    Democrats of the Red Rocks will hold the first Mayoral and City Council Forum of 2012 at its January 19th  Breakfast at the Olde Sedona Bar and Grill. So far DORR’s is the only Candidate’s forum scheduled in January. At this writing  there are only two other forums scheduled.  One is hosted by the Chamber of Commerce, Main Street, and the Lodging Council (Feb 13th) and the other one is hosted by the League of Women Voters on Feb 16th.  Ballots go out beginning the week of February 16th for the March 13th election. All voting is by mail. There have been some problems in the past with receiving ballots, so if you don’t receive one by February 23rd you must immediately contact the Yavapai Recorders Office which is managing the election .

    All the candidates have agreed to come and speak at the DORR Breakfast Forum. Mayor Rob Adams is running unopposed, but five council candidates are vying for three city council spots; Mark DiNunzio, John Martinez, John D. Miller, Joe Vernier, and Jessica Williamson. Each candidate will have a few minutes to introduce themselves and talk about the goals of their campaign before beginning written questions from the audience. If time permits, the floor will be opened for questions directly from the audience. DORR board member Mike Cosentino from Cottonwood will MC the discussion. Everyone is welcome.  You don’t have to be a DORR member or even a Democrat or Independent. Bring a friend! Bring a contribution to the Sedona Food Bank!

    For those who can’t attend the forums the DORR Board’s Questionnaire has been sent. Two Candidates have responded so far. Results at:http://www.democratsoftheredrocks.org/DORR/question2012.php

    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.
