Scottsdale City Council regular meeting and work-study session, October 20, 2026. The Council approved consent agenda items 1–20, with item 8 considered separately, and approved Resolution 13772 authorizing a GLO easement abandonment (case AB00003-2026); the discussion cited a $49,744 valuation. A Council member also requested a future discussion of the city’s approach to pricing and maintaining GLO easements. No contract awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were identified.

The water work-study discussion reviewed potential capital investments and supply options, including use of stored Salt River water, a sixth wastewater pumpback station, Booster Pump Station 10 improvements, a CAP canal connection, and advanced water purification. Staff said the pumpback and stored-water projects had been submitted as requests for the next capital budget; no funding or construction approvals were made during the session. AWP options were estimated at $133 million or $164 million in capital costs, with annual operating costs of $6.3 million or $7.3 million and total present-worth costs of $232 million or $277 million. The Council also voted to direct the city attorney to return with options for potential data-center safeguards and regulations; staff reported no pending data-center applications.
