    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ  (April 5, 2012) – The Sedona Wetlands project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant has received help recently from the Audubon Society and local volunteers.  On Thursday, March 29, volunteers cut poles from existing cottonwood and willow trees around the plant site and prepped them for water absorption.  The poles were then placed in the ponds to soak until they could be planted. 

    On Monday, April 2, holes were drilled by a bobcat with an auger which was paid for by the Audubon Society.   The volunteers then planted, watered, and backfilled the holes.

    The filling of four ponds has been completed and the remaining two ponds will be finished on Monday, April 9.

    Construction of the wetlands was approved by City Council last October.  Planting enhances the transpiration value of the wetlands, which in turn increases the value of the wetlands for effluent management as well as for wildlife habitat.  

    For more information, please contact Kelly Parlin, Wastewater Superintendent, at 204-7135.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
