    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (July 29, 2017) – The city of Sedona has achieved a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its comprehensive annual financial report for the 2016 fiscal year.

    The certificate, awarded by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada, is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by the city and its Financial Services Department.

    The certificate for the 2016 report is the city’s 18th such recognition from the association. . 
    In conjunction with the certificate, the association also makes an Award of Financial Reporting Achievement to the individuals and department primarily responsible for preparing the report. City Manager Justin Clifton says it’s a recognition well-earned.

    “The careful accounting and reporting provided by Finance Director Cherie Wright and her staff are foundational to making solid budget decisions,” he says. “Our council is committed to responsible budget management, so we rely on the detailed and timely data we get from Cherie’s team.”

    In addition to accuracy and implementation of best practices in the area of financial reporting, the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting also recognizes that the city of Sedona has demonstrated a constructive ”spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial position.

    Wright and her team will be formally recognized at a future meeting of the Sedona City Council. Detailed city budget and audit information is available on the city website at sedonaaz.gov/finance.

    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.
