Sedona Seeks Budget Oversight Commission Volunteer

Sedona AZ--The City of Sedona is seeking a volunteer to serve a one-year term on a newly formed Budget Oversight Commission. 


The Commission will help the City in preparing the five-year capital plan and annual budget. The commission is solely advisory to the Council but will play a key role in providing important public input on budget policy, including revenue recommendations, capital planning processes and prioritization for continuation or elimination of programming and services in order to maintain a balanced budget. 


The Commission meets regularly to review information and provide feedback concurrent with the Budget Calendar in order to meet key deadlines needed to assist Council with formulation of the annual budget.


Citizens interested in serving in filling this commission opening must be Sedona residents, or own a business within the corporate limits of the City of Sedona.  Meetings will typically be held the Third Wednesday of each Month, November through May from 10:00 a.m. to noon.


The commission works with a staff liaison to review budget conditions such as: 


  • Review and discuss financial reports and revenue and expenditure projections.

§         Advise on situations of budget exceptions including, but not limited to, shortfalls and/or overages in revenue expenditures.

§         Review Council Priorities and recommend capital and operating funding levels in accordance with those priorities.

§         Advise on possible new revenues, fees and taxes as needed.

  • Take information learned in the meetings back into the community, and bring questions/concerns from community members to BOC meetings for discussion.
  • Participate in community outreach activities as arranged by staff.
  • Provide information to City Council through staff reports on an as-needed basis.


In addition, commission members must commit to becoming familiar with the Annual Budget and Budget Process and various other financial policies and reporting tools.  The City Council is interested in a group that broadly represents the community; therefore a financial background is not required to serve.


Applications may be picked up at the City Clerk’s Office, 102 Roadrunner Drive, Sedona City Hall. Applications must be returned to the Clerk’s Office by 5:00 p.m. on November 23, 2010. The Annual Budget and Audit documents are available for review at the City Clerk’s Office or on the city website at www.SedonaAZ.gov/Finance.


For additional information, please contact the City at (928) 204-7127.

    November 5th Update: SIX NEW MEMBERS APPOINTED TO BUDGET OVERSIGHT COMMISSION–One open seat remains.

    The Sedona City Council recently appointed Ronald Budnick, John Dansby, Peter Fagan, John Martinez, Larry Pack and Steve Segner to the Budget Oversight Commission. The City is still seeking one additional member to serve a one-year term.
