    Arizona News – The Arizona Community Foundation announces the departure of Chief Program and Community Engagement Officer Lisa Urias who will leave the foundation on February 10 to take a cabinet position for Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs as the Director of the Office of Tourism.

    In her new role, Urias will report directly to the Governor and lead the state’s tourism agency, which oversees Arizona’s largest industry by revenue at over $146 billion.

    “Given Lisa’s many talents and considerable experience, she is the ideal person to lead this office for the Governor,” said Steve Seleznow, ACF President & CEO. “She will bring her wisdom, experience, and talent to a thriving industry in this great state.”

    Urias has had a considerable impact during her two-year tenure as ACF’s Chief Program and Community Engagement Officer. She attracted dynamic talent to the team, expanded the foundation’s work in diverse communities across the state, and doubled the available capital for nonprofit developers through ACF’s impact investing program.

    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.
