    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (October 17, 2016) – Starting October 22, 2016, the city of Sedona Police Department will increase contact with those who are using a hand held cell phone while driving in city limits.

    In April 2014, the city of Sedona passed a law that prohibits the use of hand held cell phones while driving. Following this, there was a grace period during which officers gave warnings to drivers caught using their hand held cell phone. Signs were also placed at every entry into the city, alerting drivers of the law prohibiting the use of hand held communication devices while driving. Hands free cell phone use is still allowed.

    “Police departments across the nation are seeing an increase in drivers using hand held cell phones and this is a dangerous trend. Other jurisdictions have taken action and it’s up to the Sedona Police Department to ensure a safe traffic environment. We will be vigilant in looking for poor driving behavior associated with hand held cell phone use that could lead to safety concerns,” said city of Sedona Police Chief Ron Wheeler.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
