“I really appreciate how you apply your professional and critical thinking to the tourism industry to think further. How could we do better? What can we do differently? Thinking about how do we make sure we don't duplicate efforts on the 5%. How do we manage our water together so that we maintain the strength of Scottsdale Gulf? leaning into your expertise and in no way do I mean this, but no rubber stamping here, right? This is serious. This is our leading industry in the city of Scottsdale. It is part of our brand and it's just part of our brand management and part of what makes Scottsdale…”

“I wanted to ask a question about the provision in here not to fund flock safety and what that would do to the budget. Because if we intend to bring another vendor back, we would budget for the new vendor, we would un-budget for flock. How would the budgeting work on that? I just want to make sure we're not creating a workflow problem later down the road.”

“And then we would have, presumably during the budgeting period, which we will soon be entering, a line item for an alternate vendor. Is that how you would do it?”

“Sure, Madam Mayor, is this a point of order? Is this, it seems to be referring to a current council candidate, so it seems to be perhaps electioneering.”

“Thank you, Joe. I just wanted to share my reflection on the time that we spent on the property. It is very inspiring to see the desert and to see Scottsdale through Frank Lloyd Wright's eyes and to walk through the hallways the way he used wind to Lower the temperatures, the way that he used the structure to create special environments. I just think it's really inspiring and it's interesting and it's just so takes us, even though it's a step away, it just takes us into another world. And so that otherworldly experience, I know you have 150,000 people a year, but I hope you have even more. And…”

“Yeah. And so one of the things that you taught me is that we have two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the state of Arizona. That's right. One of them is in Scottsdale.”

“What type of a permit does the VIG have?”

“It is during the day. OK, that's helpful. Thank you. I'm very sympathetic to the residents and the noise concerns that they have, so I'm not comfortable with going to 10 PM on a Friday or Saturday night, regardless of what the Planning Commission approved. I just think that's too noisy in a small residential area, and so I'm a no to the amendment.”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. On October 20th, we do have a very robust meeting with the water topic that you brought up. So I'll make a motion to amend and that we would have the meeting on the meeting immediately following, which will be November 10th. Do I have a second?”

“Thank you. Councilwoman Dabowskis. Thank you. I had a question about this slide. So we have two hospitals that are 100,000 to 250,000 gallons a day, multifamily and HOA. How many multifamily versus HOA?”
City Council · Sep 22, 2026

“So four multifamily. So those are large multifamily complexes, whether they're condos or apartments. Okay.”

“Right, the irrigation for their landscaping rather than for...”

“Oh, so they're not using the reclaimed water for landscaping. Correct. Okay. Is that something that we could look into?”

“Yeah, I guess part of what I'm thinking about when I look at this list is maybe it was something that, Councilman McKellen was driving at as well, is are there ways to reduce the use if this is a large-scale use? Are there ways to reduce the use or ways to use not potable water for that? So we have four HOAs in the first category. We have a big O HOA in the bottom category. We have two resorts, we have industrial, one retail, one mixed use. Mixed use probably goes along with the apartments, condos also. So that's gonna probably end up being five multifamilies. And so I think it's just…”

“So what I'm trying to understand also is we have a policy today, and so what would an ordinance do that's different than what we currently do today?”
