Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky said she was shocked to receive the 'Parkingate Tapes' from the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office after an anonymous complaint over private meetings about a parking garage, with three council members accusing her of a power grab.

At a May 29 town hall at Mustang Library, Mayor Lisa Borowsky addressed a packed crowd and explained she backed delaying the Old Town parking garage by calling for an updated parking study—she also voiced concerns about Senate Bill 1543 limiting local zoning power.

She restored two full-time support positions and promised more public meetings as she works with City Council to guide Scottsdale's development.
