Update:  Scottsdale City Clerk verified signatures. That process ensures sheets are complete, notarized, and compliant. If at least 15,353 valid signatures remain after reviewed, a random 5% sample was  sent to the Maricopa County Recorder for voter verification by Feb. 12, 2025. The requirements were met, the ordinance can appear on the November 2026 General Election ballot, though the 2025 City Council could opt for a taxpayer-funded Special Election. The cost of a 2025 special election is estimated to be $650,000 for which the Scottsdale City Council has indicted informally they will not approve.  For more details, contact [email protected] funded.

An AZ Senate bill has been introduced to potentially change a city council decision from legislative to administrative and that would disallow Referendums by the public. Part of bill, if approved, would be retroactive to July 1, 2024.  There has not been a legal opinion that if this AZ bill becomes law would the stipulations that were negotiated with the nearby neighborhood.

In April 2025, the AZ State House of Representatives passed a bill on to the Senate for consideration . The bill passed and was signed into law by Governor Katie Hobbs on April 18, 2025.  The bill restricts city zoning authority over international headquarter projects (plus other details). Since the bill has passed the Senate the 2026 Referendum ballot vote will be moot. There has not been a legal opinion that if this AZ bill becomes law, would the stipulations that were negotiated with the nearby neighborhood be enforceable.
