Residents invited to review proposed bond program Wednesday
Residents are invited to share their views on a proposed city bond program that includes 34 projects totaling $167.5 million.
The package was compiled by the Scottsdale Bond Task Force, which will take public comments at its meeting set for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22, at the Via Linda Senior Center, 10440 E. Via Linda Road.
Information on the proposed projects and the bond program process is available at: www.scottsdaleaz.gov/bondtaskforce.
The Task Force was formed last summer by the City Council and charged with reviewing and recommending projects for a possible bond election in 2012 or beyond.
During an extensive public outreach process that included 13 meetings in eight different community locations, the task force reviewed dozens of potential projects.
Wednesday’s meeting represents the latest opportunity for residents and other community stakeholders to review the draft projects and provide comments.
The Task Force plans to finalize the program on March 8 and present its recommendations to the City Council on March 27 at a join study session.
