Progress Editorial on Scottsdale Charter Amendments
The Progress urges Scottsdale voters to approve six proposed amendments to the 1961 city charter. The measures aim to modernize government by granting property control within city limits, establishing a muster plan, enabling city service levies, extending terms to four years with staggered elections, empowering the mayor in emergencies, revising residence rules for employees, streamlining public notices, and clarifying election procedures. The editorial credits citizen study, officials, and experts for recommendations and argues the amendments do not reduce voter power.
