After closed-door discussion, Sedona council approves binding waiver of enforcement
Summary
Following a brief executive session, the Sedona City Council voted to approve Resolution 2026-01, a binding waiver of enforcement for properties listed on the meeting agenda; the move to enter executive session passed after an in-room recount and the council adjourned afterward.
The Sedona City Council recessed the public meeting on Jan. 13 to hold an executive session on a personnel matter and, after returning to open session, approved Resolution 2026-01, described in the meeting as a "binding waiver of enforcement" for the properties listed on the agenda.
A council member moved to enter executive session and another council member seconded the motion; the chamber initially announced the vote as 4–3 but several council members and staff recounted and said the tally was 5–3 in favor of recessing to the closed session. After the executive session the council returned to open session. A council member then moved to approve Resolution 2026-01 and the motion was seconded; the council voted in favor and the mayor declared the meeting adjourned.
The meeting transcript identifies the resolution by title but does not list the full text of the waiver in public remarks. The agenda reference indicates the waiver applies to properties listed on the meeting agenda; the council recorded no budgetary action in this segment and provided no additional public explanation of the enforcement waiver during the post-executive-session vote.
Because the substantive discussion of the personnel matter occurred in executive session, the public record in the transcript is limited to the motions, votes and the formal action approving the resolution. The council indicated no objections to adjournment after the vote.
