Three candidates running for mayor of Sedona spoke to voters during a forum July 18 at the Sedona Public Library. The forum was jointly hosted by the League of Women Voters of Greater Verde Valley and the Sedona Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau.
Pete Conrad, a six-year resident, said he’s running because he’s a “natural leader with proven problem-solving skills” and because he said, “It’s time for a change in leadership.”
Incumbent Mayor Sandy Moriarty, a 46-year resident who helped Sedona’s incorporation in 1988 and served on the interim City Council, said she stands for “sound financial management, traffic improvements, sustainable tourism, protecting our natural beauty, more diverse and affordable housing and changing state law to better manage short-term rentals.”
Tony Tonsich, a 27-year resident, said he’s running because, “Someone had to stand up and do something.”
He said he asked Arizona Rep. Brenda Barton [R-District 6] to a file SB 1487 complaint against Sedona two years ago, asked the IRS to investigate the city, has written against Home Rule on previous ballot measures and said his “last option was to run for mayor.”
Making Change in Sedona
Responding to what candidates wanted to change, Moriarty said she hopes Sedona can become more sustainable; become more diverse economically, demographically and socially with more diverse housing; and regain local control.
Tonsich said he disliked “bumper-to-bumper traffic” and that “all my campaign signs were stolen within 24 hours.”
Tonsich said he once asked the city for accounts payable and received a 78-page summary, then asked for it again this year and it was 480 pages.
“I don’t think they wanted me to find things,” he said.
According to city records, the second report Tonsich requested was “all accounts payable for FY 17-18,” which is an in-depth report of all transactions. Since he requested all city transactions from all departments for the entire fiscal year, the report was 471 pages.
Tonsich said the injection well at the Wastewater Reclamation Plant “doesn’t remove the pharmaceuticals; it doesn’t remove any of cancer treatment drugs” and “they don’t know where it’s going.”
Conrad said he would eliminate the Sedona in Motion projects. He proposed an automated traffic control system to relieve traffic congestion.
“It can be accomplished in a fraction of the cost of Sedona in Motion projects,” he said, and “be up and running in a couple of months.”
Fact Check: Wastewater
| Pharmaceuticals in Sedona’s effluent from human waste are within Arizona Department of Environmental Quality standards |
 |
Water quality is regulated by Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. The city must meet daily water quality parameters in order inject water into the ground. Sedona’s wastewater effluent is tested and rated by ADEQ as A plus, the highest quality effluent it recognizes.
Regarding pharmaceuticals in Sedona’s effluent from human waste, such residue measures in nanograms per milliliter, i.e., one drop of water in 13.2 million gallons.
This treated water is then injected into the ground where it can take decades to filter through the ground before entering the aquifer, which is several miles downstream from where Sedona’s wells draw water.
According to a city report, various cancer drugs measured less than 100 nanograms per liter, or 100 parts per trillion [100 parts per 1,000,000,000,000]. The substance sucralose, the sugar subsitute in Splenda, measure 43,000 ng/L.
Additionally, Point of Compliance wells are specifically placed to detect the influence of spray irrigation, wetlands and injection activities on the groundwater, also an ADEQ requirement, and Sedona is in compliance with state standards.
Sustaining Quality of Life
Responding to a question about how quality of life, tourism and the environment are linked and the broad role the city and the Chamber of Commerce play in balancing quality of life, Tonsich said, “That question obviously makes a lot of assumptions and most those assumptions are incorrect.”
Tonsich said residents are unhappy with their local government, the chamber overstates what it produces in tax revenue and “We need to take back control of our government.”
Conrad said the key word in the question is balance.
“Tourism is the business of our town,” he said. “However, our tourism cannot run over the needs of the citizens.
“We need to repurpose and redirect the chamber and the city to develop programs that use corporate, public and private partnerships to fund and execute those programs that benefit citizens as well as local tourist businesses,” Conrad continued. “The chamber is a professional organization that should be given better specific direction by the city.”
Conrad said the city should change focus from “day-trippers and tourists” to “tourists and vacationers.”
Moriarty said, “The Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the city, is now embarking on a long-range tourism management plan.”
She said the Nichols Tourism Group and the Arizona State University Center for Sustainable Tourism will help the city and chamber balance three critical elements of tourism: Environment, which includes trails, historic buildings and heritage sites; socio-cultural, i.e., traffic mitigation and housing diversity; and economic, “to protect the thousands of jobs provided by visitors and the taxes and city receives to offset the cost of basic services.”
City Staff Increase
The first audience question was about addressing the increase of city staff by 15 full-time equivalents in 2012. FTE includes adding the weekly hours of part-time staff together.
The city’s FTE count prior to the Great Recession of 2008-09 was 165. In 2012, at the bottom of recession, Sedona had 117 FTE staff. In 2019, the city has 145 FTE staff.
Conrad said there’s not a balance between the increase of staff and population. Conrad said the city did a good job in “raising our standards at the police department” so employee numbers are “closer to the correct staff.”
Moriarty said the growth of staff is “due to the amount of economic activity that’s taking place.”
Moriarty said the staff dropped during the Great Recession of 2008-09 and has risen since it ended. She concurred with Conrad that the police department was understaffed for several years, and added that many vacated position were not filled.
Regarding city staff, Tonsich said, “The waste is shocking.”
Tonsich said the city has three lawyers but hires an outside firm for liability cases.
Tonsich said city staff spent several hundred dollars on hotel and restaurants on Dec. 31, citing hotel and restaurant receipts, adding, “The only interesting part of this whole thing was the date — it was New Year’s Eve. That’s how they spend their money.”
Fact Check: City Staff Receipts
One New Year’s Eve bill Tonsich cited was a $914.76 bill at Le Meridien Hotel.
Sedona Police Chief David McGill attended the 2017 International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference in Philadelphia, but the conference was Oct. 21 to 24, per the IACP website.
According to city records, the credit card payment should have been part of the Nov. 30 procurement card batch, but was posted in December, appearing on Dec. 31.
Credit card payments are batched at the end of the month.
Another New Year’s Eve bill Tonsich cited was a Cartwright’s restaurant charge for $603.73.
The police department held a 10-person team-building retreat for senior leadership through sergeants in Cave Creek, but it took place on Dec. 14.
This payment was part of the December procurements, also posted on Dec. 31.
In the last five years, the city has hired an Arts and Culture coordinator at 30 hours per week, a Citizen Engagement Coordinator at 35 hours, increased the PC Helpdesk technician to full time, and hired three engineers for capital projects, a dispatcher, a court clerk as municipal court volume has gone up with police activity, an economic development director and a police sergeant, as well as eight traffic control assistants and six community service traffic aides who work part-time and receive no benefits.
City and Chamber Relationship
The next audience question was about the relationship of the city and the chamber.
Moriarty said there are two parts of the chamber: The membership organization and the Tourism Bureau. Many Arizona cities have in-house tourism bureaus.
“We don’t have that,” she said. “We could, but I doubt if we could do it any cheaper.”
Moriarty said the city has a contract with the chamber and “We have discussions about how the money will be spent,” she said. “We supervise that all along … so that we know what exactly they’re doing with the money.”
Tonsich said, “These people are advertising on billboards in Phoenix and Tucson. We should be advertising in Town and Country in Architectural Digest. We should be looking for a higher-quality tourist.”
“While the baby boomers are retiring en masse, this beautiful tourist town … has lost a thousand residents,” Tonsich continued.
Conrad said, “There should be a partnership, for certain, but we should always remember that it is a vendor-customer relationship. I think the chamber supplies a valuable service. I think we need to look at how much of that service needs to be directed in dollars and in focus.”
According to the U.S. Census, Sedona’s population growth is:
7,844 in 1990
8,974 in 1995
10,277 in 2000
11,189 in 2005
11,570 in 2008 just before the Great Recession
10,045 in 2010 at the lowest point in the Great Recession
10,303 in 2015 and
10,336 in 2017 (estimated)
Due to direction from council at the last oversight meeting, the Sedona Chamber of Commerce is not advertising Sedona in the Phoenix area. There are no billboards in Phoenix nor Tucson sponsored nor paid for by the chamber. There are no plans to advertise again in the Phoenix market until at least spring 2019, if such direction is given to the chamber by council.
Home Rule
“Home Rule would be a wonderful thing if you had a frugal and rational City Council,” Tonsich said. “From your Dec. 31 New Year’s Eve hotel stays, you can see they’re anything but frugal and they’re anything but paying attention.”
“The city’s working for the Chamber of Commerce, it’s working for the city staff and citizens are a far distant third,” Tonsich continued. “That’s why I say no to Home Rule.”
Conrad said, “I think under certain circumstances Home Rule is probably a pretty good idea because it takes the control away from the state gives it to the city, but I think you go one step further and take the control away from the city put it in the hands of the citizens. Go with the Permanent Base Adjustment.”
Moriarty said she is in favor of Home Rule.
“I’ve heard mention here from the other two candidates that we want a citizen-run government; we don’t want professional management?” Moriarty said. “Under professional management, we’ve had we have never had a deficit — never — we have balanced the budget every single year and we maintain a 30 percent reserve fund, which is higher than most cities.”
“If you take away professional management that this makes absolutely no sense to me,” Moriarty continued. “I just think it would be crazy to try and run a city some other way.”
Home Rule Rebuttals
In a one-minute rebuttal to the question, Tonsich said the city has a balanced budget because it spent $10 million from its reserves fund.
He also said the city has “106 miles of roads they have to maintain” and paves a “mile a and half per year,” adding it takes “more than 50 years” to repave the city’s streets.
“Citizens need oversight into the budget,” Conrad said. He said the city needs to find professional accountants in the community to look at the city budget.
“We pave 4 to 5 miles a year,” Moriary said. “In terms of professional management, we’ve already have found those people. They’re on our staff. They’re very good.”
“As far as balancing the budget … no, we did not take $10 million out of the reserve fund,” Moriarty said. “We took it out of the money we have saved. The balanced budget, according to the state, means financial resources on hand. Yes, we have a capital expense fund that we put money into we have surpluses every year, and it goes into the capital expense budget.”
“We never even dipped into our reserve funds the whole time of the recession — the Great Recession — we never dipped into it,” she said.
According to city officials, the city has 93 miles of city streets and repaves 4 to 5 miles of streets each year.
As indicated above, the credit card charges were were not charged on Dec. 31, 2017, they were only batched for payment on Dec. 31, 2017.
Housing Issues
The next question asked candidates what they plan to do to increase rental housing for Sedona’s workforce.
Senate Bill 1350 removed the ability for towns and cities to regulate short-term vacation rentals, requiring the city to repeal a longtime ban. Sedona also had to remove a requirement for short-term rental owners to have a business license, or it risked losing about $2.1 million per year in state funds.
Moriarty said Sedona’s apartment stock is “very low,” about 4 percent of total housing, while the state average is 22 percent.
“Affordable housing has been in the form of single-family homes that that occupants share,” Moriarty said. “With the short-term rentals taking over the town in large part, we have driven out some of those long-term rentals.”
Moriarty said she is working with the state to better manage short-term rentals.
“Short-term rentals and Airbnb are a problem; they are destroying our neighborhoods,” Tonsich said. “We need to not wait for the state to take action on that. You know the state says will penalize you. We need to say, ‘This is our town, we’re going to do something about it.’
“We pressure our state representatives enough that they’re embarrassed by what they’ve done,” Tonsich continued. “We [buy] a house next to them and rent it out with a bunch of transients five days a week.”
No state legislators live in Sedona. Arizona Sen. Sylvia Allen [R-District 6] lives in Snowflake. Arizona Rep. Brenda Barton [R-District 6] lives in Safford. Arizona Rep. Bob Thorpe [R-District 6] lives in Flagstaff.
Conrad said, “Affordable housing has a lot to do with what you’re capable of owning, what you’re capable of paying for, and I don’t think we should go a lot of a way to create affordable housing.”
Traffic Problems
Regarding improving Sedona’s traffic congestion, Conrad said he wants to install “pedestrian control lights” from the Sedona Art Center’s Art Barn to “the other side of Tlaquepaque and synchronize those lights” allowing traffic to flow for 2 minutes and 30 seconds at a time.
He said his plan would allow 2,000 cars an hour in Uptown and cost the city $600,000, but did not cite any reports that could be independently verified.
“The city needs to stop subsidizing the chamber to advertise,” Tonsich said. He said half the cars entering Sedona don’t stop in town.
He said State Route 89A is considered “a failed highway from Sunset Drive to the Y” and that “State Route 89A gets more traffic than [Interstate] 17.”
Moriarty said, “We have just undertaken a [public] transit study. We’re definitely looking at transit as an option.”
“We’re going to start first with the Uptown improvements, using medians and adding a lane,” she continued. “The Uptown improvements will include medians and try to stop interference from pedestrians.”
“There’s only two lights in Uptown so I’m not sure how many lights we could coordinate there. The other thing we’re looking at is slip lanes at the Y and that will help to move traffic through that area,” Moriarty said.
“We may look at underpasses, overpasses to help with pedestrian crossing,” she added, but did not specify locations.
The 2016 Verde Valley Master Transportation Plan has no mention of Sunset Drive, but the stretch from Shelby Drive to the Y, which includes Shelby Drive, is listed as “near capacity” [Level of Congestion “C” and “D”] but not “failed,” which is another degree higher [Level of Congestion “F”].
The average annual daily traffic on Interstate 17 is 86,261 cars, 4.82 times higher than Sedona’s average of 17,882, measured near Cooks Hill.
On Sedona’s busiest day, the Saturday before Memorial Day weekend 2016, Cooks Hill counted 23,804 cars, 3.26 times lower than I-17.
According to ADOT, 62 of 63 stretches on I-17 have higher AADT than Sedona, except exit 328 at Newman Park Road — parallel to State Route 89A at the switchbacks — which counts 16,870 cars.

Noise Reduction
To reduce noise from ATVs, Tonsich said the city could use noise meters and task officers to go after motorcycles and quads and also cite them for not using street legal tires.
“I’m not sure how you chase an ATV all over town with the noise meter and get a reading that means something,” Moriarty said. “By the time … the police officer gets there, they’re someplace else.”
“ATVs are legal in this state; it doesn’t matter what kind of tires they have, they’re street legal,” Moriarty continued. “We have tried working with the owners of the businesses that rent ATVs and we’ll continue to do that.”
“Tony stole my answer,” Conrad said. “We need to be able to put noise reduction on the ATVs, just like there is in your cars.”
ATVs are street legal by state statute, Article 28, if they have the requisite equipment: A permanent seat, headlight, brake light, a brake system, horn that can heard 200 feet away, rearview mirror, foot rest and are registered with the state. Drivers need to have a regular license and wear goggles, glasses or a face shield if there’s no windshield. Drivers under 18 years old need a helmet.
Arizona Revised Statute §28-1179.A.3 allows the noise emissions to up to 96 decibels, comparable to the volume of a lawn mower. The city’s OHV/ATV work group has worked with the businesses to test the ATVs in Sedona and they are all muffled below 96 decibels.
Sedona police confirm that the tires used by local businesses providing ATVs are street legal. They are unaware of any rental ATVs with illegal tires.
The city has no jurisdictional authority to change what state law permits.
Personal Motivation
The final question was, “Why do you want this job?”
“I want to serve the community,” Conrad said. “I think I could do a good job and solve some of the problems.
“I think if we gather the people who live here … to come up with a real community plan done by the community, it’ll solve our problems.”
Moriarty said, “The [Sedona] Community Plan was done by residents. It was a citizen committee.”
“I love the job. I actually do, in spite of nights like tonight when we’re hearing a lot of complaints,” Moriarty continued. “I love problem-solving, I love negotiating. I’m meeting-tolerant — that’s important. I’m also panic-impaired. I’m very hard to insult, by the way, so give it your best shot, it’s not going to work.”
Tonsich said, “It’s a crime when you’ve got a town this beautiful with this much potential. All we need is another four years of the same thing. Many people have told me how much has changed in the last four years.”
The mayor’s term is two years, not four years.
Closing Statements
In closing statements, Tonsich said, “People say it’s a tourist town, [so] we’re going to keep developing for tourists. I disagree. People say we have a professional staff. I haven’t seen it.
“It is a thankless job. I’m not looking forward to it, you know, but somebody has to do it,” Tonsich continued. “If you like the way it’s been going, you know, obviously vote for Sandy. If you want a politician, Pete’s a politician. I’m not a politician.
“I’m sick of the lies that we [are] told by the by the chamber, by the city, you know all the things that are going on,” Tonsich said.
Moriarty said, “I got bad news for Tony — it’s not a four-year term, it’s a two-year term. I am not a liar, in spite of what he says. I think a lot of you know that.”
“I’ve been here 46 years. I know many of you at the town very well,” she said.
“I stand for sound financial management, traffic improvements, sustainable tourism, protecting our natural beauty, more diverse and affordable housing and changing state law to better manage short-term rentals,” she said.
She cited the passage of Senate Bill 1382, proposed by Sedona staff, which requires all online lodging marketplaces to remit state and local taxes for short-term rentals.
“We have a track record of balanced budgets, a strong reserve fund, no deficits and we’ve invested in the community,” Moriarty said.
Conrad said, “I’ve learned there is a great talent pool of professionals — doctors, lawyers, engineers and scientists — and I’m going to ask for their support and help of those people to make Sedona a better place. Neighbors helping neighbors for our neighborhood.
“If you don’t like direction that town is in, I am your candidate for change.”
