On the consent calendar, the largest dollar commitment is Item 8: Resolution No. 13767 would authorize Contract No. 2026-146-COS with Shade N Net of Arizona, Inc., through a Mohave Educational Services Cooperative agreement, for pre-engineered shade structures at a not-to-exceed amount of $750,000 per term, with an initial term ending April 3, 2027, and four possible one-year extensions.

Item 11 accepts a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement grant from the Maricopa Association of Governments Regional Council, not to exceed $377,676, to purchase a PM-10 certified street sweeper. The resolution also authorizes a budget transfer of up to $377,676 from the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Fleet Management Fund into a newly created Grants Fund cost center.

Item 9 authorizes a real estate brokerage consulting contract with DMD Real Estate Group, LLC, for aviation-related services at an estimated annual cost of $56,000, not to exceed $150,000, with a one-year initial term and four possible renewals.

Items 1 through 4 are liquor license recommendations for new owners at existing locations: Bonfire Craft Kitchen and Tap House at 14148 N. 100th Street, Bing Bistro at 15577 N. Hayden Road Suite C103, Wicked Seafood and Meats Gourmet Market at 7609 E. Pinnacle Peak Road Suites C4 and C5, and Café Remedy at 32409 N. Scottsdale Road No. 107. All four seek Series 12 restaurant licenses.

Item 5 would grant a permanent extension of premises for Ari & Lloyd at 7107 E. 6th Avenue to expand the patio under its existing Series 12 license. Item 6 adopts Resolution No. 13753 approving a conditional use permit for Cedar Room, a bar on a roughly 1,170-square-foot site at 34482 N. Scottsdale Road Suite 130, zoned Central Business Environmentally Sensitive Lands.

Item 7 addresses a General Land Office patent easement abandonment at 7980 E. Redbird Road, Parcel No. 212-22-032A, under Resolution No. 13751. Item 10 authorizes a revocable license agreement with MTM Transit, LLC, for trolley operations office space at the North Corp Yard, 9191 E. San Salvador Drive.

The council is scheduled to approve minutes from its July 1, July 2, and Aug. 3, 2026 meetings. Items not reached by 10 p.m. will be continued to the next regular meeting, scheduled for Sept. 22, 2026. The meeting is televised on Cox Cable Channel 11 and streamed at ScottsdaleAZ.gov.

The agenda places Items 12 and 13 on the regular calendar, meaning they require individual presentation and council discussion rather than a single bundled vote. Aviation Director Wielebski and Police Chief LeDuc are listed as presenters for their respective items, signaling staff expects council questions.

Council vote on all items is expected Sept. 8; any unheard items move to Sept. 22.
