Sedona City Council approves binding-waiver enforcement for seven properties and clears related measure for July 21 ballot
Summary
After an executive session, the Sedona City Council approved Resolution 2026-07 to allow binding waiver enforcement for seven properties named in notices of claim and voted not to appeal a court decision so the related matter may appear on the July 21 ballot.
The Sedona City Council voted Tuesday to approve Resolution 2026-07, authorizing binding waiver enforcement for seven properties named in notices of claim, and voted not to appeal a court decision so the related election measure can proceed to the July 21 ballot.
A council member moved to approve the resolution, saying, "I move to approve resolution 20 26 dash o 7, a binding waiver enforcement for the 7 listed properties." The motion was seconded and the presiding official recorded the vote as "Aye" and stated the action was unanimous.
The presiding official had told the public the matter would be discussed in executive session under Arizona law to receive legal advice concerning the notices of claim. The properties and reference information read into the record included Sedona LLC (APN 408-24-020C, 50 Stutz Bearcat Drive), HCMS LLC (APN 401-18-052, 50 Ranger Road), two entries for Michael T. Hughes (APNs 401-14-009, 401-14-008R at 450 and 452 Jordan Road), J Lou LLC (APN 408-24-020D, 44 Stutz Bearcat Drive), and Sefton Properties LLC (APNs 408-24-020A and 408-24-020, 40 Stutz Bearcat and 2515 West State Route 89A).
Later in the session, a council member moved that, "based on legal clarity, due to the court decision on this matter, I move that counsel not appeal the legal decisions that this matter can move forward to the July 21 ballot." That motion was seconded and approved; the clerk recorded those in favor as "Aye." The council did not record individual roll-call votes in the transcript for these motions.
Earlier the council confirmed a quorum during roll call; Councilor Furman was noted as joining later and Councilor Hosseini was recorded as excused. The meeting was adjourned and scheduled to reconvene at 4:30 p.m.
No additional debate or detailed staff reports tied to the motions are recorded in the transcript provided. The council cited Arizona Revised Statutes governing executive sessions (ARS 38-431.03(a)(3) and (a)(4)) and referenced pending litigation Sedona v. Save Sedona Committee (CV 202680133).
