Starting Monday, the newsletter will be sent weekly instead of twice a week. It will include details and links to frequently requested information such as city meetings, general phone numbers, reporting methods, and weather updates.

Links to direct sources are provided for Senior Services eNewsletter subscriptions, crime statistics from the Police Department, business openings and closings through the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce, and planning projects via P & Z Link. Readers interested in city services or historical stories can expect more coverage on these topics.
