The League of Women Voters of East Maricopa and the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce sponsor a city election questionnaire with 75 word limits per question. Three write in candidates announced last minute could not respond before the deadline. The page presents the candidates' answers in a box.
A compilation of statements from Scottsdale officials and residents detailing involvement in city affairs, master plan updates, transportation priorities, zoning views, industry balance, and fiscal aims. Key figures discuss long range planning, road extensions, CAP Canal connections, and retail tourism impact. The material includes roles on boards, councils, and zoning commissions, plus budget and citizen engagement goals.
The candidate cites strong financial controls and Siemens experience, calls master plans guidelines needing updates after annexation, prioritizes Hayden Road extension and Pima four lanes, emphasizes transportation balance with land use, supports controlled growth and modest housing impact, urges light industrial growth and residential-tourist balance, and sets five year fiscal projections plus no new staff, completes Indian Bend Wash project, and targets an economic plan for industrial land near Scottsdale Airport.
Carl Wulfert emphasizes 23 years of business experience as qualification for city council. He supports a modest adjustment to the north Scottsdale master plan to improve shopping options at Scottsdale and Shea, and calls for a plan to move traffic through possible freeway or one way street changes. He warns tough zoning has driven businesses away, favors reasonable controls, and urges encouraging light industry for jobs and tax revenue while stressing proper growth for all residents. He also highlights improving ties with the business community and outlines priorities: business and light industry for jobs, and balanced growth for citizens.
Local candidate Jay Gaskins outlines 25 years in government service and bids for Scottsdale mayor. He calls for a new master plan, improved traffic control and north south streets, stricter zoning, reduced water use, and targeted industry growth while noting past fiscal strains and public concerns.
City notes emphasize master plans as guides while annexed areas will get detailed zoning later. Hayden Road and Pima Road improvements aim to ease east side traffic, Bell Road highway status pursued. Growth driven by economic conditions, airport industrial park development, and flood control projects.
