Phoenix City Council members will vote Wednesday on whether to pay dues to renew membership in the League of Arizona Cities and Towns, an influential lobbying and education association.

The city shocked Valley municipal leaders last month when the council voted 5-4 to block payment to the league, with several members raising concerns about the $142,250 cost and the league's lobbying activity. After the move, league officials planned to meet with city leaders in an attempt to smooth over relations.

City staff has placed the league membership on the agenda for Wednesday's formal council meeting. However, the cost of league membership is still listed at $142,250.

Other meaty items on the agenda for the 5 p.m. council session include a vote to amend the city's redevelopment agreement for CityScape, a two-block office and retail high-rise in downtown. The changes would allow more tax revenue from the project to go directly into the city's general fund as opposed to helping paying off debt.

Council members also will consider giving the city manager authorization to hire a chief innovation executive with a starting salary of $139,000. Darryl Speach, the former chief innovation officer at New York Life Insurance, already has been selected for the job.
