses out of City Limits that are reaping in the benefit of Sedona’s tax money.

In order to support the concept of full disclosure, which we are all entitled to – and as one of the 300 recipients of the following email, I have cut and pasted the entire email from Steve Segner, in its entirety, who is the President of the Sedona Lodging Council which is an ” affinity” by-product of our (Regional) Chamber of Commerce, which I believe is a 501c3?…and that status does not allow for political statements or actions in any election . Read on and…make your own decisions

“Dear SLC,

I am sending this message as a personal message, and the thoughts herein are not the expressed consensus of any organization that I belong to.

Some of us had the opportunity to meet with all the candidates for Mayor and City Council. Now, we can use your help. Keep in mind that the candidates cannot receive donations from businesses so all contributions must be done on a personal basis.

First of all, the mayoral race is very clear. Vote for Sandy Moriarty. Sandy has been and will continue to be a business supporter and has been an advocate for the Chamber of Commerce for many years. Furthermore, when we asked Cliff Hamilton about destination marketing and our efforts over the last 18 months, he said, “the jury is still out. In my opinion, this is a grand experiment.” I believe he already has plans for what that money could be used for in the future.

The council election is not as cut and dry. Many of the candidates understood the value of tourism and the importance of marketing Sedona to be competitive in the tourism marketplace. Here’s my take on the candidates. While we really liked Tom Lamkin, he is new to the community and is not accepting contributions. Without an advertising campaign, we are not sure if he could get elected. Jerry Frey did not show up for our meeting. Robert O’Donnell is very interested in smart meters and has made that a focal point to his campaign. Therefore, based on our meetings, I will be supporting (personally) the following candidates:

Sandy Moriarty: http://www.mayorsandy.com

Angela LeFevre: http://www.AngelaforSedona.com Scott Jablow: http://www.jablowforcitycouncil.com Rio Robson: rio@sonsilverwest.com Ron Budnick:rvbudnick@sprintmail.com

These candidates need your financial support. Please consider donating $50 or $100 to each of these candidates. Their websites or email addresses are listed above.

Call me if there is any other information you need.

Guess Steve S can write what ever he wants to — just like I can.

These are the candidates I can support = Rio and Tom Lamkin, Cliff for mayor as he is much less a socialistic than Sandy. what ever the Sedona Lodging Council (SLC) promotes? ………….just watch their self serving motivations. I’ll support Tom Lamkin and Jerry Frey and Robert O’Donnell.
