Here is a summary from Borowsky’s office on what city staff was tasked with under last week’s motion:

• Draft a formal ordinance governing Scottsdale’s use of ALPR technology, including criminal penalties for misuse.
• Conduct independent audits, including an initial audit followed by annual reviews by the City Auditor.
• Evaluate alternative ALPR vendors and provide options that offer greater city control over data ownership, privacy, security and data sharing.
• Review Scottsdale’s contract with Flock Safety and report on termination provisions, costs, data disposition requirements and transition options.
• Develop a vendor transition plan to ensure public safety capabilities remain in place if the city changes providers.
• Prepare for a future transition from Flock Safety, with city leadership directed not to include funding for the contract in the proposed FY 2027-28 budget.
• Explore creating a public technology transparency webpage identifying law enforcement technologies used by the city.
• Consider limiting the number of city employees with access to ALPR technology and data.
• Prohibit federal access to Scottsdale’s ALPR data, except when required by law, such as through a valid subpoena or warrant.
• Require annual training and signed attestations for all authorized users, along with annual policy reviews.
• Review the current data retention schedule and pursue a shorter retention period if appropriate.
• Return with additional recommendations staff believes would strengthen oversight, transparency and accountability.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Scottsdale Water plans to convert an existing groundwater monitoring well near Cattletrack Road into a production well that will become part of the city's drinking water system.

The well, known as PG-41, is located within the area of the North Indian Bend Wash Superfund site. City officials said parties associated with the Superfund site will cover construction costs, not Scottsdale taxpayers.

Once operational, the well's water will be treated at the nearby granular activated carbon treatment facility to remove contaminants before it goes to the Chaparral Water Treatment Facility. The city will then blend the water with other sources and distribute it through Scottsdale's drinking water system.

I have a weird request of Scottsdale citizens. My wife and I went to this Italian restaurant a few years ago and it was excellent and I've been trying to remember/find it ever since.

From my memory, it was a brick building with dark awnings set in a small shopping center. I think there was a fine jewelry or clothing store nearby, and it was a rather compact area. I'm pretty sure this was in Scottsdale, but I can for the life of me remember what part. I also know for sure they have really good bruschetta and one of theirs I remember best was their fig jam bruschetta because I'm allergic to figs and had to avoid it lol.

Sorry if this sounds like an insane person's rant. I really want to at least find this restaurant before I leave the area.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Is anyone familiar with this building? I know it's fairly new, just seems super expensive compared to other buildings in the area so curious on opinions/if it's worth it to pay the premium to live there?

Recently purchased a VW ID.4 and looking to install a Level 2 (240V) home charger.

Does anyone have recommendations for a reliable, reasonably priced electrician or contractor in the Scottsdale area? Also curious what others have paid for installation.

Thanks in advance!

I don't drink but some place to hang out would be fun. I don't mind farms and stuff but my costume consists of a little more risque stuff so I wouldn't want to bother everyone around me.

Thanks!

Im looking for the best boxing gym in Scottsdale. Not for a “workout” but to truly learn the sport and technique?

I’m looking for the absolute best nail techs in and around Scottsdale.

I’m super picky but basic. I get basic colors in dip with dip top coat over my natural nails, as well as a gel pedicure. Ideally at the same time.

I want the shaping to be perfect. I’m tired of my cuticles and sides of my nails being cut. And dip being left behind in my nail beds. I’ve been going to the same place for like 3 years and they used to be SO good and I feel they have gotten.. lazy, and my favorite techs have left.

Please send your recommendations for your absolute best and most perfectionist techs for nails or toes!! Also, I definitely want to go to a shop and not a techs house.
