Ethics complaint against Scottsdale mayor, council members, goes into File 13

Scottsdale’s city attorney has dismissed an ethics complaint filed by a former mayoral candidate that targeted Mayor Jim Lane and City Council members Lisa Borowsky and Ron McCullagh, The Arizona Republic reports.

The former mayoral candidate, John Washington, filed the complaint alleging the three violated the ethics code by requesting potential budget cuts from the public-safety director, rather than the city manager, who oversees administration of all city affairs.

Judge Noel Fidel, who contracts as an independent ethics officer for Scottsdale,

found that McCullagh, Lane and Borowsky did cross a line when they requested a list of potential cuts or prioritizations in the Police Department from Public Safety Executive Director Alan Rodbell.

The violation, however, does not warrant a referral to an independent ethics panel, Fidel found.
