The commission also approved the safety‑plan timeline with flexibility for additional meetings.
The Scottsdale Transportation Commission approved several organizational items on Jan. 16, including acceptance of amended minutes, re‑election of its chair and vice chair, and a meeting calendar for 2025 that preserves nine regular meeting months and leaves July, October and December off the schedule.
Commissioners moved and seconded the minutes’ approval, and a roll‑call vote accepted the minutes as amended. Commissioners then nominated and voted to retain Chair Miller and Vice Chair Wilcoxon. The commission also voted to meet in January, February, March, April, May, June, August, September and November, with July, October and December off, and later approved the safety‑plan meeting timeline with staff flexibility to add meetings if additional review is needed.
