Scottsdale council enters executive session to consult on 'Axon' state bill and local development agreements

Mayor Lisa Boroski called a June 10 special meeting of the Scottsdale City Council and moved the council into executive session to consult with the city attorney about legal matters. "Now, I will entertain a motion to adjourn into executive session for the purpose of discussing and consulting with the city's attorneys for legal advice," Boroski said.

The mayor said the discussion would focus on recently enacted state legislation the meeting identified as "Senate Bill 1543, otherwise known as the Axon bill," and on matters tied to "Axon's previously approved zoning case and development agreements for property located near the intersection of the 101 and Hayden Road," according to her remarks. The remarks were made during the council's motion to convene in executive session.

City Clerk Ben Lane conducted a roll call that showed Mayor Lisa Boroski, Vice Mayor Jan De Boskus and council members Barry Graham, Adam Clausman, Cathy Littlefield, Mary Anne McAllen and Solange Whitehead present. The transcript records the motion being made and the council moving into executive session; no mover, second, or public vote tally is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.

The meeting record indicates the council adjourned into executive session immediately after the motion. The transcript does not include further public discussion, written materials, or any formal decisions taken in that closed session.

Because the meeting moved into a closed attorney–client session, no additional details about legal advice, staff direction, or any follow-up steps were disclosed in the public portion of the transcript.
