City denies seat on tax district
Decisions regarding themed park too early, council members believe

Members of the Williams City Council denied a decision regarding the proposed themed park during their regularly scheduled meeting Jan. 10, saying the decision would be too premature in light of the fact that county supervisors have not voted to approve the district. Council members were asked to appoint a member to the special taxing district board, made up of two Phoenix officials, two Coconino County officials and one city of Williams representative. While Phoenix has already appointed two representatives to the district board, officials in northern Arizona have yet to make a move, which they say is due to unanswered questions in regards to the project.
