Thank You for Voting for Home Rule!
The Sedona Lodging Council supports a “Yes” vote to continue Home Rule because it preserves the city’s ability to function.
Without Home Rule, Sedona would lose access to most of its primary revenue sources—particularly sales taxes and bed taxes—for general governmental use, resulting in a collapse of the city’s usable budget by as much as three-quarters.
This would not simply shift decision-making; it would leave the city without the financial means to perform essential functions, maintain services, or respond to community needs.
Critical partnerships and community supports, including nonprofits such as Meals on Wheels and the public library, would be at risk, and the city would lose its ability to implement practical, creative solutions and deliver services residents rely on every day.
A “Yes” vote ensures that Sedona retains the financial foundation necessary to operate, serve its citizens, and sustain the quality of life that defines the community.
Please contribute to the cost of marketing in postcards, newspaper ads, digital ads, etc. to promote Home rule to make sure it gets the majority votes on July 21. Thank you.

There is an alternative to Home Rule called the Permanent Base Adjustment, or PBA. This would have to be approved by the voters.
Many cities in Arizona have a PBA instead of Home Rule elections every four years. This would set a maximum city budget substantially higher than current budgets, taking into account inflation and other expected additional expenses.
Some advocate pursuing this as the correct path in an election in 2028 or later for a PBA in Sedona to end the every 4-year election for the Home Rule election. This would require extensive study and analysis to determine the appropriate PBA for Sedona.
