Kayenta Community
The local perspective. Our businesses and residents news and events.
There’s No Doubt About It:
Things Are Going South!
The timeworn expression “to go south” typically connotes that things are not going as planned! Well, not in the current instance, at least as it relates to Kayenta! Anyone driving past or through the southwestern section of the community can’t help but be struck by the amount of construction activity taking place there.
Construction continues on the second phase of the Old Highway 91 project from Kwavasa Drive all the way to the entrance to Fire Lake Park and includes resurfacing the existing roadway, adding 7 foot bike lanes on both shoulders, completing the remaining sections of the trail from the Phase 1 Highway 91 improvements, installing a sewer line, and upgrading several intersections along the route, including the principal entrance to our community from Kayenta Parkway, where a designated left turn lane will be installed to increase safety. The city is hopeful that this project will be done around Labor Day.
Turning north on Kayenta Parkway, you’ll almost immediately notice that several new streets have been created off the right side of the road just as you crest the first hill off the highway. Later this Fall or early 2026, we will see the official opening of the newest phase of our community, called Moenkopi Trail. Several lots will be released for sale in this newest phase, ranging in size from 2/3rd acres up to 1 acre. Pricing has not yet been finalized. In the heart of Moenkopi Trail, Kayenta’s newest “Concept Home” is nearing completion. Once finished, this sleek, new 3,200 square foot home will replace the current concept home on Paiute Drive, which has been a key marketing asset for the community since 2019.
The highway improvements will improve safe access to Kayenta, just as we get ready to launch this beautiful new phase of our community. Stay tuned for more information as we move forward. Jeff, Steve, and Naomi look forward to showing you around both the new lots for sale as well as the stunning new Concept Home in Moenkopi Trail.
Our office is open 7-days a week to help with all your Kayenta real estate needs.

Networking for Strength and Success
Sharing experiences and expertise with others who work in disciplines and/or on projects similar to yours can bring positive results. Beyond camaraderie and learning about better ways of doing things, like-minded volunteers also find renewed commitment as they meet with others who share both their passions and their concerns.
Such was one of several outcomes of a “walk and talk” in early July when board members of the Desert Preservation Initiative (DPI) met with local environmental and conservation experts. On hand for the meeting organized by DPI volunteer Shaunna Goldbery, a conservation botanist and science/STEAM educator, were Tyce Palmer, Utah Department of Agriculture and Food(UDAF), Zone 5 Conservation Director; Jake Benson, conservation planner with UDFA and the Natural Resources Conservation Service; Brad Winder, Washington County Department of Noxious Weeds Supervisor, and Chris Corville, Best Friends Animal Society, Kanab.
During the early morning visit to the Wisteria Way wash project site off of Cactus Gulch, the group discussed soil management and restoration efforts, a well as the possibility of drone seeding, the use of EDDMapS to track invasive species and apply for grant funding, and thoughts on tracking birds in the area.
A primary lesson—one embraced by all—was the need to revamp how DPI leaves wood debris on site following tamarisk removal. Rather than leaving the debris in a pile, it is more effective to spread the debris around “to add nutrients to the soil, to keep soil from blowing away and give a shelter for seeds to take root,” notes DPI board member Sara Dupre.
“Bare soil is a dead soil that is subject to increased wind erosion and water erosion,” explains Jake Benson. “The sandy soils you have there have very little organic matter to help protect and promote plant growth and water holding capacity,” he says, “the bare soil is so hot in summer it literally cooks the seeds. If you leave the soil bare, red broom and cheat grass will come in.” Basically, as familiar saying goes, “Nature abhors a vacuum, if you don’t replace it with something you want nature will replace it with something you don’t want.”
Tyce Palmer noted that his agency and the Dixie Conservation District can help apply for and administer grants and that he also works with the American Conservation Experience and writes grants for them. Grant funding could help DPI pay for additional labor, herbicide, and seed.
Brad Winder, who has previously helped DPI by teaching a workshop on herbicide use, found the gathering a win/win. Tyce Palmer noted that the work of DPI is “a great community effort. I like how your committee is organized and has good monitoring going on.”
With a great many new ideas to pursue, Shaunna Goldberry summed up the day, “It’s wonderful to revisit and review all of your labor and dedication to conservation! I continue to be impressed.”

August 2025 Ivins City Council Updates
Mike Scott, Council Member
Power Outages
Many of us in Ivins have experienced frustrating power outages, some tied to weather or fire prevention, but others with no clear explanation. I contacted the Utah Public Service Commission to request a full review of the situation. Within hours, Commissioner John Harvey called me and formally directed Rocky Mountain Power to respond within 30 days with explanations, investment details, and plans for improving reliability.
I’ll share updates as soon as I receive them. In the meantime, if you’ve experienced a power outage in the past few months, or if you have one in the coming weeks, please let me know about it (mike@MikeScott4Ivins.com). (More info at https://www.mikescott4ivins.com/?p=5053)
Thinking About Who To Vote For?
The Ivins City Council primary election is August 12th. Here are a few thoughts on how to think about candidates. (Purely by coincidence, they also happen to describe me pretty well.)
One helpful way to think about this is through the idea of civic virtue, a commitment to the common good that keeps our community strong and united. Civic virtue is about more than good intentions. It’s about how leaders approach the real tensions and tradeoffs of local government.
Balancing Individual Rights and Community Responsibility
When I was first elected, I took part in training by the Utah League of Cities & Towns. One key concept they emphasized was the idea of “polarity”: the need to balance individual rights and community needs.
These are not opposing forces where we choose one and discard the other. They are interdependent. Overemphasizing one weakens the whole. A healthy community protects individual freedoms while also upholding shared responsibilities and values.
This is a real issue in Ivins. Some candidates argue that we shouldn’t regulate things like building height, design, landscaping, or home-based businesses because “Ivins is not an HOA.” I’ve heard that many times. But we’re not an HOA and we’re not an anything-goes town either. Our City Code, hundreds of pages long, reflects our community’s shared vision for the kind of place we want to live in.
I believe in smart, limited regulations that serve a meaningful purpose, like preserving our iconic views, protecting our natural environment, minimizing impacts on neighbors, and ensuring public safety. Ivins has worked hard to maintain a distinct sense of place, and that didn’t happen by accident. It happened through planning, compromise, and yes, regulation.
Other Considerations
When evaluating candidates, here are some other traits worth looking for:
- Do they do their homework, spending time studying complex issues?
- Do they make decisions based on facts, actual data, legal constraints, and long-term consequences?
- Do they focus on long-term sustainability? It’s easy to say you’re against raising taxes. But if we want to keep delivering the level of service our residents expect, we need to be honest about what that will take. Responsible leadership means planning ahead, not just avoiding controversy.
- Have they been engaged all along, or just during campaign season? I value candidates who’ve spoken out on city issues over the past couple of years, not just now that an election is underway.
- Have they gotten their feet wet by serving on the Emergency Preparedness Committee, Sensitive Lands, Planning Commission, Open Space or Heritage Days Committees, or other city-led groups? These experiences help ensure you’re not starting from scratch on City Council.
Want to Know Where the Candidates Stand?
Ivins resident Robert MacFarlane has created a helpful, nonpartisan website with information from each of the candidates, in their own words. You can find it at: https://votestg.com. Once you’re on the site, scroll down and click on “Ivins City Election.” You’ll see links to each candidate’s answers to seven important questions.
You can also see the “candidate profiles” each candidate submitted to the State at https://votesearch.utah.gov/voter-search/search/search-by-address/candidates-and-issues. Enter your address then “submit.” Click on “Ivins City Council.”
Final Thought
All of the candidates running are good people who care about Ivins. But serving on the City Council is a unique responsibility. It takes serious effort to understand the complexities of the issues we face—and how policy decisions impact everyone in the community. I hope these ideas help you make a thoughtful decision. Thanks for caring about our city, and for voting.

Janell Bassett, Editor
Deonne and David Knill: Do your research, make your move
Deonne and David Knill both have very technical minds. Deonne is a civil engineer with a focus on environmental remediation. David brings 30 years of technical sales and consulting to his work at Cisco where he advises customers on the requirements, design, and implementation of network technology.
Researching situations carefully is second nature to both Knills, but once they’ve done their homework, the are quick to make a move. Such is the story that led them to Kayenta—finding a home and a life very different from their 25 years in Portland, Oregon.
Deonne’s family moved from Washington to Montana when she was 10, where she lived until she went to Purdue University to study engineering, where David, who grew up near the campus, studied Industrial Management with a minor in computer science. After a stint in Kansas City, the couple moved to Oregon and raised their son Devlin, now following in the family’s technical tradition by studying aerospace engineering.
The Knills had never been to southern Utah prior to 2024, when Deonne took part in a 3-day Trail Running event in Kanab for her 50th birthday. “We looked at a few houses in Kanab while we were there thinking it would be a good place to move,” David says. Back home “we did some more research and figured we should look more at St. George since it was closer to activities like basketball, Costco 😊, and there were still places with red rocks.” Another trip, lunch at Xetava, and “a lot more research” sealed the deal.
“The carefully planned development, prioritization of preserving the natural environment, and not cramming in house after house really hit all our desires for our next home,” says Deonne. They moved in in April of this year.
Their new locale enables their passions for sports—college basketball and football and the NFL and the National Women’s Soccer League, with the Seattle Seahawks and the Purdue Boilermakers high on their list of favorites. They’ve traveled to watch Purdue in the 2024 NCAA men’s basketball championship, as well as the USA Olympic Trials last summer and the World Championships the year before. Both like to walk/hike together and David has joined a weekly pickup basketball game at Nets on Fire, “even at my advanced age,” he adds.
Deonne retired early from ”interesting work with a great team” when Covid had me rethinking what I was doing and why. Our son had one more year left in high school, and it seemed like I could soak in those last months of parenting before he moved out.” Today, David continues to work remotely, with an occasional plane trip along the way.
Deonne has gone to work with the Desert Preservation Initiative, which she read about before they made an offer on their Kayenta home. “As soon as we had an accepted contract, I emailed DPI, introduced myself, and expressed my desire to get involved,” Deonne reports. “I love to be outside, and the watershed preservation and restoration aspect is perfect for my background. I spent over 25 years doing environmental cleanup work, so this feels like a mini extension of that.”
As David reports, “This is our first summer ever in the desert and we’re surviving so far…and I actually like the heat.” Together, they relish the fact that “There is so much to learn from leaving the Pacific Northwest rainforest and moving to the Mojave Desert.” Let the research begin!
Editors note. If you know someone that you think should be featured in our monthly Kayenta Connection under our NEW “Resident Spotlight” section please email the Kayenta Connection at kayentaconnection@rdicreative.com. Our intent is to focus on the incredible people living in our community– be they seasoned residents or new recruits.

VIRTUAL DINNER PARTY #108
GRILLED TURKEY BURGER WITH BARBECUED ONIONS, SPICY MAYO AND AVOCADO
When the midsummer heat hits triple digits, the best seat in the house is outside by the grill with a cold drink in hand. Whether it’s poolside, at a summer blowout, or just dinner in the backyard, the true taste of summer can always be found on the grill. Beef, chicken, and even hot dogs shine over an open flame, but in my opinion, a great burger is the undeniable star of summer dining.
I’m all about a good turkey burger, but let’s be honest, they’ve earned their reputation for being bland, boring, and dry. I’ve spent years dialing in my recipe to produce a burger that’s juicy and flavorful enough to win over even the most die-hard beef burger aficionados. This month’s VDP recipe employs a little kitchen know-how and some high-flavor condiments like sweet, smoky onions, creamy avocado, and a spicy barbeque mayo to help you turn out a burger that’s anything but dull.
Grilling a burger is usually fairly straightforward, but when the recipe calls for ground turkey, a bit of technique and finesse can help set you up for success. The reason is that turkey burgers are notoriously tricky—unlike beef, turkey must be cooked all the way through. The USDA recommends an internal temperature of 160°F to 165°F, which means a longer cook time. Turkey is also naturally lower in fat so it lacks the juiciness that fattier meats deliver. To solve these issues, I combine two types of ground turkey: lean breast meat and regular ground turkey (made with both white and dark meat). This blend not only adds flavor, but also brings in just enough fat to keep the burgers moist and satisfying through their extended time on the grill.
I recommend preheating your grill for at least 20 minutes before placing anything on the grates. And make sure that the grates are scrupulously clean. Shape your patties and freeze them for 20 minute to make the grilling process easier. A light mist of nonstick olive oil cooking spray before placing them on the grill is also helpful. Then place them on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes with the lid closed. After the first side is done, flip the burgers, add cheese if you’d like, and cook for another 3–4 minutes. Once they hit an internal temperature of 160°F to 165°F, they’re good to go. Chef’s tip: Resist the urge to open the grill or press on the burgers with a spatula—that just squeezes out all the juices.
Once you’ve nailed those perfect patties, tuck them into soft, toasted buns with lightly charred, garden-fresh onions (shout out to Nate and Sara!), a generous slather of mayo, and buttery avocado slices. I promise, the result is a turkey burger that’s bold, delicious and rivals even the best beef burger
If you want to sip while you flip, Tim and Judy suggest pouring a red—something like a Cabernet Franc or a Rhône-style blend with plenty of Grenache. Or if you’re in the mood for something spirit-free, try this twist on a classic Lime Rickey: stir together 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 1 T simple syrup, 4 ounces of soda water, and 1 teaspoon of caper or pickle juice. Pour it over ice and garnish with a lime wedge. I know the caper or pickle juice sounds a little strange, but that splash of brine adds a savory edge that mimics the earthy complexity of alcohol which is surprisingly great with the acidic bite of the lime.
If you have not joined the Virtual Dinner Party but would like to dine with us, please prepare this recipe – or any other – and share it with your family, friends and neighbors. It is our group’s firm belief that by preparing something good to eat and sharing it with those we love, we are participating in one of life’s greatest joys. The connection, community and good will that come from it fill us with joy, hope and gratitude. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
Thanks for coming to the party and Cook On! – Victoria
VIRTUAL DINNER PARTY 108
GRILLED TURKEY BURGER WITH BARBECUED ONIONS, SPICY MAYO AND AVOCADO
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. ground turkey breast
1 /2 lb. ground turkey
2 t. kosher salt
1 t. freshly ground pepper
4 1 /2″-thick slices red onion
1 /4 cup homemade or store-bought barbecue sauce
4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
4 buttered hamburger buns, toasted
barbeque mayonnaise recipe below
sliced avocado
METHOD:
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Make spicy mayonnaise: Combine 1 /2 cup mayonnaise, 1 t. red chili sauce, 2 T prepared or homemade barbeque sauce, and juice of half a lime together in a small bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving so flavors can develop.
Prepare Burgers: Combine ground turkey meats, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, tossing gently with your hands. Shape into four 3 /4″ thick patties. Spray patties with nonstick spray and freeze for 20 minutes. Place cold burgers on grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip burgers and top with cheese. Grill to 160°F to 165°F 3–4 more minutes. Remove from grill and let rest while you prepare onions.
Grill onions: Brush onions with barbecue sauce and cook until soft. Turn often, brushing with additional sauce throughout the grilling process.
Turn off the grill and toast buttered buns lightly. Chef’s Tip: This is my go-to method for perfectly toasted burger buns—turning the grill off helps prevent the all-too-common burnt bun situation.
Serve burgers topped with spicy barbeque mayonnaise, onions, and avocado

DPI – Desert Preservation Initiative
Advocate: Chuck Warren
June 2025
DPI workshop: Building a culture of safety
The measure of the strength of a commitment is often how difficult it is to keep. Thus, the time invested in learning and preparing to follow up on a commitment pays off in two ways—it makes it easier to accomplish a complicated task and it also reinforces the strength of your commitment.
The well attended safety Desert Preservation Initiative workshop conducted by Ivins City Parks Superintendent Joseph Rawlinson May 13 offered critical advice on using the equipment needed to accomplish DPI’s goal of removing the highly flammable invasive tamarisk. Addressing key safety procedures and practices, Rawlinson led the group through ways to increase their efficiency and effectiveness, thereby making it easier to maintain their commitment to this work.
The key theme of the day was the safety principles and procedures that define all that DPI does. Rawlinson stressed that the person who is operating a piece of equipment is in charge. And, as DPI President Chuck Warren says, “As with any endeavor, such as marriage, you really don’t know on many levels what it is about until you are up to your knees in the weeds. And that is true of DPI’s efforts to deal with tamarisk. All of those participating in the experience of DPI have to appreciate the complexities and simplicities of this community building process. The safety culture is an important aspect of what we do.”
reminded the group, “It can be easy to be lax when you’ve done this work before,” which is why the creation of a culture of safety is vital. That would include daily reviews of safety standards and practices on the job.
Rawlinson covered a wide range of topics, from personal protective equipment (PPE) to the types of equipment typically used, how to maintain such equipment and how to use it properly. This included safety glasses and hearing protection, as well as clothing and shoes. He covered loppers, axes, and chain saws and reciprocating saws, among others, carefully reviewing safety mechanisms and equipment operations for each tool.
DPI board member Sara Dupre found that “These safety demonstrations are critical for new and seasoned DPI volunteers for the reminder of keeping safety a priority for ourselves and our other volunteers next to us on the site.” Volunteer Randy Wright, a fire fighter for 35 years, supports the good work of DPI in “eradicating invasive species and reducing fire hazards.” Noting that “Safety is everybody’s responsibility,” he found Joseph Rawlinson’s presentation “excellent.”
Rawlinson plans a follow-up workshop in the fall when he will bring a park crew to demonstrate safe removal procedures.
Ivins City Parks Superintendent and Certified Arborist Joseph Rawlinson demonstrated safe use and handling of a wide variety of cutting and trimming equipment.

INKAS – Ivins No Kill Animal Supporters
Advocate: Lois Hewitt
Ivins No-Kill Animal Supporters (INKAS) is a 501(c)3 organization and a Registered Utah Charity. It was founded in 2010 with the mission of providing support to Ivins Animal Shelter and Adoption Center, now the Santa Clara-Ivins Animal Shelter. In 2006 our shelter became the first no-kill municipal shelter in the state of Utah. Maintaining a no-kill shelter, as opposed to one that euthanizes animals after a set period of time, is more costly because the animal’s needs must be met at the shelter until they are reclaimed by their owners, adopted, or transferred to an animal rescue organization. Through a memorandum of understanding with Ivins City, INKAS provides support through veterinary care, specialty foods, and other needed supplies. Funds are raised through the sale of merchandise at various local events and through the donations of many generous animal lovers. You can help by designating INKAS as your charity on Amazon Smile or by donating on our website.

The Kayenta Desert Arboretum is getting a new and beautiful look this spring.

Kayenta Landscaping Committee
If you love plants and gardening….
A phenomenal new resource is now available to guide you in creating your Kayenta landscaping, available on the Kayenta HOA website.
The Kayenta ACC Landscaping Committee has just released a new guide to plants currently suggested for use, listing plant characteristics such as typical height and width, growth rate and—perhaps most useful—whether the species is available at local nurseries.
There are links attached to each of the plant IDs and names which lead to images of the plants and in-depth information available online.
In addition, the guide specifies in what areas plants can be used, such as the natural area, the transitional area or in a courtyard. A “Notes” section includes other advice and things to know about a given plant.
This user-friendly Guide to Kayenta Plants is located in the ACC’s Landscaping Documents.

The Kayenta Concept
The Kayenta Concept is a philosophy that has steered the development of our exceptional community since its inception. The standards that underlie that concept are enforced by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC), which serves both the Shonto Point and Taviawk HOAs. The pre-amble to the 2021 ACC Handbook lays out the basics of the architectural rules that have been followed to create the homes and land-scape we live in.
When your home was designed the Kayenta Concept was front and center. The ACC reviewed your design to evaluate whether it followed the rules, and the ACC monitored construction of your home through landscaping and occupation, again, reviewing adherence to design and construction standards. When you received your occupancy permit and construction deposit refund from the ACC, on-going compliance with the Kayenta Con-cept became the responsibility of your HOA Board of Directors. Your Board has the authority to perpetuate the Kayenta Concept into the future and gladly accepts that role.
The Kayenta Concept is worth reviewing to remind us that what we have here has only happened because of the rules Kayenta developer Terry Marten set up to own, build and live in Kayenta. His vision and the governing documents he developed to achieve and maintain that vision established the Kayenta HOAs and gave them the responsibility and authority to enforce the CC&Rs that underlie the beauty and value we all enjoy
