At the October 22, 2013 City Council meeting, Mayor Rob Adams announced that the City of Sedona will join municipalities across the state of Arizona, and take part in the League of Arizona Cities & Towns’ 12th annual Cities & Towns Week from October 20-26, 2013. The entire community of Sedona is encouraged to learn more this week about the services and programs that the City offers to improve the quality of life in our community.

“Our City employees works around the clock to provide vital services to make Sedona a safe and exceptional place to live, work and play,” said Mayor Adams. “Participating in Cities & Towns Week offers our community an important opportunity to join together with cities and towns across the state to highlight local government’s essential contribution to our citizen’s daily lives.”

Cities & Towns Week is set aside each year to provide citizens with important information about the services and programs provided by their city/town, and to recognize the employees that deliver them. For more information on the City, please visit http://www.SedonaAZ.gov.

What a novel concept considering the City Council based on their own discretion (complimented by Staff recommendation) just approved a million $$+ contract with the Chamber of Commerce for Destination Marketing minus any such competitive bidding. Also “plans and specifications” remain conspicuous by absence.

At least we now know some folks at City Hall are actually aware that such a system of competitive bidding actually exists.
