http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/councilOne member's bio (bottom row, middle member) could be consistent with being LDS (five children). It appears he went to community college and then opened an A/C business, so there is no tell-tale BYU credential.
In contrast, here is the Gilbert AZ city council:
http://www.gilbertaz.gov/departments/town-hall/mayor-town-councilThe mayor is a BYU grad (and not reticent to list this credential in his bio----in Scottsdale, it might be wiser to list the degree/field and leave out the school, if BYU). THe vice-mayor has four kids, is a Boy Scout leader, and may very well be LDS (degrees are listed but not schools). Of the remaining five council members, Daniels (four children; "active in her church") and Petersen (four children) are likely LDS, which would make a 4/7 LDS majority.
Over in Mesa
http://www.mesaaz.gov/city-hall/mayor-councilthe mayor boasts a BYU degree. Of the council members, Glover actually lists his missionary work in his bio*. None of the other five members appear to be LDS. A long shot might be the fireman; LDS affiliation could be hidden since normally fireman don't sport lots of undergrad/grad degrees (some do but most do not).
*"His family history ties directly to Mesa. His great-grandparents, Wilford and Ella Farnsworth, came to Mesa in 1948 from Mexico. His mother's parents, Dr. Eugene and LaVieve Swenson, followed and have lived in Mesa for almost all of their married life. His father's parents, Harry and Patricia Glover, came to Arizona in 1956. They fell in love with Mesa and its charm and decided to live here. Christopher's parents, Mark and Ann Glover, have lived in Mesa for almost their entire lives. Glover has lived in Mesa for his entire life, except the two years he spent in Argentina on a mission as a representative of his church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
