I’ve worked there and two applied but it’s ageism or damn well feels exactly like it. Students schedules are worse than anybody’s, don’t give lip service to working with our schedules are difficult and then work with kids summer schedules. Kids get $13 bucks an hour and are lazier than older workers! Older workers work smarter and work more conscientiously than younger workers and if you paid those of us in Sedona who live here year round and want to work there, you’d have an open pool at less cost. We agree that kids working lifeguards get paid more but we could be seasonal workers if asked too. Work around us and not the kids! Check it out city hall. We know it’s poor management by ParksRec. They should be licensed lifeguards working full time, not sitting at desks talking about useless program ideas and doing useless admin paperwork and never doing a honest days labor. Your website says it right – FIRST TIME IN 12 YRS. Note to city hall: Your answer is smacking you in the face.
Cottonwood Rec Center didn’t get approved because they didn’t justify cost! You don’t need Sedona kids as lifeguards there all the time. Use the same rules as the resorts. (Two Names removed as requested.)
Make your ParksRec actually work the pool fulltime! It should be part of all their jobs.
No money to pay lifeguards for a pool that is a gem in the community for those who cherish a great pool in a stunning setting, but somehow there’s $200,000 to spend on Sunset Park? Is there some virtue-signaling going on here? The local homeless peeps just love Sunset Park for its washroom facilities and shady trees to sleep under. I was nearly mugged by a bum who tried to sneak up behind me while I watched my kids play on the playground equipment. The cop who showed up knew the perp by name and said he was a regular who camped out in the local Foothills below the Airport Mesa. We need to put these crazies in a box and return Sedona to taxpayers who’ve earned the right to enjoy the fruits of Sedona loving.
With liberals in charge, soon Sedona will be another San Francisco, with poop patrols making six figure incomes and bums having more rights than taxpayers.
The socialist dream, free for everyone. They never get to the part of who pays when nobody really works. Sorry kiddies, going to meetings is not real work.
Mike H says: bums having more rights than taxpayers.
Yes Mike paying a tax does not give you anymore rights the someone living on the street, this is not England in the 15 century. Property rights do not make you special.
Welcome to the new Sedona.
Bruce B. Says: We need to put these crazies in a box and return Sedona to taxpayers who’ve “earned the right” to enjoy the fruits of Sedona loving. So Bruce “you are special” because you earned you way to live in Sedona is that how it works?
Being a tax payer give you special rights ,if it did the tourists would have superior rights that pay way more in city taxes then you, and people living on the street need help not your scorn.
“earned the right” to enjoy the fruits of Sedona living, this is so sick……..Sedona Citizen ship is not earned it is a right to everyone even visitors. You see a homeless man in the park and you call the cops? did the police say this person attacks people? No ,that person just did not earned the right” to enjoy the fruits of Sedona.
You both must be a Atheists and follow Ayn Rand because no Christian would talk that way.
@west side Sandy I’m LMAO. You definitely speak like a NON Christian because obviously you’re NOT a Christian … because then you’d know its tenants and rules and would know that your comment reflects exactly what religion you are and aren’t. God save us from hypocrites. This is about swimming, pools and those that work there. Small brains turn it into more when it’s obviously less. Swim much, Sandy, the fish brain?
Steve has his “special” view of the world, I guess. As my southern wife would say, “Well bless his heart.” Taxpayers and property owners in a community have the right to determine what they want for their quality of life. Visitors and tourists are guests in our “house”. Bums who flout our laws, abuse our services, and threaten the peace and safety of our town are parasites who need to be escorted out of town — not coddled by lefty virtue-signalers. Sedona is not going to turn into another San Francisco $$$$hole on my watch.
Visitors and tourists are guests in our “house”.
And really show me what that’s in the constitution, long before you moved here there were visitors, they were transients , there were locals who lived off the land. You have no special rights because you moved to a tourist town instead of complaining about the people who live on the street maybe you should take one in I’ll give me some money I’ll give him the job . It seems one needs to earn their way to sedona . All the thousands and thousands of people living on the streets are because we don’t have jobs that pay well or housing they can afford are the medical care they need, shame on u, not on them Muslims seems to understand charity better than Christians Christians it’s all about money and “our house” .
@no names please Good God you’ve said it all. Exactly.
Public, notice how not one person touched @no names please comment and steered it away from city hall and Parks & Rec responsibility, like Steve Segner who’s the city council and staff cheerleader and spinmaster?
Exactly. It’s pathetic how ignorant the residents of Sedona choose to be about the atmosphere of lying and obfuscation. Dilettantes. Purveyors of spin.
“You have no special rights because you moved to a tourist town”
Exactly, and neither should you, Steve Segner.
“give me some money I’ll give him the job . ”
That’s stevie, not I have a job for some needy person, give me money, because I always want more, and then I will employ someone. Greed Greed Greed.
No charity from stevie, not I will give him a job even if they do not make me money, not I will pay one of the green shirts salaries. No , give me CITY MONEY, YOUR MONEY, and I’ll give him a job.
stevie says “It seems one needs to earn their way to sedona” What stevie? You mean you earn the $2.5 million in taxes collected in the bed tax? Couldn’t that money be used to re mediate tourist impact? stevie likes to think he deserves that money.
Disgusting.
If you want to pretend that Sedona is friendly “Visitors and tourists are guests in our “house” it needs to start with residents, businesses & employees.
If you’re such a spirit-able person why would you? treat people as equal? Why are you entitled to city bed tax? Why don’t you donate your bed and breakfast room and food to the Visitors and tourists are guests in our “house” and the poor and homeless?
Give it up walk both sides of fence but the bottom line is YOUR $$$. IMO
@Steve segner
Remember the good old days?
The Sedona Library was built entirely from donations
Volunteers ran and paid for the Easter Egg Hunt
People believed charity began at home
Most believed it was better to give than receive
Now we have socialists like Steve segner, that are all in favor of helping others, WITH YOUR MONEY, of course after they take a healthy management fee for themselves.
Remember, in all the communist countries, the leaders lived in estates and rode in limousines.
Our local socialists, $2.5 million for the Sedona Chamber, of which Stevie gets his free advertising. A Grant for Mayor Sandy and her Wine Fest. A grant of about $500,000 from the city of Sedona to the library, after it receives about $900,000 a year from your property tax. Oh, and we don’t have a librarian, we have a “Library Director.”
No money for the pool though.
As someone said above, “build you own pool” slave.
Am I the only one who thinks this man is a racist bigot wannabe fascist dictator czar emporer chieftain king shah khomeni magabe amin stalin mao polpot political and philosophical drifter? What about his writing makes sense or do you agree with or find intelligent unless he’s pointing a gun at your head while you kneel? Just asking you Sedona. That man said this and not one of you said anything. Sound historically familiar?
Happy in Prescott where Rhoda Lives On.

Rhonda was a Beach Boys pop song. Rhoda wasn’t. Again you prove me right.
