A public vote has not been ruled out but has not been set, either.

Much-anticipated details on the controversial Desert Discovery Center should be available at the end of July. But activists already are threatening to sue the city over the project.
Two opposition groups, NoDDC and Protect Our Preserve, filed a notice of claim, which is often the precursor to a lawsuit, with Scottsdale in late May to push for a public vote on the center.
A public vote has not been ruled out. Mayor Jim Lane, during his State of the City address in February, said a public vote should follow the release of the project’s details.
The Desert Discovery Center, referred to as the DDC, is supported by some as a place to educate residents and visitors on the Sonoran Desert. Among critics’ concerns are allowing the development in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.
