The Sedona Lakes MUD #1 Board of Directors is excited to announce that after many months of planning, design is underway on a new park facility to be located at the end of Kestrel Ridge Court. Amenities will include off-street parking, playground area, dog park, 4 pickleball courts, a half-court basketball court and flexible play field. Construction is expected to begin in summer of 2025.
The Sedona Lakes Municipal Utility District No. 1 is acutely aware of the lack of neighborhood amenities.
The Sedona Lakes MUD Board of Directors contracted with Buckson Landscape Architecture to develop a Master Plan Concept for the Sedona Lakes Community.
The Master Plan involved an inventory and documentation phase of all existing amenities in Sedona Lakes.
The next phase of the planning process included development of preliminary design concepts and costs for the proposed improvements to the available areas owned by the MUD.
The Board formed a Task Force of community members to review and provide input for the Initial phase of the Master Plan.
After review and several brainstorming sessions by the Task Force, the concepts and budgets were revised and presented to the Board.
The Initial Concept Phase of a Multi-phase/year Project incorporates a number of elements from the Master Plan, and utilizes available MUD land. This Phase also creates infrastructure for future additions consistent with future expansion based on funding availability.
The Board is now ready to present the Master Plan to the community for comments and input prior to finalization of the initial phase the Master Plan.
The Board will hold a Town Hall on November 14th from 7:00-7:30 pm at the Pavilion to review the Plan with the residents and answer any questions. BRING YOUR CHAIRS.
A feedback link will be provided at the Town Hall meeting for your written comments.
Be ready for hurricane season. Today you can determine your personal hurricane risk, find out if you live in a hurricane evacuation zone, and review/update insurance policies. You can also make a list of items to replenish hurricane emergency supplies and start thinking about how you will prepare your home for the coming hurricane season. If you live in hurricane-prone areas, you are encouraged to complete these simple preparations before hurricane season begins on June 1.
You do not need to travel hundreds of miles. Your destination could be a friend or relative who lives in a well built home outside flood prone areas. Remember, your safest place may be to remain home. Be sure to account for your pets in your plan.
As hurricane season approaches, listen to local officials on questions related to how you may need to adjust any evacuation plans based on the latest health and safety guidelines from the CDC and your local officials.
Whether you’re evacuating or sheltering-in-place, you’re going to need supplies not just to get through the storm but for the potentially lengthy and unpleasant aftermath. Have enough non-perishable food, water and medicine to last each person in your family a minimum of 3 days (store a longer than 3-day supply of water, if possible). Electricity and water could be out for at least that long. You’ll need extra cash, a battery-powered radio and flashlights. You may need a portable crank or solar-powered USB charger for your cell phones.
If you need to go to a public shelter, follow health guidelines from your local officials and the CDC.
Flood insurance is available through your company, agent, or the National Flood Insurance Program at floodsmart.gov. Act now, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period.
Whether you’re evacuating, or planning to ride out the storm in your home, make sure it is in good repair and up to local hurricane building code specifications to withstand wind impacts. Many retrofits are not as costly or time consuming as you may think.
Have the proper plywood, steel or aluminum panels to board up the windows and doors. Remember, the garage door is the most vulnerable part of the home, so it must be able to withstand the winds.
If you’re a renter, work with your landlord now to prepare your home for a storm.
Start the conversation now with these Neighbor Helping Neighbor strategies but remember you may need to adjust your preparedness plans based on the latest health and safety guidelines from the CDC and your local officials.
The time to prepare for a hurricane is before the season begins, when you have the time and are not under pressure. If you wait until a hurricane is on your doorstep, the odds are that you will be under duress and will make the wrong decisions.
Take the time now to write down your hurricane plan. Know who issues evacuation orders for your area, determine locations on where you will ride out the storm, and start to get your supplies now. Being prepared before a hurricane threatens makes you resilient to the hurricane impacts of wind and water. It will mean the difference between being a hurricane victim or a hurricane survivor.

If you live in hurricane-prone areas, you are encouraged to complete these simple preparations before hurricane season begins on June 1. Keep in mind, you may need to adjust any preparedness actions based on the latest health and safety guidelines from the CDC and your local officials.
If you need to go to a public shelter, the CDC recommends bringing items that can help protect you and others from COVID-19, such as hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, bar or liquid soap, disinfectant wipes (if available) and two masks for each person. (Children under two years old and people having trouble breathing should not wear face coverings.)
