Council voted 5 to 2 to approve the resolution. Mayor Jerry Nabours and Councilmember Scott Overton voted against it.

Kaibab Forest Supervisor Mike Williams explained to Council that the town of Tusayan approached the Forest Service with the request for a road easement across Forest Service lands to the Kotzin Ranch and TenX Ranch properties.
