An advisory committee preparing materials for Sedona City Council agreed to present ranges for council pay tied to minimum wage and to recommend access to city health coverage, while keeping detailed cost tables available as supporting exhibits.

The council voted unanimously to adopt a policy to pre‑fund the city's share of ASRS pension liability (policy amended to a 10‑year guideline), approved a $321,165.36 manhole rehabilitation contract with AMKA Services LLC, and approved a staff‑recommended proclamation recognizing Stand With Me, Be Drug Free Week.

Councilors discussed several state bills: HCR2004 on photo‑enforcement (cameras) — council chose to stay neutral and not pursue a perfunctory contract to preserve future eligibility; HB4064 (municipal improvement districts) — council signaled support for streamlining petition timing; Representative Bliss's short‑term rental bill passed the House and will move to the Senate.

The Sedona City Council approved a contract to reappoint Kathy Sensman of Policy Development Group as the citys contract lobbyist for the 2026 Arizona legislative session, authorizing up to $100,000. Council and the lobbyist discussed short-term rentals, state budget pressures and coordination with other rural mayors and county assessors.

The City Council confirmed a presiding magistrate appointment, awarded pump-and-motor service contracts, approved a design-contract amendment for the Uptown parking project and renewed an HR/payroll software agreement; it also authorized a federal transit grant application.
