Scottsdale approves East Camelback road upgrade and bridge plan
Scottsdale Town Council approved a plan to widen East Camelback from Scottsdale road to Miller road to 64 feet and build a bridge. Pilatas will contribute 25,000 toward the bridge and design with the county covering remaining costs. Annexation of nearby properties is needed to form an improvement district. The project targets the canal dry-up period next February for bridge work. The town also plans to annex the Scottsdale subdivision south of Purdue Drive and east of the Canal for access to downtown. Right of way for the south half has been obtained.

Need For Municipal Revenue Shown In Tax and Budget Tables
Town Manager Gordon Allison explains the town’s need for additional municipal revenue using released tax and budget tables. The figures show revenue sources spending patterns and state tax figures on Scottsdale property and sales taxes. The one percent sales tax for schools is collected with state sales tax and distributed to districts under the state aid program. In Scottsdale, high property values lift property tax income but reduce school allocation relative to poorer districts.
