Scottsdale voters will decide which of two competing factions will take control of the city during the Nov. 5 general election, when a controversial sales tax initiative and a measure that officials say is needed to avoid cutting city services will also appear on the ballot.

Scottsdale voters will elect a mayor and choose from four City Council candidates who are vying for two open seats.

While most political attention will be turned toward national and state races, how your community is governed has an immediate bearing on your day-to-day life.

City and town councils vote on development, local taxes and street improvements. They make deals to bring big employers to the area.

They set budgets that determine the level of police and fire service you get and what parks and libraries to keep open.
