The Scottsdale City Council voted on Sept. 12 to take a preliminary step towards filing a lawsuit against the state over a law that will allow Axon to build its global headquarters in the city.
The council voted 6-1 to instruct the city’s interim attorney to file a notice of claim, which will reserve the city’s right to challenge the law that paved the way for the headquarters and bypass a ballot measure that would’ve let voters determine the fate of the project.
Councilmember Kathy Littlefield cast the lone ‘no’ vote.
The council approved the notice of claim just days after they voted during a Sept. 9 meeting to withdraw an agenda item to authorize a lawsuit against the state.
