    logo_sedonapoliceSedona AZ (May 23, 2016) – The city of Sedona announced today that Ron Wheeler has been hired as Interim Police Chief while the city conducts a search to replace Ray Cota, who resigned as Police Chief on May 20, 2016. Wheeler was originally hired by the Sedona Police Department in 2002 as a Patrol Officer, and then was promoted to a Commander from 2006 to 2013. Recently, Wheeler retired as Police Chief of the town of Pinetop-Lakeside, Ariz. where he worked for three years.

    “We’re really fortunate to have Ron Wheeler serving as Interim Police Chief. He knows our organization and our community, and he comes with experience as a Police Chief,” said city of Sedona City Manager Justin Clifton. 

    “I am happy to return to Sedona, where there are such great people in this community. I look forward to giving back to an agency that gave me so much during my 11 years here,” said Wheeler.

    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.
