Mosley speaks of pollution in Oak Creek while our leaders remain determined to encourage the problem with plans to provide a creek walk and park within City Limits. How utterly stupid can that be? Of course the up side might be all the folks will save gas by stopping at the new slop plop in Sedona and bypass Slide Rock. And Mosley thinks pollution is a problem now? Better time would be spent fixing pot holes in roads.

Hey all above. Sure hope Mr. Mosley will read all your comments since he posted his feel good article on this site. Also glad to know I’m not the only one taking issue with the article. And N Baer is correct for us to Opt Out. I’ve done it and hope all will.

@N.Baer. Oh how I wish at least one neighbor over here would heed your message. Either that or move to Canada permanently. :-)

Sedona friendly………….. they don’t know the word friendly unless its padding their agendas. Just look at the actions of city council. Me, I, me. They don’t represent those that elected them. Citizens and businesses are getting pooped all over, unless your friends with city council they stick it to you. Just like they making the in town businesses pay for the chamber and enchantment promotion. Raising the bed tax to give the money to the regional chamber should be recalled. All of them, criminal, in my opinion. So lets standup! I say lets unincorporated as Richard Saunders stated. I see the website is going up in January. I vote to unincorporated, We all be better off with the county services.

Hey is this Charles Mosly who didn’t respond to the street failure brought to his attention by that Mike Shroeder? Guess saying he’s sorry took second place to writing a column for you that glorifies his efforts at city hall. Right. That’s what we call Biz As Usual. Don’t respond to the people paying your salary but deflect. He’s got the “guvmint clintonian principle” down to an art form. Tell me again why I live and have a business here? Neighborly spirit? Lost it.

@Ben -“Opting out” aka refusing “smart” meters is all about ‘neighborly spirit.

@Steve. It makes me wonder if the only reason they keep up these meetings this time of year is to squeak by secret agendas while hardly anyone is paying attention. Also with staff, like the meetings with Karen Daines and that Chamber of Commerce Jennifer person. Just a thought.

Ben you read N. Baer comment! Think that makes his point and answers your question? What have you done to opt out?

The question about the culverts needs answering! This city is getting out of control for not performing its maintenance mandate. What are you who sit on council and city hall chairs doing? Stop wasting staff time preparing agendas on issues that you don’t have any sway over and get down to work. I know the Mayor is out of office until New Year and how about the rest of you? Close city hall down and reopen the first week of January if you can’t get stuff done. Save us the cost of heating and lighting. I’m disgusted frankly.

Sharlett, I agree with You. No one should be going in the water at oak creek during the monsoons below slide rock. Everybody knows that. Think about it. Solid people along the creek there and no out houses in sight.

A question for Mr Mosley is, why did the city stop cleaning out the culverts along the streets 2 or 3 years ago? It used to be done every year before the monsoons and then it was stopped? Now if you go down to public works and fill out a form they will do it for that house only. Why did it stop? Why?

By the way N. Baer, what does APS and opt out have to do with public works?
