Mayor Adams has already gone on record to seek single family residential areas for rezoning to multiple housing units. Further undefined recommendations for changes to the Land Development Code is high priority in the new plan. Higher density is the name of the game. Will Sedona residents actually vote to support this? We will soon find out.

just writing to let you know your words haven’t fallen on deaf ears here. And I appreciate your calm manner of laying out the facts, all of which this guy agrees with. I’ve noticed a couple other references to the new plan while watching city council which made me scratch my head cause I didn’t think the votes were in yet.

to quote T.J. to the council “Almost to the last every one of you aren’t knowledgeable how to live and maintain in a mountainous region or protect its resources like water and rocks”. You have to know how to handle your environment, beauty and nature, and not strip flesh from her skin to sell to the highest bidder.

My feelings are that this council, past councils and the chamber of commerce have stripped and sold Sedona so many time she is now just a prostitute, and you know what that makes them.

I’m guessing that the list of projects the mayor has listed here are really just badges that he’s hoping to show off to us. I’m not impressed as none of them mean a lick to me
.
by the way mayor guess we won’t have to wait until july for the lynx shelter cause they went in the day this article came out Last Month.

Any bets that the majority of this council will put as much in motion to tie up future funding for years to come? Purchase of Brewer Road and ADOT “Y” property will probably not be the only cash hogs on the horizon. What about the Cultural Park disaster and then we have the grand slam plans for the sewer plant acreage. Wasn’t there talk of a five star resort in that neck of the woods? Let us pray that Yavapai County will have better sense than to grant zoning for such preposterous nonsense.

If Jennifer, Steve, and their Chamber of Commerce/Lodging Council have their way, Sedona will become the sole source for funding the Holiday Central as well as the festivities at the Posse Grounds (ice skating rink, crappy light display, etc.) No wonder they don’t ask even a small token entrance fee. Who would be dumb enough to pay it?

The ongoing transferring of pledged funding for the sewer at the time folks voted to incorporate Sedona will probably increase along with the monthly fees for those unfortunate to be connected to the system. It would be interesting to know if timeshares and other privileged “new” developments are being allowed special discounts.

Already this council is making reference to implementation of the revised Community Plan. Example: Barbara Litrell equating the half-million-plus dollar splash pad as complying with the new stipulation for more family and children functions. Sad part is the “plan” will probably be approved and by what percentage of registered voters?

Unless the train is derailed by public outcry, it will continue on the one-way run away track. And it won’t be the fault of city council present or future. Registered Sedona voters, even those outside city limits still receiving ballots via their post office boxes in Sedona, will be the sole cause of the direction Sedona is presently pursuing.

So, these are my opinions unless the city council has also changed the rules to deny us the right to express thoughts disagreeing with theirs. Ha, as if it does any good anyway.

If my business ran those deficits we wouldn’t be in business.

Oy!

About the need to clean up the registration rolls. YES, much needed and long overdue. wonder why those who leave sedona are even wanting to vote in our elections? what’s it to them? Oh . . . of course. so they can have sedona taxes pay for all their fun and games Silly me.

Now’s the time to clean up the rolls after reading a comment that people not eligible are voting. Put that on the next agenda at council. The city would work fine if people held the council accountable.

The population of Sedona has shrunk, not grown in the last few years. As there are less residents, we don’t need more services and a huge increase in the city budget.

If the average age is 56 and makes around $50,000, then about half are older and make less than that. You are taking food out of their budget and making them shop at thrift stores. For what, more tourists, more congestion?

The city and city council has proven they will not stop spending on their own. They have proven they will not be frugal with OUR money. We must stand up and make them stop.

The best way is to eliminate the city.
