      I’m sure Molly is a nice person, competent in what she does. But this post is completely unnecessary and squanders City funds. Economic diversity is a joke in Sedona. The one and only industry is tourism. Previous hopes had been that Sedona could become a mini-Silicon Valley. But that ain’t going to happen. Efforts to transform Sedona into something is not is a waste of time and money. If you think, the City can transform the economy here; just look at its efforts to manage traffic or complete the storm drainage project that’s been going on for a decade. Or how it pours money into the Parks and Recreation programs when the average age of us residents is 57. I don’t know where the City has its finger, but it surely isn’t on the pulse of the community.

      Well said Henry, well said.


    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.
