A new email subscription enables Scottsdale residents to be notified when city council meeting agendas are posted or amended.

This initiative is designed to enhance transparency and foster greater citizen engagement by providing timely and convenient access to important meeting information, according to a press release.

To sign-up, residents can visit ScottsdaleAZ.gov and search “City Clerk.” Subscribers will receive an email with a link to each City Council meeting agenda when it is posted.

“We are excited to introduce this new service, which will significantly improve timely notification of council meeting agendas,” Scottsdale City Clerk Ben Lane, whose office will manage the system, said in the press release. “The collaboration between the city clerk’s office and the information technology staff has been outstanding, and we are grateful for their efforts in making this idea a reality.”

A technical limitation prevented the city from pursuing a City Council agenda notification subscription although the idea had previously been explored by staff. After a recent suggestion from a resident, the issue was revisited and resolved, according to the press release.

By implementing this solution, Scottsdale furthers its commitment to transparency by ensuring that residents have easy access to important information, the press release said.

The June 27 City Council Meeting will be the first to use this new system.
