Civic
The Civic desk follows Scottsdale City Council meetings, official city news, water and flood control, schools as they intersect with city life, and public-safety records the city already publishes.
Regular council meetings are scheduled twice a month at 5 p.m. on Tuesdays, as the city is able, with additional meetings called as needed. Always check the clerk’s agenda before you go or comment.
