For the fifth time in as many years, the Sedona City Council will be looking to replace one of their own following a resignation.
During the Feb. 9 Sedona City Council meeting, Councilman Bill Chisholm announced that he was resigning effective that night for personal reasons related to his wife’s family.
“It’s been an honor and a privilege to serve, not only with city management and staff but this council right here and the previous council with John Currivan and John Martinez and my interactions with all the citizens, businesses and nonprofits,” he said that night. “I feel positive with the direction the community is going. This is hard for me but it’s something I have to do.”

For most, 2020 is a year they’d rather forget. But now that the new year is here, there may be hope for optimism, including among those on the Sedona City Council.
Each of the seven current members of council, as well as the two who chose not to seek re-election this year, were asked to give their personal opinions on 2020 and the struggles, and in some cases accomplishments, that came with it as a council and city.
