While Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky’s former Chief of Staff Lamar Whitmer was fired March 20 for what the city presented as a laundry list of policy violations, he appears to have been spoken to only once for his behavior before he was let go.
A public records request for the documents in Whitmer’s personnel file — which took more than two and a half months to completely fulfill — shows almost no history of reprimands or corrective actions against him.
A report released by the city of Scottsdale on March 20 — the day Whitmer was fired — describes Whitmer’s alleged transgressions going back to Oct. 24, 2025, two months after becoming Borowsky’s right-hand man.
