Due to the resignation of Sedona City Councilwoman Janice Hudson, effective Saturday, March 21, the Sedona City Council is accepting applications to fill her vacant council seat. The term for this vacancy will end in November or December 2022, when the newly elected council members are seated following the fall 2022 election cycle.
