Scottsdale’s answer to how to fund the estimated $775 million in capital improvement needs has taken its first step toward action as “keep the lights on” projects have been identified.
In late March, Scottsdale City Council received an update on formal recommendations from its Council Capital Improvement Subcommittee — a three-member advisory body made up of elected leaders and department heads — on which of the municipality’s project wish list ought to be funded.
The CIP Subcommittee is comprised of elected leaders Guy Phillips, Suzanne Klapp and Kathy Littlefield as City Treasurer Jeff Nichols serves as liaison between staff and the larger governing body.
