    The program will be held at 2:00pm in building M, room 137 at the Verde Valley campus of Yavapai College located at 601 Black Hills Drive in Clarkdale.  There is no admission fee to attend.

    In addition to Dart’s presentation, the museum will host a display of photographs depicting artifacts from the Tuzigoot “dig” as Clarkdale was the repository for artifacts that were uncovered and brought to one of Clarkdale’s historic buildings for cleaning, sorting and identification.  Tuzigoot National Monument will also host a display of their pottery artifacts which are part of Clarkdale’s history. Both organizations thank Mr. Dart for this opportunity.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
