By Councilwoman Jan Dubauskas
Dear Friends,
THANK YOU! It was an honor to be sworn in on Tuesday as your new Scottsdale City Councilwoman!! Scottsdale is an incredible city – the jewel of the American southwest. From our spark of Western spirit, our thriving business and tourism economy, and our beautiful preserve – we are blessed to live here and I am honored to serve YOU. Thank You!!
In our first meeting as your new Scottsdale City Council, I am proud to report you:
Promises Made – Promises Kept! Together, we:
1) Appointed Greg Caton as Interim City Manager. Mr. Caton is a recent addition to the Scottsdale team and has over 10 years of experience as a City Manager. I am confident he will lead with fresh eyes and a shared vision for the city of Scottsdale.
2) We created the Budget Review Commission which will examine the fiscal expenditures of the city to ensure that your dollars are spent wisely.
3) We established the Council sub-committee on Public Safety. To date, Scottsdale has not had a Council sub-committee on Public Safety and this committee will give us an opportunity to ensure that our residents, visitors, and community members are safe at all times.
4) By 4 votes (Littlefield, Graham, Kwasman, and Dubauskas) we repealed the Scottsdale Green New Deal that was passed in the December lame duck session. And in this vote, we established a new Task Force that will expand the scope to examine the city’s long-term fiscal, population, and conservation needs.
5) Finally, we addressed the Scottsdale Rd & Dynamite roundabout by asking the Interim City Manager to examine the opportunity to make a signalized light. We expect to hear on that soon!
Our best days are ahead of us!
For Scottsdale,
Jan Dubauskas
