    By Scott Jablow, Sedona Mayor

    Hello Sedona.Biz Readers:            

    I wanted to share some actions I have taken on your behalf during my first few months as your new mayor:

    Before the end of the year, Council met with our two new State Legislators Senator Ken Bennett, and Representative Dr. Selina Bliss. We explained the important issues facing Sedona and the help we need from the state legislature to address these critical issues.

    We are fortunate to have previously developed a relationship with Representative Quang Nguyen with whom we have been working to change laws related to OHVs. I visited with him separately in Phoenix at the start of the legislative session as he was unable to join his colleagues at our meeting in Sedona. 

    Dr. Bliss has introduced two critical bills as a result of our meeting. HB 2047 allows cities and towns with a population of 17,000 or less to institute a cap on Short-Rentals and HB 2044 that will allow cities and towns with populations of less than 10,000 the option to place its 10 year Community Plan update on the ballot for a vote by its residents.

    I believe that building relationships with our legislative delegation and other state leaders is vital to our community. I am committed to aggressively addressing the challenges our legislature has created for us by continuing to reduce local control.

    Compassionate Sedona?
    By Tommy Acosta
    Sedona is known throughout the world as a spiritual destination point where the land and those who live upon it march to the beat of a different drummer. Compassion. Love. Inclusivity and enlightenment are pillars upon which this community is sustained. Yet, something happened a few days ago that made me question if this is really true. I was at dinner at a local restaurant with a fellow community resident, whom I had always thought to be one of the most compassionate people in Sedona. Quite off-handedly my friend asked me how I felt about a city plan to provide safe parking for people who work in Sedona but have to live in their vehicles because they cannot afford the rent to live here, or even in Cottonwood. I said I thought it was a great idea and my friend’s expression went from calmness to shock. “I can’t believe you are telling me that with a straight face,” he gasped, as he dropped his fork on the table. “Do you know what you are saying.” Read more→
