City Council | Community Facilities Districts, Special and Regular Meetings - June 9, 2026

The Scottsdale City Council held a series of meetings on June 9, 2026, including Community Facilities District (CFD) board meetings for DC Ranch, McDowell Mountain Ranch, Via Linda Road, and Scottsdale Waterfront Commercial. Each CFD board approved their respective budgets for fiscal year 2026-2027 through resolutions and public hearings, with no public opposition. The council then convened a special meeting to nominate residents for various city boards and commissions. The regular city council meeting included extensive discussions on the proposed fiscal year 2026-2027 budget, focusing heavily on water infrastructure funding and property tax levies. The council voted unanimously to forgo the 2% maximum property tax levy increase, providing tax relief to residents. Public testimony highlighted concerns about the removal of $230 million in water capital improvement projects from the budget, urging reinstatement of funding for water security and advanced purified recycled water facilities. Council members debated reallocating $20 million from contingency funds to support emergency well drilling and design of a recycled water facility, but this motion was not adopted. The final budget ordinance was approved as presented, without the additional water funding. Other procurement-related items included approval of various capital improvement projects and employee compensation adjustments. A motion was passed to agenda a future policy discussion on optional cancer screenings for firefighters. Overall, the meeting emphasized fiscal stewardship, water resource planning, and community engagement in budgetary decisions.
