The team is on track to present initial concepts to the community in late November.” Towards the bottom of the newsletter, you will also find comments made by residents at open houses conducted by the city.

Any discussion of construction on the Preserve of one acre or larger without a vote of the citizens who voted to tax themselves to purchase a “Preserve” is in violation of the Scottsdale City Charter.
The “Preserve” is “land left in its natural state” – If any 4 people on the City Council can vote to change the land from its “natural state” by construction, then there will be no stopping any future Council from building anything 4 of them want – or are induced by developers, to support. We must fight for the Council to acknowledge that they do not have the unilateral power to destroy the Preserve.
