Sedona council approves sale of 401 Jordan Road to Sedona Fire District for $2.23 million
Summary
After a brief public hearing with no speakers, council approved selling city-owned property at 401 Jordan Road to the Sedona Fire District at the appraised value of $2,230,000, with closing subject to the city attorney's approval of the purchase-and-sale agreement and a possible due-diligence extension requested by the fire district.
The council approved the sale of 401 Jordan Road to the Sedona Fire District for the appraised market value of $2,230,000.
City staff said the fire district needs additional site area to build a new station and had obtained an appraisal; staff reviewed the appraisal and recommended the sale to another government entity be completed without a second appraisal. The council held a public hearing; no members of the public spoke on the item.
Councilor (motion maker not specified in the record) moved to approve the sale subject to city-attorney approval of the purchase-and-sale agreement; council voted unanimously to approve the motion. The purchase agreement includes a closing date of May 1, 2025, but staff noted the fire district requested the ability to extend their due-diligence period through June 1, 2025, at their discretion. The city also plans to remove and relocate two EV charging stations located on the property before transfer, subject to discussion with the fire district.
Why it matters: The sale enables the Sedona Fire District to proceed with a planned new fire station site, a significant local public-safety infrastructure decision. Selling to another government entity follows state law on fair-market consideration.
Provenance: Staff presentation and public-hearing sequence (00:48:30'00:52:52).
