@west sedona resident I am a retired SCC served 4 years. I completely disagree with you. Ms Maddock has with neutrality always reported the facts. Your continuous attacks only show you have a personal agenda. Whatever personal issues you have with Ms. Maddock need to come off the grid as her strong following sees right through it. Our City Manager’s office has arbitration as you know. Please work through your private issues, privately.

Well WSR – you finally got something correct: “It’s a democracy” which allows not only elected officials to take action but also offers the opportunity for others to speak up and finger point if they so choose due to the opportunity for freedom of expression.

Because you are so miserable in reading anything that opposes your own thinking, why is it you waste your time checking on what any of us write on Sedona Eye since you hate it so much. You must surely enjoy your self inflicted misery.

The day you proudly and with honor make your real identity known – then maybe, just maybe what you spew out in writing from your own computer might have some credibility. Until then you are nothing more than a big-mouthed blow hard that enjoys your own type of self-punishment.

Your time might be better spent with a shrink. But thank you for letting me know how easy it is to keep you in misery. Makes my day.

@West Sedona Resident please take your attacks elsewhere. The more you post the clearer it gets that you are JESSICA. You are not doing a good job JW.

@ESM

LOOK AT ME……LOOK AT ME…….LOOK AT ME…..

Seems to be your mentalitity ESM

Why is that so difficult for you to understand Those elected officials actually stood up and did something to become involed in something whether you agree or disagree … It’s a democracy, you chose to point fingers as you sit at your computer writing posts , putting your picture up as you point fingers…
Your part of the problem….not the solution

Warren, thank you so much for resurrecting this under the post you made on my recent review of the proposed consideration for a sustainable pilgrimage site in Sedona. That meeting was on October 27th and I believe a special meeting the following day included a review of council, staff, and public roles in local government.

Having caught but only a small portion of that meeting, what I did hear convinced me to take time and listen to more when I have the chance. Both the new city manager and city attorney, also new to Sedona, were gently attempting to clue council members in that at least some of them are apparently confusing staff on what duties they are to perform by over-indulging in too many personal contacts. How many masters is city staff supposed to serve?

That, of course, is based on an extremely narrow observation of only a slim portion of the meeting but current events will inspire me to check it out more thoroughly.

The community plan, a state-mandated document, was never intended to serve as anything more than a suggested guideline every ten years. Clearly this council doesn’t get that concept and will trash basic necessities for health and safety for their own translations of the ambiguous missing link to this trilogy – that being “welfare.” Therein lies the mysterious conclusion that “welfare” is an invitation for them to interject their me, me, me, I, I, I, think mentality that they were elected to be judge and jury for the masses – including the entire Verde Valley.

The future should remain in the hands of legitimate voting Sedona residents and not manipulated in accordance to the whims of those who do not seem to understand the limitations of their elected positions. Why is that so difficult to grasp?

City Planning? Gates to the town with classes on environmental agendas??? Seriously? People moved here to be left alone. Now a group of wanna-be’s are trying to “tax-and-spend” us all. Fire them all.. we truly do not need or want them.

The problem is, you have too many city employees with nothing to do, so they sit around and think of ways to spend money. What a job, you go to meetings, make plans and supervise something that was not needed.

The solution, cut staff or eliminate the City of Sedona.

To all those who participated in the Delphi Technique sessions — oh, I mean community planning meetings — please tell us all which great “dreams” were yours. What genius came up with “underground parking”? Or “neighborhood compost piles”?

I think Mr. Woodward should have attended the many, many, many meetings that were held BEFORE the plan was submitted. He obviously lives to criticize everything, but does not bother to attend meetings!
