The Mayor reviews a recent discussion that was held at Treasure Valley Partnership,
where the concern was expressed that "big money" is coming into the valley and

same entity. We are loosing the diversification that has made the valley so unique.
Sometimes these investors then turn around and use these properties as rentals.

that there would be better compensation for Commissioners for time spent reviewing staff
reports and for time spent at meetings. The City Attorney comments on state code
restrictions and the current stipend that Council approved.
Council member Bastian discusses drainage swales and the dangers of standing water in
Sedona and Senora Creek subdivision common areas. Staff notes that Senora Creek was
