    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (July 26, 2019) – The city of Sedona has posted an audit of the Development Impact fee program for the fiscal years 2017 and 2018.

    The biennial audit is required under Arizona Revised Statute §9-463.05. The purpose of the review was to determine whether the city utilizes funds collected through its Police, Roadway, Storm Drainage, General Government and Parks and Recreation development impact fee program for the funding of public improvements as outlined in the city’s Development Impact Fee Ordinance 2014-09.

    The audit review included:

    • land use assumptions, including determining whether the land use assumptions conform with the general plan;
    • infrastructure improvements plan, including evaluating the implementation of the infrastructure improvements plan, and reviewing the collection and expenditures of development fees for each project in the plan; and
    • development fees, including an evaluation of any inequities in implementing the plan or imposing the development fee; conducted by one or more qualified professionals who are not employees or officials of the municipality and who did not prepare the infrastructure improvements plan.

    The audit, which was performed by Willdan Financial Services, concluded that: “The City’s Development Impact Fees for the periods FY2016-17 and FY 2017-18 comply with ARS. 9-463.05.”

    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.
