After about two years of work, Scottsdale still does not have a sustainability plan.
Receiving hundreds of emails opposed to the plan and hearing seven speakers against it at the May 21 meeting, members of the Scottsdale City Council voted unanimously to support council member Tom Durham's motion forego a vote to approve the plan presented by sustainability director Lisa McNeilly until it has been better explained to the public and has wider support.
“We’ve gotten hundreds of emails from residents who are either confused or find elements of the plan too extreme,” said Councilmember Barry Graham.
