Summary
At a Dec. 1 special meeting, Scottsdale City Council appointed Jenna Moore to the Board of Adjustment, reappointed Austin Brooker and Aaron Gokul to the Lost Trust Fund Board by acclamation, and named Katie Correll to the Neighborhood Advisory Commission after interviews with nominees.
Scottsdale City Council on Dec. 1 completed a series of interviews and appointments for citizen advisory boards and commissions.
Jenna Moore was appointed to the Board of Adjustment after an interview in which she described her background in political science and commercial real estate and said the board must balance preservation of open space with business growth. Council announced Moore’s appointment following brief remarks and a voice vote.
The council reappointed Austin Brooker and appointed Aaron Gokul to the Lost Trust Fund Board by acclamation; Brooker, who serves as the board’s vice chair, outlined experience in acquisitions and financial analysis and emphasized data‑driven reserve management. The council suspended the rules and approved both appointments without formal roll call.
For the Neighborhood Advisory Commission — which advises council on housing and neighborhood preservation and revitalization — five applicants were considered after two withdrew. Nominees Rafael Borovia, Katie Correll (appearing electronically), Jane Brenna and Terry Nickerson addressed the council about growth management, short‑term rentals, aging neighborhoods and neighborhood engagement. Council nominated and appointed Katie Correll to the commission.
Councilors thanked all applicants and said unsuccessful applicants remain on file for future vacancies. City staff will contact those appointed about next steps and onboarding.
