Two Scottsdale City Council members are pursuing limitations on established city code amendments that allow city staff to decide when and how city-owned property held in trust is either sold, swapped or bought sometimes without a public auction as prescribed through ordinance.
Council members David Smith and Kathy Littlefield made a motion at the Aug. 25 Scottsdale City Council meeting to place limits on Scottsdale Revised City Code, Section 2-221, which defines how the municipality disposes of and uses taxpayer property.
