The City of Scottsdale has issued a statement regarding the upcoming town hall meeting scheduled for January 29 in Rio Verde Foothills. The city acknowledges the urgency with which elected representatives in the unincorporated area are working to find water solutions for their constituents.
Due to ongoing litigation initiated by Rio Verde Foothills residents against Scottsdale, city staff will not be present at the town hall meeting. The lawsuit remains unresolved, prompting this decision.
Scottsdale is open to discussing potential short- and long-term water solutions with Maricopa County, the local governing body for Rio Verde. This willingness is contingent upon compliance with Scottsdale's state-mandated Drought Management Plan and ensuring no negative impact on Scottsdale residents. The city also appreciates assistance from members of the Arizona State Legislature in advancing these potential solutions.
Scottsdale has previously issued several statements on this issue, providing additional information and context about its position.
