The Scottsdale City Council agreed to give Scottsdale Arts nearly $6.3 million for operating expenses next fiscal year, but unlike in other years, they attached some strings to the money.
The council approved the money, along with a management service agreement with Scottsdale Arts, by a 5-2 vote during its Feb. 24 meeting.
The city staff already conducted an audit this year of the management agreement and tightened up some of the language and made expectations clearer, but that wasn’t enough for the majority of the council.
